PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

We call particular attention to one
plank of the Wisconsin convention plat
form. the insertion of which is under
stood to have been insisted upon by Mr..
La Toilette, plank that the people, the
rank and file of all parties ought to in
sist upon in every state. 1t is adapted
TO secure heir emancipation from. the
hard and selfish rule of the boss directed
machine. 1t points the way, the surest
way, perhaps the only way to break up
the aggressive oligarchy of the machine
and make the nomination of honest men
and representative leaders possible.
Such law would destroy the opportu-
nifty of the organized gangs who are in
politics for profit, and who presume
through their secret manipulation Of
caucuses and conventions to secure the
nomination of candidates upon whose
personal loyalty they can depend and
prevent the nomination of any Others.
Honorable men who will Nc: cringe for
place could submit thoic cause to the
direct choice of the voters OF the party
without humbling themselves to any
Intermediary dictation.

Whitewater Register Less than three
months remain before election and the
tremendous current of business shows
scarcely ripple still less Interruption.
This Is a new experience in presidential
campaigns, for ordinarily there is dis
position at such times to slow up in all
business enterprises of large moment and
await the issue This year. However,
there IL such entire confidence every
whore in the re-election of President Nc
Kinley and the continuance Of the ad-
ministrative policy which has brought
such prosperity to the country, that no
business ship is casting anchor or reefing
sails The only danger possible comes
through this same feeling of security
Postmaster General Smith, in a recent
visit to New York, warned company
of leading business men against that
oyerconfidence which leads to neglect of
duty through the campaign and at the
polls. The healthiest condition for a
good. cause in a political contest is one
of some uncertainty in the result; it
would doubtless be better if this feeling
could find Judgment in the public mind
the present time, but it would be a
different matter to bring it about.

THOSE AMENDMENTS.

BY reference to the notice Of general
election rs published, number of
proposed amendments to the state con
stitution are incorporated in the same
These viii not be voted on by the peo-
pie ut the coming election, but will have
to pass the next Legislature before they
are submitted TO popular vote. The
law makes it obligatory that amend
ments to our constitution shall be
favorably acted on by two succeeding
legislatures before they go to the elect
ors for ratification, and published after
they passed the irst. So the official
publication is simply to direct public
attention to the proposed changes.
These, tersely stated, are as follows:
l. To make it possible for the state
to raise by taxation money to be used
in the construction of public highways.
Heretofore the state was prohibited by
the constitution from raising money fol
this purpose. The proposed change, il
o. opinion, is one of questionable ex-
pedieney or wisdom Start the ball
a-rolling and there is no telling where
these expenditures for internal i'm
provements' viii stop.
O. To prohibit the use of passes by
public officials.
g. Giving the legislature power to
pass a general banking law. Heretofore
according to the constitution, the peo-
pie had to ratify by their votes pro-
p sed banking law The new section
would take it out of their hands and
leave it entirely with the Legislature.
The people have as rule voted down
every banking law presented to them,
and will probably do the same with
this amendment if it ever reaches them,
taking this prerogative from them
f. Tomake the state superintendent
term four years and that official to be
elected at same time our supreme justices
are. This is all right our schools ought
to be divorced from politics. With the
obEteration OF the old section from the
constitution the old limitation on the
superintendent salary to $1,000 year
would be wiped ont also. The salary
world then be regulated by law.

A VETERAN EDITOR NERVOUS.

Editor Hurlbut. of the Oconomwoc
Free Press has been in the business for
over fifty years and his attack entitled,
La Follette's Inconsistencies" should
therefore be received with charity. He
has the gentleman $ name at the head of
the ticket bnt seems to be worried by
reason Of the primary election PROPOSE
ton coming from Mr. La Toilette. The
substance of his article is this;
we do not believe, and we do not
believe that the majority of republican
voters believe nat MIR La Toilette could
have been nominated by the open caucus
system or by any other system than the
outrageous machine system, denounced
from the start by the Free f'ress, and
strange as it may appear, condemned
today by Air La Toilette himself "a
-,stem which alone is responsible for
his present political advancement
Editor Hurlbut is wrong in thinking
that in free primary any of the candi
dates would this year have received more
votes than Mr. La Toilette. Whatever
defects or disappointments time may
develop in the incoming governor, most
everybody comedies that he forged
TO the front because the people wanted
him, aided of course by his splendid
political organization. 1t was great
victory. Mr.. La Toilette early stated in
public manifesto that he believed that
q majority Of the people of the state
wanted him for governor, and as the
opposition TO him in the public faded
away, most everybody conceded that he
was right. Mr. Hurlbut is therefore,
behind the times, The primary election

the efforts OF Mr. La Toilette Whether
in the future it will be more advantag-
eous to him as political aspirant than
the present caucus SYSTEM of which he
has made a great success remains to be

Col J F Wilson Will Not With

Colonel J F Wilson denies in the strongest terms that he has sDtertsin- ed any proposition looking to his with drswsl from the race for congress. He states with emphasis that he will be in the race until the evening of No,em- Der G and that unless the republican party neglect 10 make nomination or unless Mark Smith dsc;das tot quit the contest, the territJry will be treat ed 10 thsspectscle of A three cornered fight. Colonel Wilson says that in carrying out his resolutions be is not consulting his own inclination, but ,bst be could follow no other course in justice to his friends, or with honor to himself. More than the possibility of success Colonel Wilson says, is in- volved in the present situation.
 In an interview in the Republican Col Wilson is quoted as follows:
