ROSE HEADS TICKET
NATIONAL PLATFORM IGNORED
BY WISCONSIN, DEMOCRATS.
Resolution Proposing Endorsement
Of the Kansas City Declaration
Of Principles Completely
Ignored by Convention.

Milwaukee. Wis, Sept. A-The wiscon-
sin Democratic State Convention conclud.
ed its labors at late hour today. The
ticket:
Governor. David 8. Rose.
Lieutenant Governor. John w. Wat
tawa.
Secretary Of State. Louie A. LANCE.
State Treasurer. Ed. L. LUCKNOW.
Attorney General Olaf r. skaar.
Superintendent of the Public Instruc-
ton. Karl A. Mathie.
Railroad Commissioner, William A.
Redner.
Insurance Commissioner. William Ferb-
er.
The Convention smashed many of the
states which had been prepared. One of
the sensations of the day was an at
tempt to induce John w. Wattawa, the
nominee for Lieutenant Governor. to
withdraw from the ticket because Of GER
tain rumors concerning him. Mr. Wat
tawa refused absolutely to entertain the
proposition and the conferees then set
about to fix slate for the balance of the
ticket which, to their minds, would be a
winner. In this they were far from being
successful, for with about two exceptions
more than one name went before the Con-
vention.
The biggest surprise of the day and a
sensation at that, was the turning down
of resolution just before the Convention
adjourned, indorsing the national plat
form. While the delegates gave a re-
spectful hearing to its reading it was
not entertained for an instant.
Just before final adjournment Delegate
w. H. Rogers of Madison, offered the
following resolution: I'VE, the Demo-
Gratis of Wisconsin In Convention assem-
bled. confirm our allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party and its policy as enunciated
in its national platform"
Scarcely had Mr.. Rogers finished read
ing the resolution when another delegate
arose to a point OF order and stated that
early in the Convention 1t was decided to
refer all resolutions to a Committee on
Resolutions. Still another delegate made
a motion to adjourn. This was put and
adopted with almost a unanimous vote
there being not over two or three feeble
protests. The resolution therefore was
completely ignored.
