George w. Peck, the Democratic
nominee for governor, is not man
that requires an Introduction to the
people of Wisconsin. Twice governor
of the state, he is known to the people
The record of his administration is an
open book. In electing Mr. Peck gov
ernor, the voters will be called upon to
make no experiment. They know the
kind of government the state had when
Mr.. Peck was governor, and they know
the kind of government they will have
should they see fit to place the Demo
cratic party in control of the states
affairs at the approaching election.
The Peck administration was char
acterized by the economy with which
the state government was managed and
by the faith kept with the people in
the things to which it was pledged. Its
pledges were redeemed to the letter :,
In his speech nominating Mr.. Peck
Neal Brown said of ex-Gov Peck
that "as soldier, journalist, private
citizen, and public official, he has
borne his part well and has acquired,
in all these relations and activities, a
knowledge of men and of affairs that
certainly eminently qualities him for
high official position. His virtues are
of no negative character, and yet, by
way of negation, we may add luster aud
good repute to what he has done" These
things that he has not done are sug-
gestive of the things that have been
done in the name of reform" Mr.
Brown added further. "When he was
governor he never iobbed ont the rev.
enues of the state to an army of polti-
cal favorites in order to build up for
himself personally conducted ma
chine. He never allowed the FESTIVE devil
of overweening political ambition to
master and possess him. He never
sacrificed on the altar of that mad am
bition, his friends, his party, the inter-
ests of the people, or his own dignity
and character. He never sold an
Office within his control for a hand
some contribution to his campaign
fund. He never used among associate
officials the public employees under him,
or the rank and file of his party, any
system of cunning espionage that called
for the evesdropping, keyhole repor-
tOrial talent of q thousand superservic-
able spies" What he was not might be
continued indefinitely la short, his
administration had none of the abuses
that have made scandalous the existing
Republican administration of state
government.
Mr.. Peck is not political leader He
makes no pretense to being a leader OF
other men. He is content to execute
the will of the people. While The Daily
News believed that the occasion called
for a man that is more aggressive and
more of leader than eX-Gov. Peck,
yet it has never questioned his integ-
rity or questioned that if elected to the
governorship, he would seek to keep
faith with his party and the people AS
MIR. Brown said, ex-Gov. Peck's ways
have always been ways of soberness,
and not ways of damboyant, theatrical
emotionalism. He has always been
content to follow the old standards of
conduct, and to hold to the plain course
of simple duty. He has betrayed no
trusts; he has alienated no friends by
dark and devious methods. "-Milwau-
