tried high mortality is the result.

What Kind of a Candidate?
| Some OF the newspapers recall that
| next year is presidential election year
and advise the party to get together.
! They want factionalism buried We
| shall hear much Of this sort of talk
| from now on. Practically it raises
| the issue, Shall the anti-LaFollette
| Republicans name Il pronounced OPP
ponent of the governor and fight it out
with bitterness. 0" shall the effort be
| to promote the feeling that two terms
| are enough for any governor. even La
Follette: that the people want peace.
and that some amiable nOn-factionaiiSt
| should be put in the executive cham
| Der. 1t is possible that the country vet
| er might be influenced by such an APP
peal and relax in the mad devotion to
the magnetic LaFollette. The admin
| iStratiOn machinery is in good shape
| and LaFollette delegates would be
| sought and secured. But if the opposi-
| ton, instead Of inf1aming and cement
| ing the LaFOllette sentiment; instead
of raising the cry Down with La
FOllette"' and naming an aggressive
| man known to be hostile should nomi-
nate man of peace, not identified
with the fractional fight Gf such one
can be found. some think the results
might be favorable. Instead of plead
ing with the voter to vote for an anti
LaFollette candidate, the plan would
be to throw an arm around the voter
and say Here, we're all Republicans.
We want peace. We're for Spooner,
for LaFollette, for Roosevelt, for ev-
erybody and everything that is Repub-
lican. But we want peace. We must
have it. 1t is presidential year. Let's
send delegates to the state convention
for man who is tied up with neither
faction and have harmony"
Some reason this way. They think
eX-Speaker Ray would fill such bill
If Senator Stout, who has stood by
LaFollette practically at every point
and SO reflected the wishes of most Of
his constftuents-if Stout could be per-
suaded to offer his name, the voters
might get a non-factional viewpoint
and abandon the pro-LaFOllette and
anti-LaFOllette standpoint. J. G. En-
cry might have made q canvas of this
sOrt-designed to break the spell Of
faCtionaliSm and to lead Republicans
g fo
lists, had he not accepted the office of
dairy and food commissioner under
Governor LaFollette. He had been
state superintendent, he is an agricul-
turist and he enjoys public confidence.
These theories are interesting but
probably not more than that It is
likely that every Republican will line
up for Or against the governor as in
1900 and in 1902. The fight will be
open, every one will understand it.
Rev. Wallace Short of Evansville.
Rev. Wallace NJ. Short, who has been
the Congregational pastor at Evans
vile for the past seven years, has re-
signed to go to a church in Kansas
City. The formal letter expressing the
sentiments of the congregation is inter-
ing as showing the qualities that peo-
pie admire in a pastor:
"As the years roll by we have come
to see the sterling qualities of a chris
tan gentleman eXemplitied in your
daily life. ''- vi T.. F..
You have always been a courageous
man, and never 4 man of policy; al
ways ready to express your views on
any living issue. even though such ex-
preston might sometimes seem to be
at variance with some of our precon-
| ceived ideas.
Your religion is practical; you don't
| think it is what a man believes, but
| what he does that determines his value
| to God and man. and we indorse that
| kind of piety.'' -.-.
have known Mr.. Short all these
| years. He is a Beloit graduate who
reads the Outlook" Thus you get an
| old school foundation with the new
school viewpoint.
Whitehead in High Favor.
Senator Whitehead has been at the
ACdo VI Tic VI. u. ~. OIL Tie state
| for nearly ten years. 1t is a narrow
| and petty clamor that because he has
not always voted to please individuals,
| he must therefore quit a position that

| cerned. he would never have assumed
l do not know Senator Whitehead's
reasoning as to the cigarette bill, but
! do know that one swallow does not
make a summer and that greater evil

who know the man that duty has been
