ests Of this state. TO this we have
never heard of an objection being
raised. It was considered legitimate
partizan politics. They undoubtedly
urged, as republican politicians, the
appointment of Mr.. Payne to the
cabinet because Of his ability AS a
partizan.
1t has been charged, and never
disputed, that Mr.. Payne while
chairman of the Republican State
Central committee used whatever in
fiuence that position gave him in the
interest of certain great corporations
(and for pay), and against the inter-
ests OF the every day business man,
the laborer aud the farmer.
During the month Of October last
the constant inquiry Of concentrated
wealth was How will the farmers
vote? Will they save us and the
country from ruin?" Now the farm
ers ask that not their enemy, but a
friend Of their vocation be placed in
the cabinet Of the president they
voted for, and because of this request
made in conventions where there is
no partizan politics they are severely
criticised by certain partlzan poll
ticians. There may be politics in the
petition of the farmers of Wisconsin
for the appointment of Ex-Governor
Hoard to be secretary of agriculture,
but it is not partizan politics. 1t is
personal politics, and is not confined
to Wisconsin. From ocean to ocean
endorsements are finding their way
to Mr.. Mckinley favoring this APP
pointment.
The farmers of the solid south,
from which Mckinley is the first re-
publican president TO receive an
electoral vote, are asking for Hoard,
For thirty years we have been trying
to win back the friendship of the
south through the postmaster gen.
eral. Now that the farmers of the
south are ask ing for friendship, isn't
it best for the country to give them
the chance they ask Of US to meet
them on the level in the Department
Of Agriculture
The farmers of Wisconsin were not
deferred from their duty In 1861.
Their sons were patriots in 1896. And
if in 1891 they refrain from resolu-
tions and petitions at the behest of
some self styled partizan politicai
leaders, then will the teachings OF
Prof. Henry, the lamenled Rusk and
superintendent McKerrow have
been In vain.
The farmers Of Wisconsin repre-
sent more diversified wealth than
the sum total Of concentrated wealth
of the corporations OF the state.
They cannot go to Canton, but they
can resolve and petition, and partIZan
politicians cannot prevent or take
away from them this personal Potif-
icui right.

AN incident that furnished con-
siderable gossip about the state capt.
tai at the opening Of the legislature
was the discovery that Hon. }. o.
Davidson, member for Crawford
county, was omitted by the railroad
companies when they sent out Gus
tomary annual passes 70 members OF
the assembly. Mr. Davidson voted
for the resolution to prohibit pas
two years ago, and it appears that
one Of the legislative representatives
of the corporations undertook to re-
buke him for it. The outcome was II
retort courteous which had the effect
of cutting Davidson's name from the
list Of members to whom cOurteslcs
were extended by both Of the leading
railway companies doing business IN
the state, and the member pnid his
fare from Soldiers Grove to Madison.
The question is suggested, why, If
railway passes arc not given to in
fiuence the votes OF members, Mr..
Davidson should have been ques-
toned as to his vote or ignored by
the pass distributors when he refused
to explain it.

TuE state Journal, a Payne organ,
is indignant that farm institute
workers, are generally favorable to
Hoard for secretary OF agriculture,
and take occasion TO So express them
selves publicly and privately. The
Journal demands that the farm in
stitute workers be prohibited from
endorsing Hoard, aHd intlmates that
the governor and the Legislature may
be called on 10 gag the farmers, un-
der prctensc that rs the workers are
in the employ OF the state they have
no right to take part in political con-
troversies. The same paper admits
that the legislature and the presi-

plant therent. The farm institute
workers are doing for their favorite,
just what the members of the legis-
lature and the presidential electors
are doing for theil's. If the one Is
wrong the other is equally 80. y
prominent difference, however is
that the expressions at farm insti-
tute- pretend only to be those of the
farmers present, while the members
of the legislature and presidential
electors are claimed To speak for
large constituencies. and in many
instances the claim is unwArranted.
