DEMOCRATS HOPE TO WIN WIS.,

Much Hope.
New York Herald.
Wisconsin, with its prize of thirteen
electoral votes, was the subject of two
important conferences yesterday, one
by the Democratic managers, who re-
alize that there is a chance to place
the Badger State in the Democratic
column, and one by the Republican
leaders. who see grave danger of losing
William F. Sheehan, the chairman OF
the new Democratic Executive Commit
tee, had u long session with Edward
c. Wall of Wisconsin, who is now the
leading Democrat in the State of party
influence. Mr.. Wall was just back from
"a visit to Judge Parker, and he gave
to the Democratic candidate his opin-
ion that unless the outlook for the
Republicans improved the State would
go Democratic.
The State is divided into three hos
tile camps. One is Democratic. while
the Republicans are widely divided.
There are two electoral and two State
tickets in the field. both backed by
Republicans of prominence, and both
factions would rather see the Demo
Gratis win than have their foe triumph.
One faction is headed by Governor
La Toilette. and he is opposed by what
is known as the "stalwarts." headed
by Senator John c. Spooner. Senator
Quarles, Postmaster General Payne and
Representative Joseph w. Rabcock.
who is chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee.
Postmaster General Payne came over
from Washington and met Senator
Spooner and Representative Bacbock by
appointment. They had a long con-
Terence over the situation. The Pres
ident is by no means in sympathy with
the stalwarts, who took the hit in
their teeth It che Chicago Convention
and had the La Toilette delegates
thrown out. He had requested that
the whole matter be left to the courts
and that each of the two sets of dele
gates be given half vote
1t is now suspected that the PresI.
dent. through Mr.. Pavne. is putting the
screws on Messrs. Spooner and Bah
cock. with a view to getting the case
decided in the courts. If 1t is decided

Always Keep Faith.

MANY a woman who would not think
of lightly breaking promise made to
a grown-up person is utterly careless
about keeping her word with her chill
dren. She promises whatever is con-
venient at the moment, and apparent
ly thinks that the breaking or keep
ing of those promises is matter in
which she can please herself. and that
her children have no right to consider
themselves aggrieved if she does not
do so.
A mother who acts thus does her
child grievous harm. She forgets that
the sense of justice is strong in quite
little child. and that it is natural and
reasonable that he should expect his
parents to be as good as their word
and to fulfill their promises. even at
the cost of convenience. Promises
should not be lightly broken, and the
parent who is guilty Of this soon loses
his children's confidence, which is one
of the sweetest things which our little
ones can give us.
When boys and girls learn to doubt
their parents truthfulness they soon
look around for someone else whom
they can trust, and on that person they
shower their affection and bestow their
confidence
