THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

The Republicans of Harrison county by as
large and harmonious convention was ever held
in the county have named their candidates for the
Offices to be filled next November and naught can
be said against any one SO named.
The ticket is representative and composed of
capable and efficient good men and true. 1t may
be and possibly is true that some of US did not Sc
cure his preference and would therefore have
named others. But while that is possibly the case
it must not be forgotten that it is highly probable
our selections would not have improved the situa-
ton Others might. and likely would, have had
objections to those whom we might have preferred.
Again it must be borne in mind that the wis
dom of the party assembled in convention is more
likely to be better and its actions more satisfactory
than the Judgment and act of the single individual
1t is therefore the duty of the party to give
undivided support to the ticket uamed the fifth of
this month, unless there is valid and substantial
objection to the persons composing it, No such
objection can be mad.
Parties cannot exist without more or less of
what is called 'sthe machine" in politics. that is
the regular and orderly district meetings TO select
out of the masses those who are TO speak for and
represent them in the nominating conventions.
where one is held, or by primaries where voters
express their choice by ballots for that purpose.
While the former method was by consent and d.
rection of the proper authority used in this in
stance, it cannot with any proper show of reason
be said that different result would have been
realized by resort to what denominated primary
election for that purpose.
There is as much cause to believe the outcome
would have been the same by each method that
it would have been different, and as much to
believe that some one would have been dsappoint
ed in his ambition by either method.
The fact is that no mistake was made by the
convention and that no serious mistake would
have been made by any combination Of the men
whose names were mentioned before 1t because
there was not one man voted for by his friends
who was not eminently fit and qualified for the
trust he sought. Had the result been different the
persons named would have required and received
the support Of his defeated opponents. The Tele-
gram would have as consistently and persistently
urged such support as it does now.
There must be no tagging. no sulking in the
tents no division. no discussion Let the party
without contention with harmony and determined
effort stand by the candidates it has legally select
ed ard when their terms expire they will be as
faithful and efficient aiding others in the attain
o. IL, al heir desires.

The way is always open for every candidate to
secure presence of his friends at the primaries
and district convention and thus to the nominating
convention, and therefore If the other candidate
secures more do not censure him. That is legiti-

in some districts one man succeeds, in others the
other man. There is, therefore, no kick coming
from the one who finally fails.

ways been loyal to US. Mr.. Lien
won the republican nomination after
very spirited contest, but his re-

It seems to many that it is almost
a waste of time and of energy
to give much attention to political
matters this fall. Certain it is,
in the Tenth Congressional dis
trict which alone remained solid to
the republican standard in 1890 and
1892 when everything was going
democratic, that there is not the
slightest particle of doubt as to the
result, and Hon. John J. Jenkins
will be reelected by his old
time rousing majority. He is
one Of the leaders of the lower
house of Congress and is one of the
ablest representatives ever sent to
Congress, from the state of Wiscon-
sin. His position on the subject
of trusts has excited a great deal of
attention throughout the country.
He takes the position that there is
no power by which Congress can
enact legislation to control the
operation of the trusts and he is the
author of bill to amend the con-
stitution to place these combira-

This year he was nominated by ac--
clamation, and it all goes to show
that good man is bound to win
out. LaFollette is genuine re-
former, and thoroughly believes in
the taxation of all corporate institu-
tions. His opposition to the tax
dodger, and his bitter warefare upon
machine controlled politics have
made him very distasteful to
minority of the party. But the peo-
pie have stood by him AND the day Of
his triumph is at hand. He pro-
poses, among other things, to abolish
the caucus system and to place the
whole matter in the hands of the
people who Will make their nominal
tons by means of a primary election.
AS was to be expected, there was
at first considerable opposition to-
this proposition, but as people be-
gin TO study and understand the
matter more fully, the plan is be-
coming more popular, and the
state at large is now in a condition
where they wish to give it a fair
trial It is a noticeable feature in
this campaign that the old machine
politicians really find that after all
Bob" LaFollette is all right. The
people have known this for many
years and it is a good thing that the
people and politicians are agreed
for orce LaFollette will certainly
make ideal Governor and there
will be thousands of democrats who
will give him their votes. He is
universally admired and will un-
doubtedly be one of the most pop
ular executives Wisconsin has ever

The cry of Imperialism has oeen
raised by these political hypocrltes,
almost for the sole purpose of catch
ing the great German vote. Bryan
and his people have been valnly and
unsuccessfully attempting to alarm
the American people, and especially
certain classes Of foreign-born
American voters, by trying to make
them believe that this country is
drifting toward a form of Imperial
government. What would they
have us do? We became possessed,
through the fortunes of war, OF a
great deal of territory. Cuba has
been freed, and a form OF self-gov-
eminent is rapidly being established.
Porto Rico has accepted our SOW
ereignty and ali is going well on the
island. but in the PHILIPPINE archl-
Dellaoo a band of rebels have made
war upon our government, and have
been resisting our authority almost
from the beginning. Hundreds OF
brave American boys have laid Gown
their lives in battle with these mis-
guided blacks; and yet, Bryan says
we must withdraw our troops from
the islands, and surrender all our
rights of possession to these people
who have been defying US.
The best brain and the best effort
of the nation have been given to be
PHILIPPINE question, and besides
great sums for military expenses.
millions of American money has been
expended for public schools'and pub

For County Treasurer.

Several weeks ago, before much
had been said regarding the county
campaign, or the probabilities as
to what the nominating conventions
might do, we heard a citizen of Bay
field remark that he hoped the peo-

name of Alonzo Ell. Wilkinson. He
said be did not know whether Mr..
Wilkinson would be a candidate,
but that he hoped he would be, 'be-

lines up anything like the northern
part of the state is bound to, La
Follette's majority will exceed
125, OOO."
That's pretty big talk, but it is
given as the opinion of a man who
has Travelled over the state, and par
ticularly through the northern part,
looking after the interests Of the
party during the last few weeks.
Of course it is pretty hard to talk
very much about majorities, but the
election of LaFoliette and the state
ticket is just as certain as that cleo
ton comes on the sixth of Novem-
Der.
This is the year that the people
win in Wisconsin. The politicians
who have been forcing unpopular
nominations, to more or less of an ex-
tent for a great many years, went
out OF business last summer and
Bob" LaFollette, the populor idol
of the people was nominated for
Governor, and became the leader Of
republican politics.
People of Wisconsin love Robert
NJ LaFollette-''love" is a pretty
strong word to apply as indicating
the position of any man with the peo-
pie, but it is not overdrawn particle
in this case. Mr. LaFollette has
been before the public eve for a
great many years. Four years ago
he became a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for Governor
and was defeated. The same fate
met his candidacy two years ago.
