Somewhat Personal.

Conscientiously believing that the
people and the Republican party in
Wisconsin would be benefited by
change in the state administration,
the JOURNAL has, during the past
few months, endeavored to show
that the present regime at the state
capitol should be supplanted by
something better. To this end we
have repeatedly urged that all Re-
publicans attend their party caucus
es. We again urge this. The La
Toilette men will be there and those
of the other fellows who are not can
not consistently complain because of
continuation of the corrupt La Fol-
lette dynasty. Lest there may be
some among our readers who are in
clined to think us over-anxiouS in
the matter of caucus attendance we
wish to state that you will be doing
us no personal favor by attending
the caucuses. AS we have previous
ly stated, we have no axe to grind,
and have no more personal interest
in the result of the primaries than
that which should be shared by eve
ny Republican who desires party
harmony, and the overthrow of the
corrupt regency now in power at
Madison.

George McKerrow, State Super
intendent of Farm Institutes and
President of the State Board of
Agriculture, says: The unusual
backwardness of the present season
is alarming the farmers of the state,
and if it continues much longer will
cost them thousands of dollars in
crop losses and delayed work. Dur
ing the last thirty-five years only
three seasons have been as backward
in Wisconsin as the present one.
The alternate freezing and thawing
has already caused much damage to
grasses and winter grain.

"The issue is not to see whether
La Toilette shall have third term. !"
We can't see anything else in it, as
far as he and his friends are concern
ed. Most any other Republican can
carry out the party policy as well as
La Toilette could under ordinary
circumstances, and in consequence of
the antagonists the existing admin
istration has created within the par
ty. some other man can do better.

many a railroad bond sells for; and

We confidently expect Governor Hey
ward to take some action in reference to
having Adams, the convicted Colleton
murderer, arrested. 1t is his duty to do
so, and we do not believe he will shirk it.
~
Mr.. D. W. Smoak has assumed the ed
itorship of the Colleton News, and he
comes out strongly for law and order in
the first issue under his management.
His editorial on the Adams case is q strong
arraignment of the peace officers OF that
county.
~
The Colleton News says that 4. A Ad-
ANS, the white man tried and convicted
of murder and sentenced to be hanged in
that county, is still at large in the neigh
borhood where the crime was committed
and that the fact is generally known. 1t
will be remembered that Adams escaped
from jail while under sentence OF death
This is a terrible state Of affairs if true.
Governor Hayward should take as siren,
nous action in this case as he did in the
Eutawville lynching.
