THE WISCONSIN MIND

Senator LaFOllette's telegram
withdrawing his name from the
ballot in the Republican primary
of North Dakota has set the Wash
ington quidnuncs wondering what
he intends to do Various oracular
gentlemen vino profess to be ia
miliar with the mind" OF the Wis
Gonsin Senator declare that his ac
ton foreshadows u determination
to lead a third party. But it is
dangerous to be sure that you have
found bottom in exploring the
depths of that mighty mind. Still.
two things seem to be pretty well
established by the language of Sen
ator LaFollette's telegram. He is
under no illusion about what is
going to happen Vat the Cleveland
Convention. He already detects
the approach of the steam-roller
which has twice fattened him, and
which he fully expects to run over
him again, despite the fact that
Wisconsin will send strong dele
CATION of Progressive republicans
to the National Convention to fight
for fundamental principles This
makes it certain that he will not
head a third party until after he
has bolted the Republican nomina-
ton. But We know that in years
past Mr.. LaFollette has been better
at sulking than at boiling.
The other implication in the
Senator's telegram is yet more
significant. He will not run in the
North Dakota primary because it
has always been his rule not to
ask his friends to fight for him
when | am unable to do my share
of the fighting" He refuses to
permit his name to stand in a cam
pagn where he cannot personally
argue the issues before the people.
Now, if this is fundamental
principle" with Senator LaFOllette,
it will pretty surely debar him
from making a campaign this year
for the third party or any other.
1t is known that he is not physic-
ally up to that work which he al
ways makes so arduous. If he
were to essay it, breakdown
would almost inevitably be the re-
suit. Hence the strong probability
is that he will continue at Wash
ingtOn to make as much trouble as
he can, and later in the Summer
to go off to recuperate rather than
to bolt.
1t has not been overlooked that
Senator LaFollette's chief lieuten-
ant in e.thess4Iouse, Representative
Frear, was full of threats of revolt
until the final test came, when,
amid the jeers and groans of the
Democrats with whom he had been
aching, he meekly voted with the
regular Republicans. This was a
most instructive hint as to the pro-
per way to read the Wisconsin RE
publican mind.-New York Times.

body to blame. When he reaches
that stage with his shoulders
thrown back, his legs straight and

a subject of investigation.

that cynical but useful French
maxim, "chercheZ la famine"

think it likely the "power at home

Mexico may let the United States
