IHTHAT sort of a politician is this La Toilette any

He controls the republican party in Wisconsin He can
put his electors the republican ticket and force
Coolidge to in the independent column and this is
just what any of the old party losses would do for
with such, the end justfes the means, matter how
unfair disreputable the latter may be. And
This nominee Fighting Bob" notifies the republican
national committee that his Wisconsin convention will
put the ticket straight-ou Coolidge men, while the
La Toilette electors will independent ticket!
Why? Because Bob La Toilette fights square and is
true republican. If he put his the Wisconsin
ticket Coolidge would have show whatever La Fol-
lete makes fight republican regularity when that
regularity is truly republican and he believes in giving
the people chance to fully express themselves.
