WHAT OTHER U. s. SENATORS
THINK OF LA TOILETTE

Stalwarts in WiscOnsin%ho tell the
people that Robert M. La Toilette is
done" in the Senate, received a knock
out blow today from United States
Senator George H. Moses, Republican,
of New Hampshire
Senator Moses is one of the most
conservative men in the United States
Senate. In fact, in some circles he
might pass as a 'stand-patter." Yet
he snorted with disgust today when in
formed that the stalwarts in Wiscon-
sin have been driven to the argument
that Senator La Toilette has ceased to
be factor in the councils of the Sen
ate.
The Senator took leave of the Wis
consin News correspondent to go to
his seat on the Senate floor, where he
dictated the following statement:
ut is no part of a Senator's bust
ness to be mixing up in primary con-
tests where he is not himself a candi-
date, outside of his own state, and |
have no desire to butt into situation
which may exist in Wisconsin. But,
since you ask the question, reply: If
were a Republican voter in Wiscon-
sin, l should unhesitatingly vote for
La Toilette in this years primaries.
Il would vote for him, though am
frequently in disagreement with him,
because | believe him to be a sincere,
honest and highly intelligent legislat-
or, true to his convictions and serving
a most useful purpose in affording a
coherent and wholly Ineligible ex-
preston of sentiments and principles
economic and other, which are held by
hundreds of thousands of voters, in
La Follette's constituency and else
where, who are fortunate in having sc
forceful spokesman as La Toilette
Il cannot conceive that any
thoughtful state, like Wisconsin, would
for moment dream of surrenderine
the great advantage which La Fol.
lette's prestige and seniority in the
Senate gives to his constituency"

P0CLTRYMEls PROTEST
AT DISCRIMINATION

! We note by the Premium List that
| the County Fair Association discrim-
mates in the matter of poultry prizes
| offered. For entries under the So
| called MEDITERRANEAN and American
classes, an award of $500 is offered
as first premium while in the Asiatic,
| English, French and all other classes,
| but $1.00 is offered. Thus, some of
the best known and among the most
meritorious varieties are given just
half as much as some comparative in
conspicuous kinds. To illustrate ,Brah-
mas, Langshans, OrpingtOns, Sussex,
Houdans, Cochins, and Hamburgs get
$l.0O first prize while Javas, Buck
eyes, Dominiques and Black Spanish
get $500. WHY?
We note that in other departments
this discrimination does not appear.
The first prize on potatoes is $3.50 for
all kinds included in the list on which
prizes are offered. Why not offer $3.50
on Early Rose and 75c on Early Ohios
1t is not for the Fair Association to
say as to which is the, better of the
two varieties, and, while the assacia-
ton has unquestionably the right to
offer any or no prizes at all, we cant
help but believe that the giving to one
exhibitor advantages over another is
bound to cause dissatisfaction.
Among the varieties of poultry long
recognized as the most prolific egg
producers are the Campines, Red Caps,
Hamburgs, Polish and Houdans, and
among the acknowledged excellent ia
BILE fowl are classed the Dorking, Cor
nish, Sussex, Brahmas, Orpingtons
aud Houdans, yet on these only $1.O0
premium is offered, while on Buck
eyes, Silver and Red Pile Leghorns
kinds which are never shown at our
fair, and which are probably not rails
ed in this county the size of the premi-
UNI is doubled. Again, Why?
Our conception of good poultry ex-
hibit is where all kinds are represent
ed and this result can best be secured
by offering prizes on all varieties and
not by offering big prizes on a few
breeds and half as much on others.
