WISCONSIN COURT
MAY DECIDE TODAY.
Halfbreeds and stalwarts Will Soon
Learn Their Fate

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 26.-Adher
ents of Gov. La Toilette and followers
of the other faction of Wisconsin Re-
publicans are anxiously waiting for the
opening session of the state supreme
court tomorrow. 1t is expected by both
factions that within few minutes
after court has opened the decision will
be handed down, deciding whether the
names of candidates nominated in the
stalwart convention, headed by Sam.
breed convention, headed by Gov. La
Toilette for reelection, shall appear
on the ticket to be used at the Novem-
Der election.
The action was brought by the stall
warts to restrain Walter L. Houser,
as secretary of state, from certifying
to the county clerks the names of the
men nominated in the half breed
convention for governor, lieutenant
governor, secretary of state, state
treasurer, attorney general, railroad
commissioners and insurance commits
sioner. The certi6cation to the clerks
is equivalent to ordering the names
placed on the tickets The court is also
asked to command the secretary of
state to certify to the county clerks
for use on the official ballot the names
of the men named for the same posi-
tions in the staIwart convention. A
question of printing the names of the
presidential electors in the same coll
umn on the ticket with the names of
the members of the stalwarts, should
the decision favor that faction, is also
involved.

Republican Committee Work.
Ing Hard to Save Dunn

The inevitable Roosevelt and Dunn"
campaign badge appeared yesterday,
and while it seemed almost too soon
after his Saturday visit to st. Paul to
throw Mr.. Fairbanks off the political
map, the exigencies of the Minnesota
situation demand that Mr.. Dunn's
name be linked with that of the presi-
being elected governor of the state.
The first bunch of the new checks
were brought to St Paul by Charles S.
Benson, of st. Cloud, a strong sup
porter of Mr.. Dunn, and it is said that
the state will soon be flooded with the
Roosevelt and Dunn" watch fobs.
Refusal of Republican to accept as
a gift one of the souvenirs will imme-
diately brand the man who has the
courage to refuse to be placarded as a
political bolter-one ~of the worst
crimes in the decalogue of the Repub-
lican leaders-and the Dunn managers
expect to at least put a new face on
the situation in the state by tagging
every man who will submit to the pro-
cess.
The Republican leaders evidently
have come to an appreciation of the
situation in the state, and will try to
use the Roosevelt strength in Mime
sofa not only to elect Dunn, but two or
three congressman whose records are
anything but fiattering and who with
put the presidential pull will fall OUT
side the breastworks.
Senator Knute Nelson gave utterance
yesterday to the thought that is up
permost in the minds of the Dunn
mana gers when he said: "Dunn can't
be beaten this year. Wasn't it Ma
poleon who said that the Lord favors
the side that has the biggest battal-
ionS?''

COMMISSIONER BIRD
SEES SHADOW OF AK


The state game and fish commission
will meet today at the state capitol and
will pass on bills for the construction
and equipment of the new fish hatch
cry at Glenwood. The hatchery is
practically completed and the commits
sion will probably pay a visit to Glen
wood on it's adjournment tonight.
William Bird, of Fairmont, mem
Der of the commission, reached st. Paul
last night to attend the meeting of the
commission today. "The state has a
modern hatchery at Glenwood," Mr..
Bird said, and it has been built and
can be operated until the appropria
ton from the next legislature is avail
able, from the appropriation of $40. 600.
The site OF the hatchery was also paid
for out of the original appropriation"
Mr.. Bird was a Collins man in Mar
tin county during the preconvention
fight and says he expects to walk the
political plank in case r. C. Dunn is
elected governor.

AT TORN[Y GENERAL
SNUBS A DEMOCRAT
Turns Down kittson County
Mans Request forLiaht on
Election Laws

A Kittson county Democrat who de-
slres to become an independent candi-
date for county auditor, complains that
when he wrote the attorney general of
the state for information as to the form
of his nominating. petition the attorney
general replied that he was 'steo busy
to accommodate" him, and he writes
Tn Clio be for light on the subject.
Charles =. Estlund, of Kennedy, Kilt
son county,sis a Democrat who delayed
too long and must enter the race for
Office against Republican. Stress of
work in prosecuting the cases sub
mitted to him by Public Examiner
Johnson against Republican congress
men for trespass on public lands, and
attempts to cancel contracts for inn
mensely rich mineral lands held by
former employees of the state, may be
blamed for the busy times that the at
torney general refers to in answering
Mr.. Estlund's request for information.
No Formal Form of Petition
There is no formal form of petition
to be circulated by which an indie
pendent candidate for county office may
be placed in nomination. Ten per cent
OF the qualified voters of a ecounty who
did not participate in the primaries of
Sept. 20 are sufficient to nominate. The
nominating petition is usually circus
lated by notary public, who may ac-
knowledge the signatures to the petit
ton in one notarial certificate.
In communication Mr.. Estlund says
that he wrote to the attorney general,
st. Paul, for Asome information re-
garding the particular form, if any,
needed for petition of nomination.
but "his reply was that he was too
busy to accommodate me at this in
stance Mr.. Estlund writes that his
friends surmise a sinister motive on the
part of the attorney general.
Form Generally Used
James Drummond, deputy auditor of
Ramsey county, said yesterday that the
election laws make no requirement of
any special form of petition for indie
pendent candidates. The usual form

used and the signers to the petition
are severally sworn by the notary taxi
ing the acknowledgements.
1.-The notary may attach his notaria1
certificate to the entire. hstlo signers,' .
Mr.. Drummond said, just the same as
though there was but one sigDer, pro-
vided he has seen the signers aff1x their
signatures to the petition.
1.-THE petition for a county office
said Mr.. Drummond, must contain
the names of 10 per cent of the quali-
fed electors of the county, and an i'm
portant consideration is that the sign
ers must not have voted in theepreced-
ing primaries y
city Clerk George Reddington and
Register of Deeds M. w. Fitzgerald
assented to the view of the form of the
petition and the number of signers
necessary to make it effective taken by
the deputy county auditor.

STUFF BALLOT BOX
Republican City and County
Committee Has Trouble

Somebody stuffed the ballot box at
the biennial meeting of the Republic
can city and county committee last
night at the Lincoln club rooms.
With only twenty members of the
city and county committee present, on
the vote for treasurer of the organiza-
ton there were twenty-four votes cast.
d. A. Cudwerth, one of the candidates
for the place, said afterwards that he
had voted blank. The result Of the
ballot was a tie, twelve votes for Mr..
Cudworth and twelve for E. c. Mahle,
of the Second ward. Charles j. Nell
son and ]. M. Wyman were the men
who passed the hat
The original scheme of voting more
ballots than there were voters present
was treated lightly and a recount was
ordered by Chairman f. G. Warner,
who from long experience as chairman
of the committee, had taken the pre-
caution to count the men present be-
fore the vote was announced.
The result of the second ballot gave
Mr.. Cudworth the treasurership. The
comparative vote was not announced
by the tellers. Brief speeches fol-
lowed the business meeting, in which
several candidates for county offices
spoke of the purity of the ballot and
other favorfte subjects for. discussion
in Republican circles.
The meeting of the city and county
committee was a purely perfunctory
affair and had it not been for the care
lessness of somebody with the hat con-
tanning the slips on which We're repre-
scented the choice of twenty-four men
for treasurer when but twenty were
present, there would have been nothing
but the election of new. officers.
Fenton G. Warner, who had been
making his fight for reelection ever
since the day of the dual Republican
county conventions in st. Paul back in
June, was unanimously reelected
chairman. Charles j. Nelson put his
name in nomination. and it went with
a rush. G. Pope Spates, of the Sew
enth ward, captured the vice chair
manship after, c. r. Parker, c.. A.
Akers and H. B. Keller had declined it;
Theodore J. Gronewald was reelected
secretary after putting two or three
candidates out of business in the Skin
mishing before the meeting began, and
D. A. ,Cudworth was chosen treasurer
on the second ballot.
Chairman Warner named w. B. Web
ster, CA. AkerS,s C. R.. Parker, e. c..
Mahle and T. J. Gronewald a commit
tee to amend certain conflicting sec
tons of the constitution of the Re
publican city and county organization.
An executive committee of one mem
Der from each ward and four at large
will be named blythe chair the an
nouncement4 to be made on Wednesday.
The committee, when appointed, will
engage headquarters and manage the
campaign in connection with the can
didates for the county offices on the
Republican ticket.

rotary of war; James r. Garfield, son
of the former president and commits
