spenseley on the Governorship.

While in Milwaukee recently our
Senator Spensley was interviewed
for the Sentinel, and is reported as
saying.
mo, am not candidate for gov
ernor, and have not authorized my
name to be used in that connection.
1t has simply been mentioned by
some OF my friends without my sane
ton, and | am not out for the Office.
What would | do in case events so
shape themselves that the nomin-
alton might come my way? Well, as
to that / cannot say. but that is q
contingency not likely to arise. There
are enough good men who will take
the nomination. In fact all the can
didates are good men, and as the re-
publicans are going to carry the state
by larger plurality than ever we are
sure 10 have good one during the
next two years. | have no prefer
ences to express, for as / say the
candidates are all good men,"
Senator Spensley said he under
stood that James Monahan, of OAR
lington, was out of the race, and it
was uncertain who would secure the
greatest support in this section of the
state. Feeling bad not as yet crystal
Lied on anyone. Mr.. LaI'ollette,
however had many friends in south
western Wisconsin,, and especially in
Grant county. M. McGregor would
also get some personal following.
Mr.. Spensley said there was little free
silver sentiment out his way, and
not only would there be no detection
from the republican ranks but there
were many democrats who could not
support the l6 to platform. While
expressions could not always be
banked on this early, as there was al
ways a tendency TO climb the loaded
wagon, be knew number of influ-
entail democrats who would not vote
for the Chicago nominees. This was
especially true among prominent
COMMUNICATIONS in his part of the
state
Mr. Spensley says that lie stated in
the interview above reported that
La Toilette was a strong favorite in
Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties,
instead of mentioning Grant county
only as favorable to the ex-congress-
man.

the wisdom of this bold def of the
powerful influences which he antap-
onizes, the correctness of the princi-
pies he enunciates, and the exis-
tence of the evils referred to. cannot
be gainsaid. No one should be NOM
mated for governor who cannot en-
dorse the Elliott platform. which is
as follows:
] believe that corporation.
whether quasi, public or private, Is
entitled to the same rights and priv
ileges, but should be holden to the
same duties and obligations as a
private person.
believe that corporate influence
upon legislation tending to pervert
such legislation from public good to
private gain should be abated. / be-
lieve that the political methods that
were so openely used during the last
legislature and which resulted in the
passage of bills enacted in the inteF-
ests of corporations to the detriment
of the people. are perhicious to the
welfare of our state and must in the

the republican party; ! oppose them,
therefore, both as citizen and as a

Things Discovered.


Milwaukee Telegraph In speak
ing OF Mr.. Ia Follette's candidacy,
and in disparagement of his news
paper support, the Madison Journal
says:
1t is unfortunate, to say the least, for
republicans to appeal to republicans.
saying, support this man out of hat
red for somebody else
A careful look through state eX-
changes has not enabled rs to see
such a spirit manifested on the part
of Mr.. La Follette's newspaper or any
other friends. They seem to be sup
porting him because Of his splendid
record in congress, his high type Of a
republican, his great ability as an or
ator, his effectiveness as n republic
can worker, his unquestioned hon
esty, his marked fitness for governor.
That is about what we have discov-
cred on the part of his supporters, es-
pecially IN the newspapers that are
Ill favor Of his nomination.

covered that the we'll known, great

fitted for tire office, but because they
have not been able to manage him

know that they could never hope to
own and run him as governor Does not
the Madison Journal regard that a.
rather bad republican politics. The
