The claim is made that the manner in

aat the Democrats are taking no unfair
Tvantages They simply desire that

nblieansare doing this, hence the Lem
sratic position is one ol defense, rath

a discussion followed as to the merits
and demerits of either title.
Mr. Nash advised his client to bid on

La Follette Masquerading in Mr. Nash's
Political Clothes.
INTERESTING K 1 U)ING FOR THE GOVERNOR.
The Gist of the Whole Primary Election
Problem Emenated Nut in Madison
But in Manitowoc.
Lyman J. Nr h was in Milwaukee
last Saturdav and after transacting
some hnsin strolled into the office of
Pension Agent Coe. While there he
met William F. Hooker the Milwaukee
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
, < )ecan and the two got into a discussion
; of the primary election que-Tioii, seem
ingly from the following excerpt from
the Intei'-t Venn, Mr. Nash made the
claim that not M r. La Follette out he Mr.
Na hi originated and sprung the primary
| election reform Here follows Mr.
| Hooker's version of the Nash-Hooker
| confab; - fudge Lyman J. Nash of
I Manitowoc, who was in the city a day
1 or two ago. informed the correspondent
S of The Inter < Venn that he took up the
! question of a primary election law a
[ great many years ago. and became a
I pamphleteer on the subject. Judge
Nash has neve: been a politician in the
sense of being an office seeker or an of
| lice-holder beyond holding the position
,o. judge. He is still a strong advocate
i of a primary election law. and says that,
so fur as Gov. La Follette is concerned,
there is nothing new in the proposition.
; It is, in fact, a tiling which originated in
: the ranks of Democrats. His ideas, he
| says, are almost identical with those
t recommended the past year or two hv
i , . .
La Follette. and were incorporated in
La Follette's now famous Ann Arbor
address and his campaign speeches.
Many of the suggestions made hv La
Follette are identical with those pro
posed in the pamphlet issued by Nash
years ago, and this pamphlet, together
with a hill drawn as a mere suggestion
by Nash, was distributed throughout
the state, every newspaper receiving
one.
"A great many people will ask if it i
not possible that La FuJletle is mas(|uer
ading in borrowed finery and borrow
ed from the Democrats at that. It G
not understood, however, that La Fol
lette wished to carry the idea, that he j
the originator of the primary election |
law. although many of the things eon
neeted with the so-called reform are
supposed to have originated with the,
governor.
■ ITie primary election question grew
to be a hobby with Judge Nash hut. al
though he defended it vigorously ii met
with such violent opposition from tin
Republican newspapers that he tinalh
gave it up. and nothing more was heaid
of it. and it was quite forgotten until
La LTdlette chose it as one of the -prin
ciph s on which lie would make a reform
canvass for the governorship. Stalwarts
are preparing to show that some of the
men who are now advocating a primary
law were the most vigorous opponents
of the same thing when its discussion
was introduced into the state b\ Judge
Nash.
