Not only did the majority of’ the
executive committee give out this
statement, but it went further. Some
of the members placed advertisements
at their own expense in the Wiscon
sin papers today demanding that the
voters send Lenroot back to the Sen
ate in the interest of beer. Let the
drys take note of that. The adver
tisement. reads, in part; "Get beer
back with Lenroot.”
It insists that Lenroot, an influen
tial Senator of long service, can be
far more effective in winning votes
to the wet cause than could Gov.
Rlaine if he were sent to Washington,
an untried Senator. But what the
wets want to know is. how much can
they depend on Lenroot, who orig
adults, snakes soon lose the aggres
siveness they display In a wild state,
where they are compelled to keep on
the alert.
The sluggishness of all the reptiles
now at t lie 7,00. attendants say. shows
the tendency of all living creatures,
even men. to leave well enough alone.
No animal is Inclined to stir about
and fight if he doesn’t have to.
After a few weeks In a glass cage,
with his meals brought to him regu
larly, the snake soon comes to the
conclusion that moving about is a
useless waste of energy. He has
no highly organized nervous system,
like higher animals, which impels
him to stir. It is much more com
fortable to curl up and doze all day
in a warm cage than to writhe about
for the amusement of strange, two
legged creatures who are too big to
eat anyway.
