Phone 208.— | Wisconsin Scnator Repudiates Party But Does Not Tell What He Will Do. Madison, Wis., July In a signed editorial in his magazine, Senator Robert M. LaFollette repudiates the republican party but does not cate what he will do in the campaign. The editorial says in part: “Popular government cannot endure in this country without an long indi- | aggressive progressive party. The republican and democratic conven- tions just concluded demonstrate that both these parties are completely controlled through political bosses by the great special interests, and that the election of either of their can- didates means a dictatorship of plu- tocracy and political and industrial servitude for the great mass of the people. “Neither of these parties for years has willingly admitted a new or pro- gressive idea into the policies of the national government. They have shamefully deceived and ruthlessly betrayed the voters who have given them power. Having no other pur- pose than to protect the monopoly powers of the great financial interests, which are their interests, they have joined in permitting the merciless exploitation of the people and are rapidly converting the freest and most beneficent government of the world into a tyrannical despotism.” FIND POSSIBLE CLUE An Army Pistol Like One That Killed Elwell, Is Found at Home of Wil- liam Mayhew Washburn.

London, July 23.—Premier Lloyd George today urged the parliamentary committee of the trades union con- gress to help settle the Irish question. He declared the government was not afraid to accept a truce but that it could not permit overt outrages and murders. It was prepared to g0 a long way to letting Ireland manage her own affairs if the necessary as- surance was forthcoming. In the house of commons Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire- land, predicted that the situation would become worse and asked all parties and creeds to support the government, “I regret to say,” he said, “that parliament and the kingdom must brace itself to face a bitter period in Irish history as there will be a de- termined orgarized attempt to estab- lish an Irish republic by means of murder and intimigation.” He asked the house to create a tribunal super- seding civil courts and to empower the lord lieutenant of Ireland to es- tablish a tribunal to deal quickly with all criminal offenses committed in Ireland. Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster unionist leader, after declaring that “in three-quarters of Jreland ,the British government has been entirely beaten,” said: & “Therc ars only two courses open for solution—either surender to the Irish republic or ~ orgapization of forces to insure the government is not beaten again.” He asserted that what he had done in Ulster in the past he would do again. “If I had not done my part,” he said, “Ulster would today be ground down under the heels of mur- derous assassins who now sare mak- ing Ireland infamous in the eyes of the world.” Joseph Devlin, the Irish nationalist, was called to order by the speaker for an attack on Carson. T. P. O’'Connor declared that no- body had done more than Carson to create an extremist party in Ireland and he suggested that it was the Ul- ster movement which turned the va- cillating mind of Germany in favor of war. Carson characterized this as unmitigated lie.” “an 3 You will welcome;'this'temprtihg Cream Nut Bar—plump pecans, topping 2 nugget of maple sugar cream in a rare, rich coat of chocolate. « Foil-wrapped — fl-av-or- r‘hd—:u " Vot PLAINVILLE CASH MARK In New Location, Neri’s Blocl Better Service.
