elected Chairman. Jeremiah NJ. Rusl was re-
nominated for Governor by reclamation, the
delegates rising from their seats and giving
loud cheers. The Governor was led 10 the
chamber. and returned thanks amid great en-
thusiasm. George w. Ryland was nominated
for Northumberland and Ernst q. Timme
was renOminated for Secretary of State by
clamation. After a hard struggle Col Ii. Ii.
Harshaw, Of Oshkosh, was nominated for State
Treasurer.
The platform. in dealing with the labor ques-
tion, says that the Republicans of Wisconsin
recognize the right of workingmen TO organ
ize for mutual protection, but says such organ
izations should be voluntary, and not extended
by employing threats or violence; favOrs arbi-
tration in the settlement of disputes between
wOrkingmen and their employers, and con-
| dennis resort to mob violence. On the liquor
question the platform says: I'VE recognize the
fact that statute regulations which are not sup
| ported by public opinion are imperative, and
tend TO bring all law into disrepute. and we
| believe that in the present condition OF public
| sentiment the existing laws of this State
! which permit communities, according 10 tho
sentiment prevailing in them, TO prohibit tho
traffic in intoxicating liquors, or TO control it
| by police regulations and TO limit it by high
license, offers the best and most practical means
Of dealing with the evils resulting from the
| liquor traffic"
Gov. Rusk made himself very popular among
the order-loving people OF all classes in Wis
consin by the summary manner in which he
dealt with the Anarchists when they resorted
TO violence in Milwaukee. 1t is believed that
he will be elected by largely increased ma
jority.
