LaFollette and His Wall Street Allies There are at least some of the Wisconsin newspapers and some of theWisconsin people who are not to be dragged at the LaFollette chariot wheels at the pleasure of the Socialist candidate for the presidency. Among the newspa- pers may be enumerated the Me- momonee Falls News. From its columns we take the’ following, which has the proper ring of Wis- consin Republicanism, of the day before the curse of LaFollettism _ fell upon the people: Senator LaFollette has defi- nitely allied himself and his campaign with the worst of the redatory interests” of Wall street. At the very heart and citadel of Wall street, in the inner sanctuary, spe SB the Altar, stand the sugar refining com- panies. So closely connected are they with the largest bank- ing interests there, those inter- ests that Senator Latollette has so often thundered ‘inst, that if you hit one you are certain to get a cry from the other. So intimately connected are these two Wall street interests that hardly a printed circular market letter of a prominent New York national bank is is- sued ‘but what it mentions something about Cuban sugar. is ‘secret that during cin Ci Sr pected ‘with: Walt street fail hundreds of ‘millions st worth of Cuban suga: prope tries foll into the, bande: of Wall street banks and since the financial. skies have cleared- “have been allotted to stronger hands” as théir circular letter states. In plain language they have been turned over to the New York refining interests at bargain price: e* An investigation will disclose that 75 to 90 per cent of the sugar produced in Cuba belongs outright or is controlled by thi centering aroun the Holy of Ho! street. No other single interest has so much of the capital of Wall street.

H. WASHINGTON, Sept, 24. —Whether the Volstead act and the eighteenth amend- ment apply jointly or sep- arately to the Philippine islands, is a question which the federal courts ultimately _ will have to pass upon. The Philippine department of just'ce has given its opinion that neither the law nor the amendment applies to the islands, while the department of justice in Washington contends that the amendment prohibits the carriage of I'quor for beverage purposes by ship Additional information of great interest with reference to the “A.

Stafford, sec- retary of the Casper Chamber ‘f Commerce. ‘The information comes from Mr. and Mrs. A.
