The question of removing Prof
Bascom from his position as president
of the University at Madison, is being
talked up seriously among politicians.
His advocacy Of prohibition principles
and the necessity Of organizing a
political party to maintain them, is
what calls forth this bitter feeling
against him. The president is an able
citizen and sees the necessity of such
a move on the part of the moral ele-
ment Of the state. As his position is
not a political one, we cannot see what
can be gained by an attempt to remove
him. On the contrary, we believe
that such a move will prove detriment-
al to the interests of the party
responsible for it. Nothing can be
gained, in our judgment, for the re-
publican party in this state by making
war upon Prof. Bascom. He is
entitled to freedom in his political
opinions and if he chooses to throw
his influence with the prohibitionists
it is his privilege.
