 Munger Cold Toward La Toilette
 It would be d serious mistake fol l the people of America to vote fol Robert NJ. La Toilette for president according to Judge Robert Munger of Ansonia, who sad the present political situation is more serious than at any time since 1S96. "What is the use of changing the admins tration and is it worth whie?' ask cd the Ansonia judge. He said La Toilette comes with a very definite program, but that the voters mus ask themselves, What kind of man is he?"
 "The tragic thing of our lives, continued the judge, is that we can, not get away from our past La Folette's conduct during the late war went almost to the very verge of disloyalty. His record was so bad that on that record alone, his pro- Germanism and objections to con- scription, his friends in Wisconsin defeated him.
