Special to The Journal. s.
) milwaukee,, Wis, July 28.-It is practi-
cally conceded that either Mayor David
Rose or E. G. Wall will head: the demo-
cratic state ticket this fall There Is no
doubt that Mayor Rose will go into the
convention with the 107 delegates ofkMil-
waukee pledged to his support, but this
is not majority of the delegates who
will make the selection and 1t Is conceded
that Wall is stronger In the country Here
in the city, however, the impression seems
TO be gaining ground that the mayor Will
have no trouble in winning out. -. ~.
The names Of John Wattawa of Kewa-
nee and Mayor Burt Williams of Ashland
are mentioned in connection with the
nomination for lieutenant governor, The
selection of Louis Lange, the Fond du
Lac: editor, for secretary Of state, has
been well received by the country press
and by the party leaders in this city. For
state treasurer the names, of g Julius
Kloos of Sheboygan and John NJ. Baer of
Applet on are mentioned. Mr.. Kloos is
cashier OF the bank of Sheboygan, life
Ills candidacy seems to be most in favor
at present ,s:' - +
For the position of attorney general an
extensive list Is already under considera-
t1on. Among, those most prominently ly
spoken of are George w. Bird. Of Madison,
a leader of the Bryan forcesEduring the
past two national campaigns; B. W. Jones
Of Madison. Neal Brown Of Wausau, W.
H. Wolff of La Crosse John K1uwtny of
Oshkosh and Robert kirkland Of Je1er-
son.
mo name has yet been suggested for the
place of railroad commissioner. The gen.
eral impression seems at present to be
that It will be best to wait until the
various railway organizations have de-
cided on some one for this place and then
have the convention indorse their choice
It was rumored yesterday that F. o. Tar
box of Ashland, who was the railroad
mems candidate for that position when
the republican convention met at Madi-
son, would be selected, but this was de-
MED by the leaders. - y.. 1850 -
The plan for the democratic convention
to nominate Superintendent Harvey to
succeed himself will not down Mayor
Rose favors it on the ground of Mr. Har-
vey's eminent fitness, and for the reason
that the democrats could then assert they
were the ones to take the first step to-
ward removing the public schools from
politics. There is no doubt that Superin-
tendent Harvey would have the active
support of practically the entire teaching
force OF the state, and of such republicans
as Senator Stout Former Governor Hoard
and large percentage of the stalwarts.
The democrats, however, are inclined to
fear the Greeks even when bearing
gifts" and do not encourage the idea.
They say they have tried the experiment
before and that 1t has never Ftgot them
anything so far. The probabilities are
that they will nominate some one OF their
own party and let Superintendent Harvey
run independently, in case he desires to
do 80. The names of John r. Lamont OF
Marathon county is frequently mentioned
in this connection. and there is some talk
of the candidacy of Carl Mathie, president
OF the Wisconsin State Teachers associa-
