Editorial Comment
Wisconsin, a Political Anomaly
Duluth lIerald)

Robert Marion La Toilette, Jr. is United States
senator from Wisconsin, succeeding the late Robert
Marion La Follette ST. He by vote that is
twice great that of all his four opponents put
together. and two and half times that of his lead
ing opponent Mr.. Dthmar.
That is pretty smashing victory, and it leaves
Wisconsin's political state of mind pretty definite.
La Fclletteism has survived La Toilette There is
enough vitality in it yet though its creator, builder
and leader has gone. to give the younger La FC.lettc
sweeping victory his father could have won.
1t is true that the vote was light, something less
than half vote, and it might be that if the minds
of those who stayed away from the polls could be
analysed "a different condition would develop. But
probably not Probably if all the voters had gone
to the polls the outcome would not have been much
different.
And anyway. Analysing the mind of citizen who
won't take the trouble to get out to vote when an
important election is in progress isn't hopeful
tcrprise.
1t is too much like trying to build house out OF
sand, or castle out of seafoam.
Wisconsin,. plainly, wants what, young Mr.. La
Toilette represents--whatever. precisely. that may
be. And of Wisconsin has perfect right
this being country, to vote for and get wha!
it wants.
1t leaves Wisconsin in an interesting situation
politically
1t has Democratic party, for its Democratic
candidate couldn't get enough votes in the primary
election to qualify, and he had to indie
pendent.
1t has no Republican party, for La Toilette, man
ager of an anti-Republican presidential ticket onl,
last year, got the Republican nomination and now
goes to the senate or less proudly bearing a
Republican label.
1t has Socialist party, but it seems to be only
shell. The Socialist candidate though he was the
only correctly labeled candidate in the field, was
only shadow in the contest, getting only about 4
dozen thousand votes altogether.
Wisconsin has for years been just plain La Fol
lete territory. Now with the man who made it sc
gone and only a young son to bear his banner, il
remains what it was-just plain La Toilette terri
tory, political atmosphere utterly detached from
the of the country and with utterly relation
to the political minds and conditions of the rest OF
the states
But that is the way Wisconsin wants it to be
and, this being free country, Wisconsin has
perfect right to have it as it wants it to be.

The Wisconsin Election

Very conclusive returns of Wednesdays special
election in Wisconsin, in which Senator elect Robert
NJ. La Toilette carried 70 of II counties in the
state, postpone indefinitely all hope for a political
realignment in the La Toilette stronghold within
the near future. The demoralizng defeat of the
right wing of the G. O. p. is doubly significant in
that it forecasts continued victories progressive
forces in the 1926 primaries and elections.
The strategy of Coolidge Republicans in the re,
cent contest to capture the seat in the Senate
vacated by the death Of the late Robert NJ. La Fol
lette. dead progressive cheftain.
Having accomplished that objective, the regular
G.. 0. p. forces would be in a good position
elect Senator Irvine E. Lenroot and capture tbs
governorship next year.
The progressive plan of battle hinged on the
election of Young Bob to succeed his father in the
Senate. Governor John J. Blaine elected to three
terms as executive, would make the for the
Senate in 1926 and Attorney General Herman
Ekern would be Blaine's running mate in the con-
test for governor. Both Blaine and Ekern
skilled politicians who have strong personal follow
ings in Wisconsin. Ekern is able lawyer, and is
frequently referred to as the "brains' of the pro
Sressive movement with the death Of the elder I.l
Toilette
The fate of the c. O. p in Wisconsin is at crisis
With scarcely year to prepare for the 1926 cam
paign, Coolidge Republicans demoralized and in
full rout On the other hand, the progressive party,
reinforced by Wednesdays landslide victory, looks
forward with full confidence to victory at the pri-
maries and at the polls next year.
While the situation is critical, the Republican
cause is far from lost in Wisconsin, It is probably
true that G. o. p. forces have a more favorable
chance to crush La Toilette next year than in the
special Senatorial elections. The death of the
elder La Toilette found Coolidge Republicans to
tally unprepared to wage Senatorial campaign
The advantage lay entirely with the other side
The significance of Wednesdays election no:
the G. O. p. defeat but the magnitude of that de
feat.
Republicans will be better organized in the 1926
campaign They unite sodly behind Senator
Lenroot, who will make strong against Gov
ernor Blaine. Lack of harmony in G. o. =. circles
during the recent campaign was all too evident. Ii
remains for the Republicans to look around care
fully for opponent equal to Attorney General
Ekern in the gubernatorial In spite of the
admitted strength of the Blaine Ekern combination.
Coolidge Republicans, by organizing effective
campaign, turn the tide in the Badger state.
More teamwork more leadership. and hard work
necessary. 1t can be done. Now is the time to
act. With Il year in which perfect its organiza-
ton. the G. O. p profit by mistakes Of the last
campaign.

The Farmer Works
(SOuth Bend Tribune)


In the picturesque struggle between the ndi-
vdual and the corporation for industrial supremacy
the farmer is of the few of the former class
who is successfully standing his ground. Organized
enterprise, the modern economic giant, has swa
lowed whole many individual manufacturers and
other producers but the farmer has demonstrated
that he is than its equal
The idea that the farmer is a slipshod business
man is delusion according to W. |. Myers, profes
of farm finances of Cornell university. The
American farmer he says is the most efficient food
producer that the world has known. The de-
in the proportion of workers engaged in ag-
rculture from 81 per cent in 1920 to 26 per cent in
1920 is concrete expression of this efficiency In
spite of this decrease in the proportion OF workers
engaged in agriculture American farmers produce
enough food for the nation and large surplus for
export
This is one reason why the corporation, which
has made individual enterprise practical impos-
sbility in many industrial fields has never been
able to overcome the farmer, who is more efficient
than the large-scaie producer Perhaps the great
est single reason for this showing by the farmer
is that the farm the proprietor and his family
work as hard as or harder than the employees.

Those of you who have had exper-

that chicken forms one of the early
items in the menu of the GONZALES

There is reason for this. A great
portion of the chicken is actually
digested and taken up as food by
the cells of the body. Furthermore,
chicken is easily digested.
For those who have delicate d.
gestion, or an appetite that needs
encouraging, a young pigeon or a
squad may be prescribed as deli
cacy. ..
SQUAD is. Of course, expensive, but
it is certainly easy to eat and is as
easily assimilated.
You should know that adult pig
cons which have been we'll fattened,
and have not been allowed to fly, are
almost as palatable as squad and
