INST ONE OF rHR IRRRRIRs

II has been one of the boasts of the
stalwart-railroad wing Of the republi-
cln party in the state that they were
waiting for the decision of the supreme
court before opening their campaign of
rebellion, and solemnly protested that
the 'populists, meaning the regular
republicans wc1e acting in Contempt
of court How sincere are these worth
les. for pending the decision, on Friday
night the boilers opened their cam
paign in Milwaukee with one M. G.
Jeffries of GAINESVILLE as the chief speak
er, Better Senator Quarles, presiding at
the meeting. A reading of Jeffries'
three hour effort can but convince the
average mind that he has combined all
the personal abuse, calumnies, exploded
lies and Yituperation of the Milwaukee
Sentinel, Dave Rose and the late defunct
Eleventh Story bribers' association in
one common mass and dumped it upon
the public. All Jeffries' insane and viii
famous truck hav3 been heretofore cast
aside by the truth-loving people of Wis
consin, and his infamy will but drive
honest men to the cause of good gov
eminent Robert NJ La Toilette is stand.
ing for.
But who is this Jeffries2 He is the
same fellow, who about the legislature
in late years, has been active in induc-
ing recreant members to forfeit their
regard and obedience to constituents in
defeating legislation promised the peo-
pie. 1t was he, too while temporarily
employed in the attorney generals Of
fee six years ago, gave Governor Sco-
field the official legal tip" to veto sew
eral important bills taxing corporations,
and looking to the relief of the people.
1t was Jeffries mot the celebrated slug
ger, but the corporation plugger) who
said the night previous to the late state
convention, that he rather see the re-
publican party torn into shreds than
have Bob La Toilette renominated for
governor. 1t was this same Jeffries
who, as the spokesman of Babcock,
Spooner & Company led the bolt from
the republican state convention in the
interest Of the corporations.
Is it any wonder that the Pfsters (who
lobbied through the legislature the bill
for the release of the state treasurers
who owed the state s2OOOoCl should
have Jeffries out knocking" a COVER
nor who has only honest methods 70 adj
vocate for all interests?
This is the kind Of statesmen the cor.
porate managers send out to misrepre.
sent and abuse true blue republicans,
men who have no interests in politics
and public affairs'except the welfare of
the people, A whole army of this class
will be hired to go over the state on the
same disreputable business. The inter-
ested corporations have the money and
they are willing to shell it out to all
this class of patriots that will lend
themselves to the work for big dollars.
Every plugger with a strong pair of
lungs and an abusive tongue can and
will be given good paying Job till the
campaign closes.

RAILROAD SHOWS ITS INTEREST,

At least one of the railroad corpora-
tions in this state is showing its hospi,
tally toward Coy. La Toilette and his
proposed change of taxing the railroads
on the actual cash value of what they
own 1.-THE same as the farmer has now to
pay from that Of paying taxes on what
ley actually earn as the railroads MP to
this year have been doing. This par
ticulaI railroad company is having cir
culated among it's trsinmen ami EN-
pIoyes for signature, a pledge tovote
against La Toilette they are not re.
quired to say whether they will vote for
Peck or Cook, but not for La Toilette.
No threat accompanies the request. but
of course every man understands he is
expected to sign or quit. II he refuses
he knows that some one will find or
manufacture some scheme to have him
discharge
1t Is hit natural therefore. that the
railroad men sign the bIanked pledge
but they will vote rs they please. The
voter cannot he follc we'd into the
booth, behind the curtain and compelled
to vote as the railroad dictates. and
while they signed that so-called pledge
there will be no uphraidings of con
science when they break it. Every man
is justified in using deception to pre-.
serve his freedom, No doubt the en-
ployes of That company. or any other one
using similar methods will not only
vote as they please when in the hoe h,
but will please themselves by voting for
the candidate TO defeat whom their
bosses treat as if they owned them. body

The fact mat appeals to every honest
and patriotic voter Of every party is
that Gov La Toilette has Kept faith
with the people in everything. They
believe in the principles for which he
stands and are perfectly satisfied that
he will do everything in his power to
carry them ont. The third term talk
cuts no figure. The principles involved
are essential things to be considered. -

Fight Over Hawaii.
Senator Foraker came to the con-
vention this morning with a resolu-
| tion giving Hawaii six delegates
Cannon heard of it and Immediately
started on the warpath. MY dis
trict," said he, with population Of
100000, is allowed only two dele
gates. Here's a proposition to give
10000 people six. It's going to be
fought"
Cannon busted himself lining up
the leaders in opposition to the
scheme. Foraker later said he might
not press the resolutions.
Foraker, at the request of the Ha-
waiian delegation. offered an amend
ment to the rules to give Hawaii six
votes. Carter of Hawaii spoke in
favor of the amendment. Hopkins
of Illinois opposed the Foraker amend
| ment. arguing that Hawaii should
have no greater representation than
a congressional district In this coun-
try. Foraker responded that Hawaii
is a territory and should have the
same representation as any other
territory, six votes.
Roraksr Defeated.
At 12:4o p. m. Babcock of Wiscon-
sin pointed out that six members of
the Hawaiian delegation were seated
on the floor and the proposition was
merely to limit their votes to two.
the same as the District of Columbia.
Bingham proposed substitute for
the Foraker amendment that Hawaii
have two delegates provided these
shall not impair the privileges Of the
delegates now seated In the conven-
tion. A roll call on the substitute was
ordered and the substitute adopted.
The report of the committee on
rules was adopted.
Senator Lodge then read the plat
form, as follows:
