come together, but it is not only pcs
sible but extremely probable in the
face of past political history in Wis
consin. True representative govern
ment has disappeared from the state
and the taxpayers are paying the
bill.
1t cost $12,249.15 to conduct the
Attorney Generals department in
the year 1906. 1t cost 3,25105 to
conduct this same department under
Herman L. Ekern in 1924; in other
words, the cost advanced nearly six
times. The increasing cost may be
entirely explainable but the fact that
while most costs have advanced not
more than double Everything,
wages to beefsteak-yet almost any
board or commission connected with
state affairs has advanced in cost
anywhere from five to ten times,
over this period of progress "
The people have allowed thenl-
selves to be deprived of their rights
thru the workings of a political ma.
chine that permits the politician tc
tell the people his platform after ne
has been nominated, instead of be-
fore. The cure lies in convention
that shall be held 80 days before the
Primary; a convention composed of
delegates selected by the people
themselves thru their county organi-
cations; a convention that shall pro-
mitigate state platform upon which
candidates must stand; convention
that will select those candidates, not
because of their political available
ity, but because of their ability as
executives capable of conducting
state affairs. Nothing in this pro-
gram interferes with the Primary,
but it gives a chance for the people
to express themselves. Let the Peo-
pie Rule!

State, has been making speeches
around the state declaring, among
ether things, cit (the tax law is
too big and too important a subject
to be made a political football to be
buffeted back and forth to enable a
resigning politician to steal po-
litical goal" and 'The people de-
manded that our income tax law be
reformed; the (Blaine) has DE-
FORMED it." "Wisconsin is now
collecting more than twice as much
revenue from business enterprises
as Illinois is receiving from the same
source, altho the population of Il
linois is 21a times that of Wisconsin
and its wealth is more than four
times as great.
All of these gentlemen spent more
or less time last fall in an effort to
discredit and defeat the Republican
Party and when the people of the
state wished to know, thru the
Titus Resolution, how much time
they and their subordinates spend
and at whose expense, Lieut.. Gov.
Henry A. Huber, Progressive, cast
the deciding vote in the Senate
which prevented the people receiv-
ing the information asked for.
Blaine has been accused of egging
on the Smith investigation of Ekern,
and whether correct or not, he GER
tainly hasn't lost any sleep in trying
to prevent it. In the face of all
these charges and Investigations it
would seem impossible that these

A contributor to the Spring Val
ley Sun calls attention to the re-
markable record of Mrs. ]. B. Smith
of that village, who, at the age of
eighty has, during the past six
months, cut out and pieced II quilt
tops, all by hand, seven of the tops
being of the '1og cabin" design.
During that six months she was laid
up for three weeks from injuries re-
ceived in a fall, and except for six
weeks during convalescence from
this accident she has done all of her
homework, including washing and
ironing. The contributor asks:
Can anyone go Mrs. Smith one bet

POLITICAL TEAM" CHOSEN
FOR 1926 CAMPAIGN

The so-called Progressives have
been quarreling, but dispatch
from Washington, published June
IL, states that the LaFollette whip
has been cracked and the official
slate for 1926 will be Blaine for
United States Senator; Ekern for
Governor; Huber for Lieut.. Cover
nor; Harry Sauthoff for Attorney
General; zimmerman for Secretary
of State, and Levitan for Treasurer.
This may be rumor or it may be
history repeating itself because the
crack Of the whip has been the his
tory of the past.
In view of the fact that there
may be more truth than fiction to
this dispatch, the situation should be
analgzed. Severson has succeeded
finally in securing halfway inves-
tigation of affairs, moral and finan-
cial, at Madison. Insurance Com
missioner Stanley Smith, a Blaine
Progressive, has succeeded in secur
ing an investigation Of Attorney
General H. L. Ekern. He asserts
that Ekern received certain fees
arom certain insurance companies
and that as Attorney General he
could not act for these insurance
companies and for the state of
Wisconsin at one and the same
time.
