And the Democratic Candidate for Governor.
Mayor Rose Of Milwaukee, Speaks Words
of Praise.
Incident Generally Regarded as Rebuke
for Cook County Cabal Against the
Leader.
While Party Honors Burke, Attempt to SheIve
Him Locally initiates Against County
Ticket.

The invitation extended by Mayor
David =. Rose. Of Milwaukee. to Rob.
ert +. Burke. In which the latter Is So
licited to nid the Democrats of Wis.
cOnsin In their gubernatorial campaign
this fall Is but one indication of the
high esteem In which the great Cook
County leader and organizer Is held
by the Democracy ana its leaders
throughout the country.
1t Is also tacit though none the
less stinglng rebuke to the little cOterie
Of schemers, ingrates ana jealous indi-
vlduals who have been for months 80
necessarily laboring. planning ana plot.
ting to shelve Mr.. Burke and bring
about his downfall as n party leader
and power in Democratic politics.
The fact that Mr.. Burke has been
unable to accept the invitation of the
Democracy of Wisconsin and its gal
liant leader. Mayor Rose. does not de-
tract from the honor done him or the
Significance of the event as bearing
upon the future of Democratic politics
In the West.
In the first place 1t demonstrates be-
yond doubt that Robert Il. Burke Is re-
garded by Democrats everywhere as
the real leader of the party in Cook
County and the State of Illinois. II
further demonstrates that when the
proper time shall have arrived this
same leader will be heard from again,
those who have attempted his political
undoIng shall have passed OH and out
into political oblivion.
That the public Is now thoroughly
..on'' 10 the true inwardness of the
petty malignant crusade against Rob
ert T.. Burke, there Is no longer any
doubt, and It Is sad reflection for the
many excellent gentlemen who names
appear as candidates on the Democratic
ticket that this condition Is bound to
have an effect far from beneficial to
the party In the present campaign and
approaching election.
But unpleasant though the reflection
may be 1t cannot but force Itself upon
the consideration OF thoughtful peO'
pie.
One incident which may he taken as
an indication OF what may be expected
IN this direction transpired at the last
meeting OF the Cook County Democ
rncy.
On that occasion there came up fol
discussion the question whether tht
Cook County Democracy would take M
active part as an organization In Tho
campaign during the closing weeks Ol
", and furthermore. whether or no.
the Famous Marching Cub would turi
out In behalf or the ticket.
