SPO0NER TO WIN.
Better Judgment of Wisconsin Repub-
Iicans Is Showing Itself.

Atlanta Constitution
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury Tay-
Tor, who halls from Wisconsin. is quoted
as declaring with much emphasis that the
Republicans of that State intend to
elect Senator Spooner. even in the face or
the opposition of Governor La Toilette.
1t is TO be hoped, both for the sake OF
the Republican party and the country, that
Mr.. Taylor's prediction will prove true.
At the recent state convention when SEN
ator Spooner's friends sought an anequivo-
cal Endorsement and were able TO get only
such resolution as Governor La Toilette
permitted, the outlook for Senator Spoon
er's reelection seemed pretty dark. lie
was to be required, according to the terms
of the resolution adopted by the state con-
vention, TO swear allegiance TO certain
features of the state platform against
which he and his friends had fought. IN
less he did this the dominant faction OF
the party, under the leadership OF the
strenuous Governor, would take his scalp
These issues were State rather than
tional. Governor La Toilette seems TO be
on the right side. both i'm his advocacy Of
primaries and of the proper taxation OF
corpora tons, but the merits Of these ques-
tons need not be taken into account in the
consideration of the situation by outsiders
! The one point at issue is the political adj
visibility of retiring 10 private life a man
whose Republicanism Is in perfect accord
with his party and whose ability is para
mount, simply because he differs from fell
low-Republicans on pun = local issues
Since the convention practically repudi-
ated Senator Spooner-for that was the
effect of its acJiOn-there has been re-
action i'm the party. The masses OF the Re-
publicans seem TO be agreed that his op-
position the La Toilette wing State
issues should not lead 10 his retirement
from Washington. where he is universally
regarded the ablest Republican and
where he serves his party, his State and his
country so well That Mr.. Taylor should
make so bold as TO confidently predict his
reelection indicates that this sentiment Is
rapidly gaining ground and that Spooner
will win
Ii looks as IL Governor La Toilette may
have overreached himself in attacking the
man who has been the idol OF his party
solely because he could not make that idol
