MAIN ST. PAVING
JOB COMPLETED,
FOURTH IS NEXT

True to the statement made yes
terday by City Engineer Knights,
the Main street paving was finished
this morning, and all that remains
to be done is to allow the pavement
sufficient time to .set, - before the
street is opened to traffic. This will
probably happen tomorrow or Satur-
day ut the latest.
As soon as the Main street paw
ing was finished, the gang of men
engaged in laying it WAS transfer
red to Fourth street, which will be
the scene of their labors for the
next two weeks. The blocks be-
tween State and Orange streets will
be paved first, and the work will be
conducted by stages, so as to inter
fere with traffic as little as poss-
ible.
There was very little delay on
the Main street job and Superinten-
dent Matthias, who has charge of the
work for the David H. Ryan com
pany stated today that the Fourth
street job will be pushed along in
the same manner.
The quick work on Main street
has been the subject of considerable
favorable comment by many citi-
zens, and the splendid condition of
that thoroughfare, according to En-
gineer Knights, is going to cause
them to forget the bad pavement
that has been there for the past
three wears.

Starting life in a log cabin of n
Wisconsin farm, and fighting his
way through most state offices. then
La Toilette reached the climax of
his career when he entered the pres
ldential campaign last year aud poll
ed five million votes against Prcsi-
dent Coolidge and John W. Davis,
Democratic nominee.
lnstigator Of the senatorial Tea
pot Dome investigation, La Fol
lette took up the cndgel to fight
what he believed the corruption in
government. Despite his age, he
stumpcd the country 10 the rim of
the middle west. lie did not live To
see the legal outcome of the scusa-
tional oil battle.
Stripped of Honors
His strenuous efforts brouell
him but II electoral votes from his
home state and the day after cleo
tion found him weak ~ health.
Politics next stripped him of all
the honors of his. long political ser
vice. First, he was ousted from the
Republican party of the senate by
a vote of his party caucus, then he
was shorn of his seniority honors,
dropped as chairman of the manu-
facturers committee, his clerks
were taken from him; he was forced
to give up his offices in the senate
office building aud take an mdesir-
ed office like a 4 newly elected
senator.
He came back TO take his place
fighting in the ranks Just as he had
fought for 40 years. 1t was almost
like the war days when he was the
lone man of the senate ''-ostraci2-
ed and denounced because of his op-
position to the United States en-.
trance into the war.
La Toilette went to Palm Beach
last winter and came back this
spring tanned and feeling much bet
ter, although it was apparent that
he had not fully recovered. The
strenuousness of his career dug deep
lines into the face which only the
final rest could erase.
During the two years of congress
closed last March, La Toilette WELD
ed the dominating influence upon
important legislation. With his
little group of followers in the
house and senate, he held the bal
ance of power between Republicans
and Democrats. Whichever of the
two parties he aligned his forces
with, was assured of majority.
