In the fight In Olympia today Senator
Wilson's friends are stili endeavoring to
use the name Of ex-senator Allen to aid
him. knowing that II by any chance he
should be elected TIE old Allen-w Wilson

Of Washington would be perpe,uated.
Wtls0A'0 Generosity 1T . Discount.
The facts are. however. Senator Wilson
has 10 intention OF making Mr.. Allen lis
residuary segatse. For the purpose OF pre-
venting the election OF Humes or Foster
or Ankeny. Senator Wilson's friends would
gladly convey the impression that II GER

Allen he would come to their rescue II he
were unable to secure his own election. but
ne would do nothing Of the kind It IL
not Senator Wilson's nature. Such q
scheme as that would denote . generosity
that Mr.. Wilson does not possess. He il
not generous In politics In any sense OF the
word. His nature demands pubic office,
and he would never let go Of even a
remnant OF his following. but would carry
them with him to the last ditch. He Is a
man who would prefer to perish and drag
his friends down with him rather than
surrender his SUPPORT to another. Political
generosity is q stranger to him.
Three Giants Against . Pigmy.
The senatorial contest stands today be-
tween Humes, Foster and Ankeny rep
resenting anti-Wiisonism. on the one hand,
and MI Wilson on the other. No other
candidate IL likely to be seriously consid-
cred. Mr.. Allen may receive a few votes.
but very few. The an,i-wi,sonites repre-
sent the reorganixed Republican party.
They demand a new deal In Republican
management They are unalterably OPP
posed to a ons-man party management.
They want Z party where merit has a
chance to win. and where . state or county
organization means something. They be-
lieve In the committees selected by the Re
pub,icans OF the county and state con-
trolling the party and the party patronage.
They are opposed to selfish leaders who
use the entire organization OF the q. o.
p. with less care than freighter uses
his horses. They object to lifting q man
to a position OF high honor and then being
compelled to grovel at his feet to receive
recognition. They are free men. who hs-

which In this case Il the Republican par
ty, and not In allowing the servant to
grind the grand Republican organisation
under his esotistio heel They are in
earnest: they are cohesive. and when they
find the strongest man they VIII go to-
gether. q sold phalaux. and wisconsin
