false impression" he declared that the visitor "could lay no claim to the
right of preaching cither morality religion or ci"lc righteousness."

While the exact nature of the' ma-

had been reported as strongly in favor
of vindicating secretary Ballinger are

Wilwaukee Wis. Sept. 7. Senator
Robert M. LaFollette carried Wiscon-
sin at yesterday's primary election by
a 40000
majority ov
Samuel A.
Cook of Neenah. The figures will
not be completed for a day or two. but
i..
in this county alone the senators
plurality will easily go beyond 8000.
There is no doubt but that LaFollette
will have control of the platform con-
vention at Madison and have the next
legislature back of him insuring his re-
election. LaFollette ran 20000 ahead of his
So big- was his vote that it carried
with it a large majority of the legisla-
tive nominees. The LaFoUette state
ticket headed by - rancis E. McGovern
was also nominated. All "insurgent"
congressmen were renominated "and
added to their strength the nomination
of Henry C. Cochems a former "Wiscon-
sin university football star who de-
feated Stafford for renomination in Che
Fifth district.
Cochems is the man who placed La-
Follette In nomination for the presi-
dency at the last Republican national
convention.
Congressman Cbas. H. ise Demo-
crat easily defeated Burt TVilliams for
the Democratic nomination for United
States senator. "r'
Francis E. McGovern candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial nomin-
ation defeated his four opponents by a
plurality estimated at S000 votes. Mc?
Govern's nomination Is a defeat for
county option the main plank on which
candidate Lewis stood. Fairchild who
finished second .was. ' also against
county option. McGovern's victory is
looked upon as a victory for LaFollette
as he advocated 'the senator's renom-
ination in all his speeches.
McGovern won fameias the anti-graft
district attorney of Milwaukee.
There Is now a certainty that county
option has been defeated by'a big ma-
jority for both the candidates now in
the lead are opposed to county option
though McGovern Is the LaFollette sup-
porter and Fairchild figures as a sup-
porter of the Taft administration.

the lines of national control as favored
b3 Col. Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot.
A number of addresses were on to-
day's program.
When the crendentials committee
meets this evening there probably will
be two chairmen present Edward- H.
Hinos a Chicago lumberman whose ap-
pointment as chairman was opposed by
the Illinois delegation because of gos-
sip connecting his name with money
alleged to have figured in the election
of senator Lonmer and G. E. Condra
of the university of Nebraska.
"I understood that Mr. Hines did not
want the place" said president Baker
of the congress "so I appointed Mr.

Hines. "I was regularly appointed! and
have not been asked by president Baker
to relinquish the place."

Dissatisfaction over the failure to

tried to put forth a cheerful front but
it was an effort almost close to failure.
Governor Norris is particularly bitter
in his denunciation.
"Why" he said "we could not break
into that meeting now with a burglar's
jimmy."
Governor Norris is a Democrat. It
was he who made tne "fighting speech"
before the congress which' really
brought on the clash with governor

day with the award of the international
court of arbitration largely in favor of
the United States.
The American government is sus-
tained on five of the seven points raised
and Great Britain wins on points oae
and five.
Point lire has been held by the Eng-
lishmen as the most important of those
submitted. It involves the three mile
limit. United States fishermen claimed
the right to take the measnre from any
part of the British Xorth AKaerican
shore and therefore claimed they -were
at liberty to fish in the middle of any
Canadian bay or estuary having a ra-
dius of more than three miles. British
contention was that the limit should he
