did not know the extra session
was loaded.
Milwaukee Journal: The organ
says that every republican that
opposes Upham has grievance of
his own. What lot Of mistakes
the governor must have made.
Manitowoc Press, Rep. 1t
appears to The Press that the Re-
publican party cannot in justice to
itself go before the people with
Gov. Upham as its candidate
again.
Madison Journal: We believe
Gov. Upham has never vetoed a
bill that passed, but the members
of the legislature say that he
came pretty near vetolng one last
Saturday that hadn't passed.
Ashland News: Upham is in
dulging in frantic efforts to make
1.-The extra session" element keep
off the grass and curses the day
when in his weakness he brought
the vicious animal into the capital
grounds.
Glenwood Tribune: Gov. Up
ham will probably not be
renominated. The republicans OF
Wisconsin are fast finding out that
it is a social crime to spoil good
citizen by making him an indiffer-
ent governor.
Milwaukee News: Gov. Up
hams administration has finally
got rotten enough to command the
editorial support Of the Sentinel
for a denomination for the Marsh
field statesman. The Sentinel's
attitude is prima facia evidence of
the rottenness Of the administra-
ton
Racine Journal: Before con-
vention time rolls around Gov.
Upham may learn that the office
holders who make P;lgrimages to
the capital about pay day time
were not duly accredited repre-
sentatives Of the republicans in
their district on matters relating to
a second term.
Meanwhile, Gov. Upham goes
right along being governor and
will probably continue to do SO to
the end of the chapter.-Green
Bay Gazette, Rep.
The Gazette does not appear to
understand that it is the next
chapter that the people are talking
about now.
Wausau Record: 1t is reported
that the governor will have some
thing to say about the bill after it
passes. He should remember that
short session was promised and
a short session will be a heap
more pleasant than an address
from the governor on the subject
of Nils P. Haugen's influence with
the legislature.
Ashland Press: The Sentinel,
with characteristic enterprise, has
interviewed the members Of the
general assembly on the guberna-
torial question. Although the
legislators are guarded in their
answers, it is plain that there is
considerable opposition to Gov.
Upham, but no organized efforts
to defeat him.
Wausau Record: The Record
would like to know whether the
numerous gentlemen interviewed
by Sentinel reporter at Madison,
and who expressed themselves as
opposed to Gov. Upham's renomi-
nation, were all disappointed
office seekers, or did they all fail
in their efforts to secure the home
| for feeble minded.
Madison Journal Rep: A
Nebraska minister has resigned
his charge and asserted his belief
that there is no hell. II he had
been around when Gov. Upham
read the interviews in the M;IWau-
kec Sentinel, and attempted to
assert his new belief, he wo uld
have heard some words hot
enough to have come from the
place he doesn't believe in.
Stevens Point Journal: Con
gresham Minor made a strong
argument before the House com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors, in
favor of improvements in the
