AS TO FACTIONS.

The Racine Journal makes a strong
appeal for the nomination of a candi-
date for governor for whom all Republi-
cans can vote. Does the Racine Jour-
nal see the name of man who is seek
ing the Republican nomination for
governor whom it could not heartily
support? We doubt if there is such a
candidate before the people. When
the Racine Journal talks about factions
why doesn't it stop to consider that
there have always been factions in the
Republican party? 1t cannot name a
campaign before a convention since the
Republican party was born when there
were not fPctions. There is a clearly
defined Sawyer-Payne-P fster faction
and 1t is a powerful faction. In that fac
ton there are men who have controlled
the Republican party in Wisconsin for
nearly quarter of century. Any
one who intimates that it is not as much
Of faction as the one III which there
are such men as r. NJ. La Toilette,
W. d. Hoard, n. P. Haugen, D. W.
Curtis, E. l. Kidd and thousands of
other as good Republicans as the state
ever had, does not know what he
is talking about. When you come right
down to the fine point every Republi-
can who is making a thorough canvass
for the nomination is factional to a
greater or less extent. It is less
the case with Mr.. Elliott than with
Mr.. La Toilette or Major Scofeld. The
lines are not closely drawn in his case.
They are in the others. Undoubtedly
La Toilette could 60 to Mr.. Elliott
sooner than he could to Mr.. Scofeld.
Probably Mr.. Scofeld could go to Mr..
Elliott sooner than be could to La Fol-
lette. Certainly on his platform Mr.
Elliott could 60 to Mr.. La Toilette long
before he could 60 to Mr.. Scofeld, and
that is not saying anything against
Major Scofeld. He is backed by the
leaders Of a powerful faction. But
when the nomination is made the 9Th
Of next month there will be no Repub-
lican faction. There will be a united
army, and the candidate will be Loyalty
supported and triumphantIy elected.
About the silliest, gauziest, stupidest
claim that can be made is for the
friends Of Sawyer, Payne and Pfster to
denounce the La Toilette following as a
faction, and to claim that they are
not a faction. On the other hand if the
La Toilette people were to cry out
against the SawyerPaynePfster peo-
pie as faction and that they were not,
that, too, would be silly, gauzy and
nonsense. The cry Of faction on the
part of the big combine against La
Toilette is easily accounted for The
La Toilette faction has grown to Won
derful dimensions. 1t is the equal if
not the superior in power and influence
Of that headed by the big combine.
There's where the shoe pinches; that's
why the cry of faction is raised against
La Observation-Disclosures Telegraph.

A MERITED COURTESY.

The plan of local business men to
tender an informal reception to Repre-
sentative E. S. Minor is creditable to
Green Bay. Mr.. Minors record in
Congress has been one of marked eff
cheney and one rarely equaled by any
first-term member from any state.
His service on behalf of old soldiers
and the families of old soldiers in this
district, who were entitled to pensions
but failed to receive them until Mr..
Minor personally interested himself on
their behalf, has won the gratitude of
hundreds of deserving families and will
be long remembered by all old soldiers.
In his effort on behalf of Green Bay,
our member from the Eighth Wiscon-
sin district, has accomplished much
more than had been promised or was
expected of him. In the face of what
seemed inevitable failure, he managed
to obtain not only the full appropriation
for the Green Bay harbor, recommended
by the River and Harbor committee,
but secured also an additional five thou
sand dollars for the deepening and
Strengthening of the river channel
southwark from this city to De Pere.
His work in the interest Of a Federal
building in Green Bay also, of which
our most sanguine business men have
had only remote hope, had progressed
SO far at the time Congress adjourned
as to make it quite possible and even
probable that during the short session
of Congress, which convenes i'll Deem
Der next, the pending bill appropria-
ting one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for public building in this city
will be put through.
There is everywhere throughout the
district, among those we'll informed of
what Mr.. Minor has done, cordial APP
probation of his great practical value
to the district as its representative in
Congress; and the measure of appre
ciatIon everywhere felt should some
how manage to express itself generous
ly at the reception which it is purposed
within a short time shall be rendered
him in this city.-Green Bay Gazette.

AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE.

Robert NJ. La Toilette, the pro-
nounced choice of one of the assembly
districts of Douglas county for governor,
came from the volunteer ranks. OF
honorable but humble birth he worked
himself through the state University
to an enviable place at the state bar and
to a conspicuous position in the national
congress. He is chiefly noted for his
eloquence, ability, republicanism, loyal
tv and honesty. No man who knows
him will question but he is richly en-
dowed with each of these manly attri-
butes.-Superior Leader.

Superior Inland-Ocean: Mr.. La Fol

Rice Lake Leader: Unless there is a
great change in the sentiments of the
Republicans Of this state between now
and the holding of the state convention,
Aug 5, Robert NJ. La Toilette, of Madi-
son, will be the nominee of that con-
vention for governor-at least, that is
the impression of some of the longest
headed politicians in the state.

Marinette North Star: r. NJ. La Fol-

nounced himself candidate. Mr.. La
Toilette has done good service for the

to the gubernatorial race to win he will
no doubt have strong following espec-
tally in the southern part of the state,
where he is best known.

who want to be honestly represented
can get what they want if they will step

first the intention of the machine was
to give Grant county to some other can

Rice Lake Leader: Hon Robert NJ.
La Toilette needs no introduction to the
republicans of the state, for he has for
years been one of the most effective
and successful campaigners and as IN
selfish as he is aggressive. He is bright
and brilliant and as an orator has but
few equals in the country.

Black River Falls Banner: The fact
that Hon. R. NJ. La Toilette, of Madi-

state, and we believe him to be honest.

grew ugly In his ways. That's when
Mis- Williams and Louise dropped his
acquaintance. Mis- Williams didn't
want the settin' Of eggs, and she had
considerable to say about his ugly
temper.
"But, you see, I've raised chickens
this 80 year and l didn't get scared so
easy. He's got good, smart look in
his eye, if he has lost his soft little
ways, and he carries his head pretty
well for a young rooster. Louise
makes no end of fun of that cracked
voice Of his, but he'll have good crow
on him by and by. He is pretty for
ward, always first for his dough and
hot over careful about crowding the
younger chicks, and he's rather free
with his beak when he can get a good
dab at another's back. Take him all
around you might think him poor stuff.
Mother says he amt worth raisin' and
Mis- Williams says he has inherited bad
traits. She's great on heredity, you
know. She declares I can never make
anything out of him. He does give
me good deal of care. I have to rep
him a half dozen times day and |
1 talk consid' fable to him-rather sharp
sometimes; but"
Grandpa paused while he scanned the
flock carefully through his spectacles,
as if searching for some particular
! chicken.
"Ah, there's the one I want" he
cried "Over there by the grape rock,
that large, handsome cock with the big
tail feathers. See him, Margret?"
| Marguerite assured him that she had
found the master spirit of the yard
and added; mo question about his be-
ing of superior breed"
"Ah, ah," laughed grandpa, "you're
right, just right, and this little trouble
some rascal is the same breed, purest
blood in town; and that's just the way
he'll look year from now. When he's
strutting around next spring, scratch
ing up worms for his flock and gallant
ly escorting his wives and sweethearts,
Mis- Williams will say: Now, what ]
want is rooster like that fine fellow.
| But shall have deal O trainin' and
feedin' to do before then, and, Margret,
you'll have deal O. trainin' and feed
in to do before your boys are great,
| stalwart men, good to look at and safe
| for a woman to trust her heart and life
with; but don't you get discouraged be-
cause they don't act SO handsome while
they're growing as they did when they
were downy chicks with no say o their
own. They're only pinfeathering.
Don't you be pestered by what Louise
and Mis- Williams say. They hain't
never had any of their own to bring up
and better not mind too much what
mother says. It's near 30 years since
hers were babies, and she has most
forgot how tits, but it's different with
me. I've had the chickens all the time,
you know, and they're bout the same
as children. What do you think of
my fable, Margret?'
"Why, father" laughed Marguerite,
"that is just the fable l need. FL try
to remember that my boys are pin
feathering,' and trust they'll turn out
as well as your chickens"
And with lightened heart and new
courage she went back TO the house,
and slept that night without tear on
her pillow.-Good Housekeeping.

continued to Marguerite, while he
reached forward and gave the audacious
rooster a vigorous tap on his back with
the lSdle. Now you keep to your own
table, sir"
what beauties these little darlings
are!" exclaimed Marguerite, as she
picked up tiny chicken and gently
fondled it. It pecked softly at her
hand and cuddled down with a confid-
ing air.
Eyes, yes, Margret," returned grand
pa, "he amt week old. They're pref
test when they're youngest. And that
reminds me Of my fable. sP'r'aps you'll
like ter hear it. I don't s'pose it's as
good as Esop's or any of them noted
and 'twon't hurt you to hear it just
about now
Marguerite signified her desire to
hear the fable, and grandpa went on:
''You see that big, saucy chicken over
there? the one I whacked a minute
ago?"
Marguerite assented with silent
bow
"Wa'al, now, he was in an early
brood, and he was mighty cunning

used ter tell mother he was prettier'n
her canary, and he was-that's a fact!
and sight more interesting. Wa'al,
everybody fell in love with that chick
en-. Louise was so crazy over him she
wanted to paint him from life. Said
she'd never seen such delicate colors
In a common fowl nfore, and she had
him in the house and tried to make him
stand still while she took his picture,
And Mis- Williams down in that
brown house yonder-she used ter
come up to see him most every day
and she was always telling what q
fine, handsome chicken he was and how
modest, not greedy and ugly like some
are; and she wanted should sell her q
settin' of his mothers eggs. She was
sure he was a specially fine breed
