A little breeze In political circles In
Wisconsin has been occasioned by th.
substitution by the Repu blIcan State
Central Committee OF Llewslyn Breese
as the candidate for Secretary Of State
for L. A. Spencer, who was nominated
for the position by the Republican
State Convention. Mr.. Spencer has
been Assistant Secretary OF State dur,
lug the past year. Owing 10 some ar
regularlties" In his Office he was re.
quested by the Committee to withdraw
from his position as the candidate fol
Secretary Of State. He at first com.
piled, and the Committee thereupon
placed Mr.. Breess In nomination. Sub.
seqnently, however, Mr.. Spencer with.
drew his resignation and announced
himself as still a candidate for the
position.

Illinois.
Illinois does not this year elect State
officers, but will elect members Of a
Slate Constitutional Convention. The
Convention will consist OF eIghty-tiye
members, chosen from sixty-one rep.
resentaEiye districts. Partisan politics
ought not to have much influence in
the Convention, unless upon the ques.
ton ofstriking the word "white' from
the clause In relation to the right OF
suffrage. The present House OF Repre-
sentatives consists Of fifty.eight Re.
publlcans and twenty>seven Demo.
Gratis, and as the members Of the
Constitutional Convention are to be
chosen by the representative districts,
these figures may indicate to some ex.
tent the probably complexion OF that
body. although the Democratic papers
claim that they will make gains, and
that the relative strength of the two
parties In the Convention will be about
equal.
On the same day county, municipal
and town elections will be held, the
most Important of these being that In
Chicago, which will then elect new
city government. There are two tick.
cts for city officers In the field, one
claiming TO be the regular Republican
ticket, and the other bearing the title
Of Citizens Reform, and being com>
posed In about equal parts OF Republl.
cans and Democrats. The avowed OBJ
Ject of the Republicans, who are active
In this reform movement, Is to break
up the corrupt "Rlngs" of local poll
ticlansr who have appropriated the ma
chtnery OF the Republican organization
In the city, and are using the power
and influence they have obtained to
their own aggrandIzement and profit,
In a manner similar to that pursued by
Democrats In New York.
MaryIRnd.
Maryland will elect a State Comp
troller, members Of the General AS
sembly, sherlfTS, Surveyors, County
Commissioners and School Commis-
stoners. The Republicans have nomi-
mated Colonel William A. McKellip for
Comptroller, and the Democrats have
nominated Colonel Levin Woolford for
that position. The question Of free rail :
roads enters into the canvass, but will
not probably be OF sufficient influence
to change materially the relative party
as manifested In past years.
The Legislature OF Maryland last
year was wholly Democratic. The vote
for.Governor In 1867 In was: Rep. 81 800,
Dem. 63.eo2-Dem. maj. 4l,7l2. For

Dem. O., S57-Dem. mai. 1913.

State Senate and all the members OF lis
House OF Representatives. Last year
