Neal Browns Endorsement.

10y H45ht, tsiS uSElOcfdlS decided TO
cast their votes for Neal Brown for
senator Neal Brown stood for
something in the late state cam
paign. He had measures to propose
and a cause outside Of himself 10
support. lie spoke for the party
during the campaign, for a party of
principles. The Legislators did we'll
to SO place their votes as to tell the
story OF their appreciation to the
party in the state. The time must
come when the party in Wisconsin
will be compelled to look above per-
sonal ambitions and petty bidding
FOR votes it must stand for a posi-
tive policy and command men as its
leaders who will bring character and
tone to the work aud give their
whole energy to the party purpose.
This tendency is favored by the dis
Greet nomination of Neal Brown.
1t is not alone that it is Neal
Brown there are other able and
clean leaders it is that a change in
the kind of material selected has oc-
CURED. The old party is bound to
right itself. The democratic ship
will not sink. 1t has been buffeted,
mis- sailed and laid in the trough of
political waves. But ii is not
wrecked. The promotion of such
men as Neal Brown and Judge Par
ker, of New York, for places of
honor in the party comes to the par
ty like a breath of new mown hay
to the weary and weak seeking
health.
The best Of it is that no campaign
was worked for Neal Brown. Mayor
Rose sent solid delegation from
Milwaukee, largely held to him by
the local machine efforts. For him
a strong effort was made with all
the democratic representatives. Yet
so strongly has the opinion become
fixed in the minds of the leaders
that it is time to change the party
tendencies, that Mayor Rose is
dropped. - Milwaukee Journal.
Milwaukee News la rendering Neal
Brown the complimentary vote Of the
Democratic legislative caucus for
United States senator the Democratic
members of the legislature honored
themselves and their party
Mr.. Brown was not a candidate for
the honor. He made no effort to secure
II and it came to him unsolicited
Though the honor is one that is called
empty often mistakenly, the manner
OF its disposition gives much of promise
as to the course which the Democratic
minority in the legislature may pursue
this winter, while it indicates an awak-.
ening of the state Democracy to the
fact that there is Democracy in the state
outside of the confines of Waukesha
and Milwaukee.
The action of the Democratic legis-
lative caucus not only gives much of
immediate promise, but it indicates
that the spirit of independence and the
manifestation of common sense will
take hold of the party to the exclusion
of "hurrah' methods. which have made
Democratic state conventions anything
but deliberatiye bodies in recent cam
paigns.
IL indicates that the party is coming
to see the necessity of building for the
future, to weigh its acts and not to dis
pose lightly of its favor because it may
be an empty honor" 1t is only by
such methods that the party may hope
to establish character and invite the
confidence of the people. Character it
must have to attain the latter purpose.
Neenah Times, DEM: Our Demo
cratic state senators and assemblymen
did well in their action By nominating
Hon. Neal Brown of Wausau for the
United States senate. 1t was highly
deserved compliment to almost worthy
man and sound Democrat. Mayor
Rose of course had the Milwaukee
delegation, but the grand stand did not
work at Madison as it did in Milwau-
kee. Those Democrats who vote for
Mr. Brown are Democrats from ''prin-
ciple.n
Marinette STAR They named instead
Neal Brown of Wausau, who has no
other recommendation than his ability
and his character as talented gentle
man. The turn-down of Rose was sig
nificant because it was an echo of the
recent campaign. Thousands of promi-
ment and influential Democrats left
they felt that corporate interests con-
trolled their candidate and dictated the
platform on which he stood,
