ABOUT THE EARLY CALL.

The CENSOR, to-day, gives place to
two articles on the matter of an early
call for the congressional convention.
The first Is by Mayor E. W. Hove OF
Boscobel, WHO is also district attorney
Of Grant county and, altogether, fair
and honorable gentleman. Mr.. Howe
goes at the root of the matter in man
ner that is logical and simply unanswer-
able. The other statement Is sent out
by Colonel Casson from Washington, as
chairman of the committee which -
sumed such unusual latitude in calling
a convention five months in advance Of
the usual time and at season they must
have known would deprive the farmers
of the district of an opportunity TO par
ticipate in the caucuses anu conventions
without sacrifice and negleot os spring
work 1t is not sufficient to point TO the
fact that the congressional campaign
committee recommended early c0nven-
tons, for it is well known that Mr.. Bah
CUCh ~ tic |EsSAd4hE ECI4uS VA tbts Qua
iiiary to the political machinery of the
country, and there is every reason to be
lieve that he was father of the scheme.
If Mr., Babcock and his supporters are
honest in their pretensions for fairness,
and disclaim a motive to take advantage
Of the situation, they will unite in 4 call
upon the committee, as suggested by
Mr. Howe, for postponement of the
convention till such date as is custom
airy, and thus afford the people of the
district an opportunity to choose their
own representative, II they then make
choice of Mr.. Babcock, there can be no
foundation for the charge of sharp prac-
tice and foul methods. He can do n,
less than this if he expects t. retain the
confidence of the people and has interest
of the republican party at heart.

SOUNDS A WORD OF WARNING.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, the leading
republican paper of the state and IA CON
servative, strong advocate Of republl-
can principles, sounds a timely word OF
warning against the unreasonable call
for conventions. In part it says.
There are unmistakable signs of re-
volt in several Wisconsin districts
against the unprecedently early calls for
conventions TO nominate candidates for
congress. The innovation as presented
radical change, and there are rea-
sons urged against tn" proceedings thus
far taken which are worthy serious con
sideration by congressman hoping Tor
reelection It is from three to hye
months earlier than the customary time
for such conventions 1t is a season
wi en- spring work and bad roads VIII
combine to prevent attendance at the
primary meeting in all of the farming
districts Ii can not be reasonably urged
that thu, convenience and needs OF the
natl nal committee require that con
gressional candidates shall be named
six weeks before the candidate for pres1-
dent is nominated or the party platform
formulated. The safest way TO reelec-
ton is that by which congressman can
give rival aspirants least cause or ex-
cuse for opposition, rather than by seem
ing attempts to forestall action by the
largest possible number of voters The
fact that the congressman in each dis
triet usually has the support OF the con-
gressional committee in his plans adds
force to the complaint of those VINO as
sumo, whether right or wrong, that the
party organization is used 60 stiAe the
opinions OF the great body of voters and
to shut out asplrants who have a right
to demand that nominations shall be
secured in open and fair composition.

CHAIRMAN CAsSoN'S EXPLANATION.
In answer to inquiries as to the call
ing of the congressional convention for
April cath. the committee makes the
statement
Upon the organization of the national
republican congressional committee,
which has charge of the campaign for
the election of ms nbers of congress, the
following resolution was unanimously
Adopted
WHEREAS, In past years the committee
has Re an embarrassed Ia many sections OF the
cor atry by late conventions having no reg
utur organization TO deal with In such cases
| tntii lt was TOO late TO organize an effective
campaign, Be 1t
RESr LIVED That ia the interest of an ef-
fectlve ana successful campaign the early
nomination OF candidates fpr congress is
earnestly recommended.
This resolution was widely dissemina-
ted through the associated press. and in
the newspapers generally, and ELECTED
hearty concentrations from all quarters
rs in the line If divorcing congressional
nominations from local politics. The
proposition was promptly acted upon in
many states, and congressional nomina-
tions are being made. two districts in
Indiana having nominated this week
1t is manifest that no political advan-
tage can accrue to the sitting member.
IL there is any advantage, it is, beyond
question, in favor of the candidate who
is upon the ground, while the sitting
member is at the cap'csl attending to
his duties,
The representative from the Third
district Mr.. Bahcock, Is chairman of
the republican congressional committee.
to which committee is entrusted the
campaign for the control of the house
of representatives which shall be iu ac-
cord with President Mckinley. Ii
could hardly be expected by the most
severe critic that the committee of Mr..
Babcock district would disre- ard this
resolution passed unanimously by the
national republican congressional com
mittee
No right or interest of any candidate
is abridged in the slightest degree Nv
this call The farmers of the district
have more time and greater opportunity
10 take an active part in political affairs
than they would have during the farm
ing 5, ascn. and will have opportunity
To take an active part in determining
who they wish to represent them. Sixty
days notice of the convention was given
The people have never had longer notice
of convention.
If the Third district were the excep-
ton in this matter some criticism
might be made, but such 5 not the case
The first Wisconsin convention called
was the Fifth district This, it is said.
viii Ice followed by other districts in ;he
state, in conformity with ths recon-
mendation in the resolution adopted by

mmittee.
