••| 'is Robert M. La Follette's
.%■ J characterization of Governor
Hiram W. Johnson's and Glf
ford Plnchot's explanations of their flop
from La Follette to Roosevelt.
The Wisconsin man flatly denies the
•suggestions made in the formal state
ment published by Governor Johnson
last week. In that statement the gov
ernor suggested, if he did not directly
declare, that he switched from La Fol
lette to Roosevelt after La Follette had
been withdrawn by Houser. •
La Follette says that Johnson told
him that he purposed to leave him not
because of anything alleged to have
been given out by La Follette's man
ager, but because he believed that La
Follette could not win and Roosevelt
could. La Follette also says that John
son went further, in that he frankly
said he would not attempt to sneak out
of La Follette's fight under the pre
tense that anything given out by La
Follette's managers warranted such
■-nurse. Without the use of the "shorter
and uglier word" there could not be a
more direct jointure of the* issue lof
veracity as between himself and the
governor of California than that raised
yesterday by La Follette. The Wiscon
sin man paid his respects to his erst
while friends and accepted the gauge of
battle in California through a telegram
to Rudolph Spreckels. Here is the text

Necessity Is Master Now
And Not Desire
Copyright 1912
Easter has come and gone. \
-' ] x -y°,/ -. .:■ .' "' f " . --•'■.
Last week's desires are this week's necessities. What you wanted
then, you must have now.
To wear your old suitor old hat any longer, is a travesty on spring.
What you pay in dollars for new:clothes is not half what you will pay in
pride for continuing in your old ones.
It is wise woman who knows how to turn an old ' suit into a new one,
but it is a wiser woman who knows hen to give up trying.
You haven't a million years either in which to look your best. Remember
that. A man can go in. for purple ties and lavender socks till he slides clear
into the toothless age of liquid foods and dodders along on. a crutch. But a
woman has to be able live up to her colors every day her life. :
If you have already made yourself ready for spring, then* comes, your
home. We go over our own apparel four times a year, but. the things that
our house has to wear, we go over once.
And every home is a photograph of the lives within it.
There is furniture to be fixed and furniture to be bought. There are
rugs to be bought and rugs to be cleaned. Walls get soiled and wall paper
grows stale. Of course, if you have treated your home like a mausoleum it
would spoil the picture to change it, at the house that has been lived in for
a year,?is certainly ready for repairs. ,
A part of this paper today has been published :to help you and your
home. While the editorial department has been securing the general news
of the world, the business department has been gathering together the . ad
vertising news the stores.
Every merchant in this city who has something important to say to you
is publishing his news here for your benefit. He knows that his news must
be as interesting as any other news in the paper or you. will not read it. He
knows that it must benefit you or it will not profit him.
And every business of merit is represented here. -• ■
Learn to read the advertising as carefullly as you do any other news.
Out of this paper today you can buy everything you need for yourself your
family and your home, and buy it all to the very best advantage- both foi
quality and price. ,
In this 20th century, the advertiser is as keen as the reporter. Th this
business;-, no news is had news. So he sees that the best of everything is
placed before your eyes.

From- high authority,* however, it can
be stated that General Grant did feel

that he had the same ' affection his
