Follette Calls Aldrich Tariff Revision a Farce in Interview
Wisconsin Senator La Follette criticizes the tariff revision as an upward shift from the Dingley rates. He notes committee amendments reduce some duties but leave overall increases, with figures showing selective rises and falls across chemical, cotton, flax, and jute imports. He argues the conference report offers little improvement and that the public will face higher costs.

Illinois primary struck down by state supreme court
Springfield reports the Illinois Supreme Court ruled the statewide primary law unconstitutional, declaring it void and leaving the state without a mechanism to nominate candidates. The decision jeopardizes the validity of recent statewide elections and may prompt a special legislative session to craft a new system, with political bosses and party conventions favored by Chicago leaders.

Pythians 69 to Waupaca in 1910
The Pythian Grand Lodge elevated Vice Grand Chancellor A C Conway of Antigo to Grand Chancellor. Waupaca won the 1910 Wisconsin Knights of Pythias convention by 103 of 120 votes, with other Lodges receiving scattered support. The group debated funding a orphan’s home, a salaried grand lecturer, and a $1 per member assessment to host the conclave in Milwaukee in 1919, with opposition likely to kill these plans.
