WHO WILL LEAD

One should not despair of, eventually
if slowly, securing the adhesion of poll
ticiars and political parties to the sd-
vocacv and maintenance of ordinary
decency and honesty, both of purpose
and action, in the nomination and cleo
ton of candidates for public office.
AS feature of the senatorial contest
in this state, the breach OF faith with
their constituents, of eleven out OF one
hundred and twelve republican MEM
bers of the Legislature, whilst affording
conclusive proof of organized duplicity
in public life long known but not
proven, is not sufficient reason for either
wholesale denunciation or loss of faith
in ones fellow men.
Such duplicity and dlsloyalty to a
constituency needs only to be seen to
be hated and made more difficult if not
impossible in the future. The open
vote, of Wednesday last, laid bare this
iniquity.
As the majority of the people SO the
majority of the legislature are honora-
BILE men desiring the right. In the end
right will prevail. With equal truth, as
much as may be said of the present
candidates for United States senate.
We sorely need clearer definition Of
what constitutes veritable loyalty to
party and, per contra, ''bolter." No
where is is truer than in politics that
heterodoxy is your doxy.
A week ago, many republicans would
have regarded strenuous objection to
the secret vote, in senatorial caucus, as
evidence of party apostacy. Today, few
so poor as to do it reverence as an article
Of republican faith. The secret vote, in
caucus for United States Senator, is in
Wisconsin henceforth impossible.
Freedom from the artificial, slavish
and hdmiliating restraints which, not by
the constitution but by professional
politicians, have been forged about the
Legislators and the people is what we
need and will yet secure. The secret
vote is the first link to be broken in the
chain that binds us. The next will be
the nominating caucus. Then return
to full compliance with the constitu
tonal requirement that the United States
Senator be elected, in joint session of
the Legislature, by viva voce vote.
Are we looking too far ahead into the
promised land of political freedom,
in and through party organization, to
think it not only possible but probable
that the assertion of ones freedom from
the restraint OF pernicious, if ancient,
precedents will be the outcome and the
solution of the deadlock in the present
contest for United States Senator from
Wisconsin?
Who will lead?

The Modern Arnostic.

We look at our churches with their
congregations, growing in numbers and
dwindling in faith, says III. g. Chap
man in The AtlaAtic, and we ask our
selves: In ali these buildings, cheap or
costly, what real prayers rise, and of
those that rise do any get above the
roof? What God hears them and has
there ever been an answered prayer? We
look at the face of the dead and repeat
a burial service. If after the manner of
men / have fought with beasts at Ephe-
sus, what advantageth it me if the dead
rise not? And as we say the words we
ask ourselves, "Do the dead rise?" And
if any one is found who believes these
things he knows that there is another
at his elbow who believes them not a
whit or an atom, and these two can hit
ON no universe that shall satisfy both,
nor can one be poet to the other.

The Omen Caucns Vote

The following paragraphs appeared in
the Madison State Journal of recent
date:
Senator Munson was roundly abused
for moving for an open vote. We have
often seriously disagreed with Senator
Munson as to policies and candidates,
but upon this question he is sound to
the core, He did just the right thing
at the right time, and he will receive
the approval of all the people who want
to see honest methods prevail in politi-
cal procedure.
The balloting last night was strong
or argument in favor of an open vote
than any which could be made by words
There will never be another secret
ballot taken in a senatorial caucus in
Wisconsin, Last nights voting demon
strated their danger.
When eleven men out of hundred
and twelve vote differently in secret
from what they do in the open, it is
time to inquire what is going on.
1t was little rough on the fellows
who were trying to misrepresent their
constituents by voting in the dark, to
be ierked out into the open. But then
it was honest.

rue SENATORIAL CONTEST.

For the benefit Of our country sub
scribers, who do not receive the daily
journals, we give herewith condensed
report of the proceedings in the result
of which they are vitality interested with
every citizen of Wisconsin, The repub-
| lican caucus, for the nomination OF
United States senator, met in the as
senbly chamber, Madison, Wednesday
evening, Jan. 18th at S:25 o'clock.
Senator Thayer, Of Ripon, was elected
chsirman, and Speaker Ray, of La
Crosse, secretary. Col Rusk nominated
Mr.. Quarlss; Senator McGillivray, MIR.
Babcock; Senator Whiteman, Mr..
Stephenson; Assemblyman Williams,
Mr.. Cook; Senator Kreutzer, Mr.. Webb.
One hundred and eleven Legislators were
present. The results OF the respective
ballots are given below. The first two
ballots were secret. On motion of
Senator Munson and after vigorous de-
bate, amid great excitement the motion
for open ballot was carried by four votes,
81 to SO. Assenblyman Dahl voted
with his colleague, in accordance with
their publicly declared position on this
question. The effect of the open method
OF votiong is shown by comparing the
votes OF Messrs. Quarles and Stephen
son, on the second and third ballots
The demonstrated detection of Mil
waukee members from M. Quarles to
Stephenson has produced great indig-
nation in Milwaukee. The presence of
detectives in the lobby of the Park
hotel and conferences between them and
prominent supporters of candidates, to-
gether with charges and counter charges
OF bribery, has resulted in very bitter
feeling. A practical deadlock has ex-
existed since the third ballot. The
caucus adjourned to meet on Monday
evening, the % Inst. The name of 81.
q. Payne is mentioned as a dark horse.
The presence of prominent lieutenants,
of that gentleman, gave color to this
statement. Congressman Babcock re-
celved B out Of IL votes from this, the
Third congressional district. Senator
Munson and Assemblyman Dahl voted,
throughout, for Mr.. Cook.
