What everybody want to know now la what It means. REGULAR Republicans think It means the overthrow of the pro gressive movement that has caused so much trouble In the party ranks In recent years. This movement grew up pretty largely around the elder La Toilette. Republican regulars argue hope fully that the La Follette defeat means that the voters are disgusted with the so-called progressives. They figure that If this Is true In Wisconsin, as might be Indicated by the vote on Tuesday, it will oe true elsewhere. , erHE Democrats, of course, are gleeful not because they hold any grudge against the progressives, with which the La Follette organi sation waa aligned. The contrary la true. The progressive .have been quite useful to the Democrats In recent years. But the Democrats see In the La Follette defeat In Wisconsin a ten dency to vote the Ins out and the outs In. The Republicans sre In and the Democrats are out. So It is natural that the Demo crata should be pleased with the Wisconsin results. IN Iowa last spring, Senator Brook hart, an out and out radical and a rattlebrain to boot, wu defeated for renomlnatlon by Henry Field, a southern Iowa seed merchant with a reputation for having a level head. Governor La Follette Is defested for renomlnatlon In Wisconsin by a conservative manufacturer w,ho ran on an ultra-conservative platform, and the La Follette candidate for senator was defeated by another conservative. These events might be taken as indicating that the voters are tired of what haa been termed progresslv ism In politics and are swinging away from It. ftUT In Georgia last week Repre sentative Crisp, Democratic house leader and chairman of the ways and means committee, a solid statesman and one who could be classed only as a conservative, was defeated, by Governor Russell, who ran on a typical swashbuckling anti- Wall Street platform. And we should not forget the de feat of Congressman Hawley here In Oregon last May, N Wisconsin and,- In Iowa pro- gresslves, or radicals, or liberals whatever one chooses to call ttherri were defeated by conservatives. But In Georgia and In Oregon conserva tlves were defeated by men who ran on more radical platforms. N this writer's Judgment, voters are paying little attention to theories In politics, but are simply expressing' their discontent with ex isting conditions by swatting the Ins at every opportunity. That, as has been stated here be fore, Is no new development In pol itics. It la an ancient maxim of rulershlp that when the populace la well fed it la happy and contented. but when It has an empty stomach It la discontented and 'restive. History la merely repeating Itself. "pHIS fact, .however, la at least worth some thought: The La Follette politic, which have been rated as distinctly radi cal, have not brought to Wisconsin such prosperity as to make people contented and happy. On the con trary, conditions In Wisconsin ap pear to have been quite similar to conditions everywhere else. At any rate, they have ' been such as to cause the voters to throw the Ins out and put outa in. In other words, politics has much less to do with prosperity than the politicians wculd have us believe. Harold Grey and Floyd House re turned to Medford last evening from the Mt. PHt district, bringing home a large three-point buck. They had been In the mountains two days. Another successful hunter return ing Friday was Frank Ovelman, who returned from Laaeview with a four point mule tail buck. He stated that hunters mere having little success. due to the dry conditions of the for eat.

Republican primary nominee for county Judge, In a cam paign speech at Lake Creek last Wednesday night, spoke to an audi ence of 15 people, nine of whom signed the nominating petitions of C. E. Gates for county Judge, ac cording to Lloyd Damon of that sec tion, who counted noses and circu lated the Gates petition at the meet ing. Damon says there were 30 people outside the hall, visiting and discussing the problems of the day, among themselves. Thomas R. Farlow, pioneer stock man of the dlstrcit, attended the meeting and said, "There were a few more than a dozen In the hall," and tfiat he declined the offer to be chairman of the meeting. Farlow said "Quite a bunch of the boys were outside." At a primary meeting held by Fehl In the Lake Creek district last spring, close to 300 people heard him flay Vie "ins," allege "injustice," and ap peal for sympathy. The change in sentiment in the Lake Creek district is viewed as typical of the entire rural section of the county and a sign that the voters have become weary of the "political revolution, and "collapse of Justice1 talk. There has been a noticeable "soft- pedalling" the past ten days, of well known and oft-told charges, reflect ing on county officials and particu larly in the Judge Norton recall plot. Fehl In his Lake Creek speech, de voted himself chiefly to "My policies If elected county Judge." In his three previous speeches he hurled allegations at Judge Norton. Gen eral public revulsion to the father less recall scheme, Is widespread, Fehl in Medford speeches, boasted he had signed the recall petition, and urged others to follow suit. Fehl also declared In his last Medford talk, that he would not support the national head of the Republican ticket in November. Circulators of the recall petitions were still circulating the past we' k. A woman, seeking names on the pe titions at Ashland, Informed the Ashland Tidings, that she .had se cured 93 names, after two weeks work. A newspaper solicitor visited the Foots Creek d strict Tuesday, and soxight subscriptions and signa tures, and attacked Judge Norton As far as known there are only a half dozen circulators, a majority being "disgruntled litigants," or kin to defendants who received adverse decisions in the circuit court. PETITIONS FILED At five o'clock Friday evening, pe titions were filed with the city re corder, Mose Alford. by Frederick W. Heath for councilman of the fourth ward, and Dr. J. M. Keene, for mayor.

Mr. Heath will be the only candidate for that ward In the November election, as Mines closed Friday. Approximately two hundred names appeared on the petitions presented by Dr. Keene, who will oppose B. M. Wilson, incumbent, in the fall con test. 4 WASHINGTON, Brpt. 24.

A resolution, favoring the construc tion of a highway from the city of Ashland, south to the California line, was adopted by the Jackson county court Saturday afternoon, and a copy was forwarded to the Oregon state highway commission. The document stated that the pe titions 'sent to the commission by a group of Ashland residents opposing the expenditure of over $400,000 of federal money, did "not represent any considerable group of the people of southern Oregon." The petitions, signed by nearly 600 residents or the Ashland district, stated that the ex penditure was not practical, and would result In an Increase of taxes. It also pointed out that the proposed route would not be as practical as the present highway. The court's resolution also stated that "the signatures on said remon strance were obtained on the basts of a false premise contained In the said petition Itself, aa well as the mistaken Idea that the old route of the Pacific highway was as feasible and practical as the new propsed route." v "The action of the state highway commission In allotlng and com mencing work on the realignment of the Pacific highway between the city of Ashland and the California' line, be endorsed and commended, and It is hereby represented by said Jackson county court that the overwhelming sentiment of the people of southern Oregon m well as the sentiment of all of the communities along aald Pacific highway," is In favor of elim inating the harzards of the old high way, and the dangers to life and property, the resolution read.
