He Is It.

The voter in the doubtful state
May calmly fold his hands and wait,
Well knowing that the candidate
Will come and dance before his gate,
And that the man
Who has plan
To bolster up the party slate
Will come to him
With eyelids dim
And tell him that an awful fate
Around the corner lies in wait
And just about to make a date
Unless he votes the ticket straight.

Ticket Nominated at Fuller Opera

Kept in the Field.
MANY LEADERS ARE PRESENT.
From All Parts of State Cry Goes Up
Against the Withdrawal of the
Scofie1d Ticket.

The Republican ticket headed by
former Governor Scofie1d will not be
Withdrawn from the field and the cam
paign for it's election will go on as
hard as before
The State Central committee at
Milwaukee yesterday decided on this
action after many hours of de1ibera-
ton and fiery addresses by several of
the leading thinkers in the Repub1i-
can ranks. The situation was dis
cussed pro and con and as result the
vote was almost unanimous to keep
the ticket in the field and press the
campaign to the limit.
Resolution the Result.
The following resolution was
adopted by the meeting held at the
Hotel Pfster after many heated argu-
ments:
Resolved, That it is the Judgment
of this meeting, most emphatica11y
expressed, that the present Republi-
can ticket headed by former Gov. Ed
ward Scofe1d, be kept in the field,
and we pledge to him and his asso-
ciates our most enthusiastic support,
and that the State Central committee
be heartily commended for the work
already accomplished, and that the
campaign be vigorously pushed from
now until the date of election
Issues Appeal.
Later the state central committee,
through its officers, issued the state
ment following and made strong
appeal to the Republicans of the state
to support their action:
To the thoughtful and conserva-
tive voters of Wisconsin:
The Republican state ticket headed
by former Gov. Edward Scofe1d will
remain in the field, Notwithstanding
reports to the contrary, and one of
the most vigorous campaigns ever
waged in Wisconsin will be carried
on in the interests of that ticket.
We call for volunteers in every
ward, town and village to meet and
organize at once where organizations
have not already been perfected.
Where such organizations already
exist, it is expected that steps will be
taken at once to pass the word to
open the battle.
Within the next twenty-fours let
those who believe in representative
government, in conservative, con-
structive principles, in the stability
of our institutions, assemble in their
several communities and at their
county seats and arrange for a meet
ing to held within forty-eight
hours for the purpose of en1isting
volunteers who will organize and APP
point committees whose duty it
shall be to perfect organizations in
every voting precinct.
Let fire and enthusiasm mark every
step. We have ample time to bring
our arguments home to every voter
before election day, if we act at once,
and this is the real end and object of
the work.
Let the people of Wisconsin know
that sound and wise conservatism
can be made aggressive.
Our purpose is not negative, but
positive and constructive.
Let every true Republican awake
and prepare to redeem the state of
Wisconsin from misru1e and corrup-
ton.

arguing against a tremendous
acreage being planted this spring;
nor with a fair season is there
likelihood of the yield being less
than 100000 bales. The
South Carolina farmers wisest
course is to plant as early as is
reasonably safe; to plant the
earliest maturing varieties of
seed obtainahle and to use econ
omy, making the greatest guam
tity with the least outlay. What
ever the size of the crop, high
prices will be commanded by the
first half million bales of the new
crop that are put on the market
