"The idea which we of the south

Force This Alternative and
Spooner Walls.

MADISON, Wis, May 1.-THE La
Toilette leaders held conference to-
day for the purpose of arranging a
programme for the state convention,
and late tonight it was reported that
they had decided upon one.
The programme contemplates the
seating Of enough contesting La Fol-
lette delegates by the state central
committee to give the governor work
ing majority of from sixty to seventy.
BY doing this it is estimated that the
opposition will besso handicapped that
it will be unable to do anything but
submit to La Toilette domination or
bolt the organization. La Toilette lead
ers in the capital said today that the
opposition would be forced to one or
the other of these things.
Assemblynlan Irving L. Lenroot, of
Superior, speaker of the assembly dur
ing the last session of the legislature,
will be temporary chairman, being in
troduced by State Chairman Bryant
Immediately after the convention is
called to order.
United States Senators Spooner and
Quarles and Congressman Babcock
were among the political leaders in the
city today, and, it is said, are doing all
in their power to promote harmony
Senator Spooner said tonight of the
situation:
1t is, as I see it, deplorable in the ex-
tTeme. 1t is a crisis in the life of the
Republican party in Wisconsin. 1 have
not seen one similar to it before | do
not think there is worse situation in
any state. On both sides there is great
bitterness. Those who are opposed to
giving third term of office to any chief

stances which sometimes have made the

credited delegates TO the convention The

does not seem possible that such pur-'
pose, If it has been entertained will be
carried out.
The settlement of contests by the
state central committee to it's own lik-
ing is criticised by opponents Of the
governor, who say that the duty of the
committee is to hear contests, ascer-
tain the facts and report to the conven-
ton the facts with their recommended
ton and let the convention decide the
contests the same as do all legislative
bodies.
Late tonight it looks as though
there viii not be bolt in tomorrow's
convention. This seems to have been
averted by a caucus tonight of the
121 Cook delegates who determined
not to bolt in any event but to stand
by their man from start to finish. If
the Cook men stick to their decision,
there would be less than a majority to
leave the hall in case Of a bolt and
without a majority nothing could be
done.

In few days the city of st. Paul will
have definite and tangible interest in
the legal contest that will ultimately
decide whether or not the street rail-
way company win be compelled to obey
the law and pay the per cent gross
earnings tax imposed by the city coun-
ell, this being evidenced by the passage
Of the foregoing resolution by the
board of aldermen last evening.
This authority to go into the courts,
and possibly to expose what is sup
posed to be a mere friendly suit started
by the street railway in the federal
court, was last evening secured from
the board of aldermen by Corporation
Attorney ]. C. Michael, who announced
in this and in still more definite form
that the legal battle that has been
started will be fought to the bitter end.
The resolution was presented to the
council with a very brief request that
it be passed. There We're a couple of
motions to this effect, and the roll call
showed that there was not among the
ten members present a man who cared
to proclaim that he did not believe it
just and equitable that the corporation
attorney be given a free rein to make
the contest that means so much to the
city.
Just what course he will pursue in
this matter the corporation attorney is
not willing to divulge in detail but
enough is known to warrant the belief
that he will not follow the lead of the
corporation that he opposes, but that
he will bring an independent action that
will rest upon its own foundation and
be Independent Of all other suits that
have or will be brought to solve the
tangle that it is the apparent purpose
of the street railway company to Gre
ate.
