The Wisconsin Situation.

1t is of interest as bearing upon
the general question to note the state
ment of Chairman Babcock, of the Re-
publican Congressional committee, on
the Wisconsin situation. Mr.. BabcOcll
is a Congressman from that State and
an active opponent OF Gov. R. NJ. La
toilette. The Republicans Of Niscon-
SIM said Mr.. Babcock, without re-
gard to faction, are preparing to give
President Roosevelt the largest major
ity ever cast there for a Presidential
candidate. This arises mainly from
his personal popularity. l have never
known 4 Republican candidate for the
Presidency who was SO popular in our
our factiOnal contest, from policy if
from no higher reason, are earnestly
for him. II either side were to de-
clare war on the President the people
would turn against It. So far as the
electoral ticket is concerned it will
make no difference upon which of the
State tickets the courts say it shall be
placed. The first thing a Wisconsin
Republican does when he goes to the
polls at a National election IS to vote
for the Republican electors. After
that he will follow his judgment as to
the other officers. |isconsin's Is
electors are sure for Roosevelt -

ously dfsquieting the Democrats ev-
erywhere, and that is the detection
OF the ultra free silver, or Bryan Dem
ocrats. Mr.. Bryan's Endorsement of
Judge Parker has not helped the lat
ter's cause. On the contrary, and
some believe it was done for no other
purpose, it has hurt Parker among that
very large element of the Democratic
party which swears by Mr.. Bryan and
his radical ideas and theories on many
questions besides that Of finance. This
element, or a considerable part of it
at least, disowns and repudiates Judge
Parker's stand on the financial ques-
ton. They look upon the Democratic
candidate as the choice OF Wall street
and the financial and corporate inter-
ests which it represents. They also
regard him, as the candidate chosen
by the trusts and who is bound to
take no action offensive or detrimen-
tai to them. Consequently this ele-
ment of the Democracy is saying that
since both Republicans and Democrats
are as one on the financial question
they can afford for the present to drop
it and turn to other issues. Taking
up the trust question, they say that
Parker is undoubtedly their friend,
While Roosevelt has at least done
something tc curb and control them
Therefore, as between Parker and
Roosevelt, they prefer Roosevelt How
far this feeling spreads, and what it's
effects viii be, is, of course, at pres
ent merely speculative and conjectu-
raj. That it is alarming the Demo
cratic leaders is true beyond all ques
ton.

With one 8exceptio everyP President
has had the electoral vote Of his owE
State. James K Polk lost Tennessee
to Clay and still was elected, but the
plurality from the State was small.
Polk lost 1t by $113 votes. In the ear
for their favorite sons Van Buren,
carried New York in 1886; Harrison
Ohio four years later. Louisiana
voted for Taylor in 1s4S and New
Hampshire was Democratic when
Pierce was elected in 1852. In 1856
the Democrat, Buchanan, carried
Pennsylvania by $4,000 plurality.
Since the war the same principle has
invariably held good. Lincoln and
Grant both carried Illinois and Hayes
and Garfield Ohio. New York was
with Cleveland both times when he
was elected He lost it in 1888 Har-
rison carried Indiana when he was
elected and lost it four years later on
the occasion of his defeat. Ohio, of
course, was for Mckinley both in
1896 and 1900. For the second time
in history it happens that both lead
ing candidates are from the same
State, as were Lincoln and Douglas
in 1860. Since New York usually
votes on the winning side, it is likely
that the general rule that the Presi-
dent carries his own State will not
be violated this year But while
Judge Parker cannot be elected
without New York President Roose-
welt easily could be. So there is a
possibility Of a second exception to
precedent.
