SPARKS FROM CHYNOWETH'S
SPEECH.

The platform was published in all your
newspapers, proclaimed from the stump
and no man advocating republican princi-
pes ever dropped q word that the party
dld not intend to abide by that plank No
man dared to do it and for the first time
there comes to YOU the proposition that the
party IS not bound by that plank
IL Gods name how could the party be
bound by anything if they are not bound
It is the most positive, the most definite,
the most certain of any of the blanks in
the party platform. When the republican
party adopted that plank it adopted it in
they uld they meant it.
No principle that any convention ever
passed on. was more widely PROMULGATED
more fully discussed, and better understood
than the primary election principle when
1t came tp to the last republican state
nous vote adopted this plank as part OF
their declaration Of principles.
I have not heard that the convention that
adopted Lhat resolution and expressed the
SuDJ2ct mai ter you are to consider in such
unmlStakahIa language was not empowered
TO speak Ter the republican party of Wis
cOnsin- Nobody YET has dared to say if did
not have that right and that power
There were 100000 more voters in this
osItIon contained in the other platform
No party can stand on broken contracts.
There is no line or sentence of the Ste
YenS Oil that does not comport with the
plank of this platform.
Wipe out the caucus and convention and
you still have the best form of representa-
tive government.
Pass this bill and no candidate for an
office Will ne. required to beIittle his man
hood any more Than every one of the men
VINO Hi those responsible positions your
supreme bench have done and are required
to do.
He is the governor over the dead body of
both the caucus and the convention.
From the farthest cross roads of the
state, all along the highways to the state
convention, were the fragmentary parts of
wheels and cogS and machines.
Let him reap the benefits of the fight
MS family he has carried on in your behalf
Let him sign mis- name to the law that will
abolish forever from this state the caucus
and convention system.
It is not true that all of the good men are
the product of the caucus and convention
deny most emphatically that Abraham
Lincoln was the product of the caucus OF
convention. Mr.. Lincoln was a man of the
people. Their cutlery and their rising uF
on his behalf made him the supreme ruler
of the nation.
VIM. Mckinley was not the product OF
the caucus or convention. When lie was Il
candidate for the high Office Of president
Of the United States every machine rlau
and every ring man in this state was
against him.
Robert NJ. La Toilette was not and is
not the creature or product Of the caucus
or convention.

ed for him but the people. Mr.. La
Toilette was not and is not the Great
ure Or product of the caucus or con-
vention. He is the governor Of this
state and your governor and mine
over the dead body of both the caucus
and the convention He made his
first assault upon it three years ago
! six years ago. His friends from the
backwoOds, his friends from hillsides,
his friends from the farm rose up and
with him pressed on the works.
They assaulted those works, but fell
outside the line. They jostled the
machine in its stronghold, but did not
conquer it. Again, two years from
that time, his friends rose up again
and marched from the farthest Dor
ders Of the state along the lines of it's
roads up to the state convention, and
there again made their assault upon
the caucus and the convention, and
again were hurled from its walls;
again went back to private life and
back to his law practice and to his
business, to support himself and his
family. A third time came from the
farthest corners Of the state the cry
of his supporters, On" And he took
them again and marched from the
workshop and from the farm. from
every branch OF industry and from
every branch of business in this
state, and again hurled himself
against the caucus and the conven-
ton, and won! Won over both! And
nc man that was less intense; no man
that was less in earnest, would have
made those assaults as Mr.. La Fol
lette did. He cared not for the Office
OF governor. The salary had no
glinmer for him. The patronage that
1t gives, it was not an inducement 20
him. In his private profession he
could have made twice that salary,
and it pains him, know, more than it
does the man who is refused, to turn
anybody away. His conduct of the
office has demonstrated that he did
not crave it to reward his friends or
punish his enemies. If the good of
the public service would sanction it, he
"OoAo S4FS 10 every HAN an ONCE VINO
made the application to him. He has
made this night on principle. He pro-
claimed to the people Of the state the
principle that he believed in, and they
believing in him, have joined forces
with him, fought under his banner AMI
made these assaults until at last he
has come out VIGOROUSLY. And the
last kick Of the caucus and machine
has been heard here on the floor of
this body. La Toilette the product of
the caucus and convention? Why
from the farthest confines of the state.
all 1t highways to the state conven-
ton and his nomination, were strewn
with the fragmentary parts of broken
wheels and Cogs and machines. Let
him, gentlemen of this committee.
through you, reap for the public the
benefits Of the fight which at so much
sacrifice to himself and his family he
has carried on in your behalf; let him
sign his name to the bill that will
abolish forever from this state this
caucus and convention system.

Mr.. La Toilette undoubtedly had
many personal friends who stood loyal.

celVed was because of the principles
ne represented, chief of which was the
promise OF a law that would enable
every voter to vote his choice for can

Want of Electors.

The question is: What do the cleo
tors want with regard to this bill?
Are majority for it or against it? If
for it, have they not the absolute right
to expect that it will become a law at
your hands? Listen we'll to their
voice for it is sovereign, and when
they speak it is as certain as fate that
they will attain, if not at your hands,
then at the hands of others to come
after. The man who deliberately de-
f1es the determined will of the electors,
when once thoroughly aroused, 'twerc
better for him, that mill stone were
hanged about his neck and he were
cast into the sea, for the pathway OF
ambition is strewn with the bones OF
men who weref ull of possibilities, ca
pable of great things, but who went
down because they failed to under
stand this vital fact, or understanding,
refused to obey the call.
So I assert again the question is:
Do the electors, or a majority of the
electors of Wisconsin, demand that
this bill shall become a law at your
hands? And if the question is an.
swered in the affirmative, should tho
members Of this legislature support

FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE
Election Reform Especially in Their
Interest.
Importance to the Farmer Fully Ex.
planned.
BY +. Miner of Eau Claire, Member
of Central Committee.
In part Mr.. Miner said:

The question of the adoption in this
state of primary election law for the
nomination of candidates for public
office by means of the Australian bal
lot, must be regarded as a practical
question, and ought to be discussed in
a practical way, free from rancour or
bitterness, and with purpose single
to the best good of the electors of Wis
consin.
AS preliminary to the discussion it
may be said this is not a question OF
what any man thinks should be- given
to the electors Of this state; they DO
not come here begging for the privi-
lege of obtaining that which they
have right to receive, and when
man tells you what he is willing to
give the people, to define what they
should be allowed to have, and what
they should be denied, then look out for
him. Remove his lambs covering
and you will probably find a wolf You
will undoubtedly discover him to be
some necessary and valuable COM
ponent part Of political machine, or
a full f1edged political boss. Verify
''methinks all such do protest too
much"

The Question of Expense.
