Washington. July Is.-Deep interest is felt
In Washington political and official circles
over the fractional fight among the Repub-

head Wednesday in the State Convention.
The reelection Of Senator SpOoner and the
possible change OF the political complexion
OF two or more congressional districts are
Involved.
The pending fight IS said to be unparalleled
in its bitterness. Nothing like 1t has ever
been known in that Western country. The
danger OF a split in the Republican party
OF Wisconsin. with its large majority, is
imminent. II the split should assume such
proportions a. to cause Republican defec-

districts would be lost.

mainly upon State issues. and as the repre-
sentatives in Congress have friends and
followers in both factions. they are kept
busy endeavoring to balance themselves
evenly upon the fence. One or two members
OF the delegation may attend the conven-
ton. but they Will remain strictly neutral.
Governor LeRda One Faction.
The fight IS between two factions Of Re-
publ.cans. ons led ty the present Governor,
Robert NJ Iatoiette. candidate for ~re-elec-
ton. and the other representing the sup
porters OF the old-iine leaders, ike SAWYER.
Payne and Spooner. The issues are mainly
confined to the proposition TO nominate all
candidates for state Offices by primaries
and TO a reform In State taxation.
Senator SpOOueT's interests enter into the
equation because OF the fact that his sup
porters are largely opposed TO the LafoIette
faction. and IT, IS assumed. rather than
asserted. tina the latter may oppose him.
The novel feature OF the situation Is
that IL is not even known yet whether
Senator Spooner Is a candidate for re-
election 70 the Senate. He has not asked
the Endorsement OF the convention. In July.

many OF them question his sincerity, and

They point out that after the Democrats
have conducted an extensive warfare
against the trusts for three sessions of
Congress. q Republican President has at
tempted to steal their campaign hunder
and deprive them to a large extent OF the
issue on which they could reasonably Gx-
pect to carry the House.
while I thoroughly agree with the atti-
tude of President Roosevelt on the subject
OF the trusts said Representative New
lands Of Nevada, a Democratic member Of
the Ways and Means Committee. Il must
say his manifesto comes d trifie late, and
a person inclined to be skeptical would have
cause for wonder why, IL he were so in

ICE PICK USED IN A FIGHT.
A. Townsend Charged With AS
saulting Orchestra Leader Fritch.

Arthur Townsend. a river mate, whose
home Is in ST. Louis. is a prisoner in the
Clayton Jail. awaiting the outcome OF the
injuries he Is said to have inflicted on
q. +. FTitch at Creve Occur Lake Friday
evening.
Fritch IS the leader OF the orchestra at
Grove Occur. In the fight Townsend Is
said to have hit him oyer the head with
An ice pick. infiicting a dangerous scalp
wound. Fritch sank to the ground. uncon-
scious. and was not revived for several
hours. after which he was moved to his
home IN St. Louis.
Townsend's Jealousy OF his divorced wife
IS ALLEGED 20 be one or the causes OF the
trouble. He makes trips between ST. Louis
and New Orleans. and on his return from
one recently took = trolley ride to Creve
Occur for recreation. He met his divorced
wife on the car and asked her where she
was going. Il seems that her reply did not
satisfy him. for he made n second trim to
Creve Occur and saw her talking 20 Fritch.
Townsend went to the lake again Friday
afternoon and met FTitch on the porch Of
the restaurant. In the encounter he Is
charged with using the ice pick.
Townsend was arrested bv the private
Waterman and held until Deputy Sheriff
Rellairs went to the place. A vibrant
charging assault was issued by Justice OF
the Peace /. W. Campbell. who placed
Townsend's bond az 500 and set July a as
the date for his preliminary hearing.

several months OF silence on the subject he
has suddenly discovered that IL Is a burn
gressional campaign he proposes that some
thing shall be done.
Il introduced q bill in the last Congress
having for its purpose full publicity OF the
resources. receipts, dividends. expenditures,
etc, of the trusts. and Representatives
Richardson Of Tennessee. Littlefeld OF
Maine and others also presented antitrust
bills. which received substantially nc con-
sideratlon at the hands Of Congress.
Considering the fact that the next ses-
sion OF Congress will be n short Cesdon and
that a number Of important matters in ad-
ditiOn to the regular appropriation bills will
demand consideration, i doubt very much II
ously considered. Trusts can be regulated
only by means OF our interstate
laws and by taxation. and / think that
through taxation they can be restrained
