STRONG DEFENSE IN
WISCONSIN CASE
Chynoweth for "Halfbreeds'
Denies Authority of National
Committee and Court.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Sept. 15.-The argu-
ment Of the attorneys for the defend
ant in the suit brought by the "stal-
warts' to compel Secretary of state
Houser to place, the names of the
" stalwart - nominees upon the official
ballot under the party designation of
republican, occupied the attention of
the supreme court all day and the indi-
cations are that the case will not be
finished until some time Saturday.
Il. W. Chynoweth, attorney, of Mad
iison, opened for the defendant, read
ing brief Of nearly one hundred print
ed pages. He argued that under sec
ton 70 OF the Revised Statutes of 1898,
the old state central committee was the
only tribunal having jurisdiction of the
case; that the national convention had
no right to determine any question re-
latlng to state politics; that the state
convention is the highest political
itics; that the controversy, was really
never before the national convention
that it is the right of mem bers of a
political party to control their own To-
cal affairs unless otherwise regulated
by statute; that in courts holding to
the: doctrine Of higher political power,
the statute has established tribunal :;
that, even tho the determination of
the highest political power be conceded,
and the national convention be admit
ted to be that power, it's Judgment in
the present case is not and cannot be
| binding.
-, MI !; C. Ghynowe9tth argued further that as
the stalwart' convention did not con-
sist of a majority Of the regularly Gre
dentialed delegates, no tribunal can
make such a convention regular: that
the, H.stalwarts' are estopped from
claiming the operahouse convention req
ular, because they claim the benefits Of
they submitted their contest to the state
central committee; that the proceedings
Of the La Toilette convention were reg
ular; that in the absence of statutory
authority the courts will not assume jur-
| isdietion2 of political questions; that
equity cannot e i've the plaintiffs relief
will not grant a preliminary injunction
! IN any case where property rights are
not involved and that the court has no
jurisdiction over the electoral ticket.
Il. M. Bashford of Madison and John
Barnes of Rhinelander also made long
arguments for the defendant. Attor
ney Irving L. Lenroot, speaker of the
assembly at the last session of the legis
lature, is assisting the Defense In The
arguments today the different members
of the court asked several pointed an6
puZzling questions.
The attorneys for Secretary of State
Houser seem to be putting up mucl
stronger defense than was generally ex
pected. ':-
The courtroom continues to be crowd
ed with state officials, employees ant
others interested in the proceedings.
Associate Justice R. G.. Siebecker
brother-in-law of Governor La Toilette
withdrew from, the case, saying thi
| h0f hi nj ,,,41
might be regarded as disqualifyingy hin
from participating in it. Four member
of the court are left to decide the con
trOversy. - s~...'. -

ant, that in consideration Of the pay
mont by each of the amount decided
upon, such person would be unmolested
for the month of December. 1t this
evidence be true, the defendant consti-
tuted Gardner and the several police
officers, his agents to represent him, so
that the. effect was the same as tho n. ne
parties and himself received the
money! And the court then goes on
to say that there was no evidence that
Gardner was the agent Of the women,
but that each person making payment
acted independently Of every other per-
son; that there was separate and and dis
tinct agreement entered into with each
person paying any money, to the effect
that such person would be projected
by reason of the payment regardless OF
whether any others similarly situated
paid any money, or were protected.
The New Indictment.
"After this case was determined, and
in accordance with the views expressed
by the supreme court, Judge Elliot
charged the grand jury that it was theil
duty to investigate, and if the evidence
justified, new Indictment should be re-
turned charging but one separate OF

to say that the county attorney doe

"Some of the indictments standin
here should be dismissed on othe

the indictments against the defendant
I am unable, without further informs
tion, to determine which they are.
"The motion to dismiss is denied.'

There is all advertising monopoly at

inserted in their advertising contracts a
clause restricting the university adver-
Using Of the party Of the second part to
the publications in the agreement. The
advertisers have been ready to accept

The first to feel the effects Of this is
the Switch, a proposed comic monthly.
The promoters find themselves unable to
secure the advertising necessary to pay
their printing. bills and the Switch be-
comes impossible for year at least.
At present the Switch people are con-
sidering an offer from the Minnesota

Another victim of the trust may be

Interesting Letter Concerning a
Famous Specialist.
DIR. SIGLER INDICATED.
Letters from Patients Covering -Four
Years Printed for First
Time Today.

P DR.. FL; R. Sigler, the famous osteo-
path and electric specialist, who has a
handsome suite Of offices in the Syn
dictate block, 55l1a Nicollet avenue,
brings to light some very interesting
correspondence in the following letters:
Mrs. J. r. Fleenor of Garner, Iowa,
wrote as follows, under date of May
20, 1901:
Garner, Iowa, May 20, 1901.
This is to certify that our little
daughter Lola, aged 2 years, fell and
injured her hip last October. She was
of any pain after a few moments. After
consulting two MD. s, who did not give
us any encouragement that they could
cure her, although they thought there
was no dislocation, we took her to DR..
Sigler, Osteopath. DR.. Sigler found the
shorter. 1t was about two weeks after
she was hurt that we commenced treat
ment with DR.. Sigler, and in one month
she was permanently cured. She has
not shown the slightest weakness in that
limb since, and we believe that Osteo-
ing cripple for life, for which we are
very thankful.
Mr.. and MRS. J. R. FLEENOR.
A Minneapolis newspaper man, anX.
ious to know about the permanent eff
fects of the cure, over three years later
wrote to Mrs. Fleenor as follows:
! Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 20, 1904.
Mr.. J. R. Fleenor, Garner, Iowa:
Dear Sir-In the interest of our read.
ers we are looking up some Of the I'm.
usual cures made by DR.. II. r. Slgler.
AS we understand it, your, daughter Lola
was cured of hip trouble which had
been pronounced incurablea by other
physicians and that DR.. Sigler cured
her perfectly.
If you will write us, telling us the
complete facts of the case, you will be
doing a favor to our readers and to us.
Awaiting your prompt reply, we are,
/ Very truly yours.
Mrs. Fleenor replied as follows:
Garner, Iowa, Sept. s, 1904
Dear Sir-In reply to your inquiry,
I wish to state that DR.. II. Roy Sigler
did perform a very successful cure in
the case Of our little Lola. 1t was
nearly four years ago, at the age Of 2
years: She injured her 0ah hip 3D. by falin =
there was no dislocation, but thought
it was hip disease. DR.. Sigler located
the trouble and after one month s treat
ment she was entirely cured and has
never had sign of the trouble since.
We have always been very thankful
that he took the case in time.
i Yours respectfully,
MRS. J. R. FLEENOR.
So that it is being proved by the most
careful investigation that DR.. Sigler
does cure when other physicians fail,
and that he cures to stay cured. And,
more than that, DR.. Sigler' IS charges
at DR.. Sigler's office in the Syndicate
block and be examined and get the doc
tor g opinion free of charge.
Out-of-town people may write the doc
tor for his written opinion, which will
