To THE REPrBfICANS OF WISCONSIN:
The undersigned with all members of
the republican party in Wisconsin, have
driftcd from differences on non-essent-
iala into warning party carIps.
For Party Peace
We believe the time has come when
the fight within the party should cease.
We believe that this will be found to be
the Judgment of the party, and that it
only remains to choose a way in which
it may be given expression and its com
mand issued. At the request of Judge
Emil BaensCh we have undertaken to
organize the republicans Of the state for
party peace Actuated by this motive,
Judge Bneusch has acquiesced in the mr.
gent request that he become a candidate
for the nomination for governor We
will actively and vigorously promote his
candidacy believing il to I've in the best
interests of the party, but he considers
his candidacy as only Il means To an end

tie party paramount TO the personal
ambition of any man, ana should the

A Compliment To Cook
Hon S A. Cook actuatcd, rs we be
leve by the same high purpose, has also
announced himself ~ u candidate.
While using AL honorable means to Sc
cure the nomination of Judge Baensch,
we can but congratulate the party upon
the assurance that the nomination of
any true republican who may he Il can
didate in this spirit Will command the
support of II united party.
The candidacy, however, of any man
whose nomination would mean con
tinuttiou of the present factional divi-
sion of the party should be discouraged,
and the advice of those whose political
or material interests would he rudang-
erred by the return ot peace, should be
received with great caution
National Election Not Certa
Because Of local conditions in various
states and the disp ,-ition of the demo
cratic party to unite its factions with all
interests opposed 20 the administration
Of Theodore Roosevelt it can be truly
stated that the result Of the coming
presidential election is not one of GER
tanty and it would he Il political crime
should united democracy in its efforts
to defeat his re- election be- confronted
with divided fhctional republican
party in Wisconsin The vote of Wis
consin once determined the result of
presidential election.
Let MS have new alignment that will
stamp out factoualism There are no
! irreconcilahlr al fferencrS our greatest
concern today should be the unitcation
safely be entrusted the settlement of all
/ issues
