Trends to Progressivism
InHILIP LaFolette's victory seemed unprotected to
many casual observers of political affairs in Wis
consin. The press commented favorably upon
the efficiency of the busness-like administration
ried by koher. Yet there must be disturbing
factor in the background There must have been a
thorn in the bush somewhere that Phil should walk
off with 100000 vote plurality.
1t has been said that the of LaFolette exerts
a magic over Wsconsintes quite unresistable. Old
fighting Bob is endeared the hearts of his fellow
because of his craftsmanship and political scrup
ulousness He for the people, consistently pro-
gressive.
From election results it may be an indication that
this reaction may be due to unemployment, business
depression, misstep in preceding administrations
that should be sufficient to encourage progressvism
Hunger will bring interest in progressive
IDEAS" said Mrs. Henry Moskowitz in the New York
Telegram two years ago. AS national publicity direct
of the Democratic party Mrs. Moskowitz observed
closely the trends of the nation After the Smith de-
feat for for the presidency she asked by the
for her views of the future administration She re-
piled to the effect that the Hoover administration
would continue its conservative basis until there
was reaction. This she limited might be brought
about by unemployment situation business depres-
sion, msstep in administration of national affairs
which would give the Progressives start more.
Apparently her guess is not amss.
Redwood county has much to be proud of in the
record made during the past the matter of
weed control Nate H. Bovee, our County Agent, has
been untiring in his efforts to make success of the
project and through the splendid cooperation of the
Board of County Commissioners the Township Chair
men and the farmers themselves the county will be
benefited to great degree That the State Board of
Agriculture is of the high character of the
work done here is shown in the fact that Redwood
countys record is held up as example for other
counties to follow.
We needed no further proof of the culinary ability
of our Redwood county than to visit the Main
Building at the Fair Grounds where the cooking and
baking exhibits shown. What display of tooth
some danes that was! In these days of diet faddiss
and calory counters it truly a work of art And
now comes the of Mrs. Friese winning National
recognition along the same line. To be modest and
unassumng, in the face of all that almost too much
to expect Of any community
One of the finest things about the fair is the get
together spirit which is perfectly evident as soon as
opportunity for friends and neighbors to talk over
their problems while they compare their or
failures with the various exhibits. What boon it is
for the former residents who make the occasion for
an annual visit to the old town. 1t becomes not only
an exhibition of progress but public reception as it
were, where one may meet old friends and make new
acquaintance.
