from now until tho primary IN sep
tcmhar. II ls admitted that Soma
tor la Toilette Is tho most difficult
~ all the radical candidates to de-
feat. The choice Of Dr. Garfield
has served TO stlften tho backbone
OF opposition.

"Wo charge that Senator Robert
NJ. la Toilette was not true to his
country In tho time OF It's extreme
need and peril. that he failed to act
when patriotic action was impera-

as shameful and un-Americnn."

support OF Socialist.
Victor l.. Berger, socialist leader,
has stated that he believes no social
ist candidate should be placed in the
field. II tho berger plan is adopted
some 10000 socialist Yates Will go to
Ia Toilette. In return, Berger, who
IS a candidate for congress In the
fifth Milwaukee district, will receive
the votes of In Toilette men. Berger
was refused his seat on his last cleo
tion.
Governor Blaine is alleged to have
manifested too much friendllness To
the vets to satisfy the La Toilette
drys. IL is said that the senator is
having some trouble keeping order
in his camp. Some of the drys de-
manded that Blaine be omitted from
ported by In Toilette. II this was
not done they are said to have
threatened II rival candidacy. The
vets are so discontcntcd that they
are talking of nominating District
Attorney w. c. label of Milwaukee,
FOR governor.
ON prohibition the ls1roiirtt'
campaign policy has been neutral. /
was illustrated by the attitude of th'
late James Thompson. who, wheI
campaigning for United States sena
tor under the Ia Toilette banner twt
years ago. refused 10 tell hockler
where he stood. Though that pOliCt
IL believed to have cost Thompson
the election, the In Toilette cam
pnigners have not seen their wa,
clear to declare themselves an
more definitely, and the result
that both vets and drys are un
happy.
