Wall Prings Message from Him to
Judge Parker at Esopus.
THE DIVISION IN WISCONSIN.

The Ssooner and Lafollette Squabble
in that State at Least Make
1t Debatable Ground
for Democrats.
Edward C. Wall OF Wisconsin and
Mrs. Wall were the guests Of Judge
Parker Wednesday. They are en-
route to Europe. Mr. Wall brought
a cordial message direct from VIM. j
Bryan, assuring Judge Parker that ne
is heartily with the ticket and will
place himself at the disposal Of the
Democratic national committee to 90
everything in his power to insure par
ty success this fall. Mr.. Bryan break
tasted with Mr.. Wall at the latter'S
home in Milwaukee July 23rd and
they spent several hours tngether.
Mr.. Wall said today that Mr.. Bryan
had been misunderstood in the east
and that the feeling toward him is
unfortuna e. Continuing, be said:
Bryan is Democrat and never
will be anything else. While differ
ing on some questions from delegates
in the St. Louis convention he realizes
that these questions were ruled upon
and has accepted the decision. He is
satisfied with the platform adopted
and thinks, all circumstances conSid-
cred, the platform is for the best In
terests Of the party at large. I will
nct attempt to say that he has aban-
doned any Of the principles he advo-
Gated in his campaign, but he thinks
that il he was right he will eventual
ly be vindicated. That, however,
will not turn him from what he be-
lieves to be the duty Of every Demo
crat to support the platform and the
ticket Of the party.
BRYAN's ADMIRATION.
"The admiration Mr.. Bryan has for
Judge Parker Is not halfhearted. He
said to me that Judge Parker's tele-
gram to the convention showed copr-
age and that. a man who could so
bravely confess his convictions is a
suitable standard bearer for the party
and one that every Democrat can en-
dorse and support with credit to him.
self"
Mr.. Wall was asked about the re-
pert that Mr.. Bryan while supporting
the ticket, would not speak directly
in favor Of Judge Parker's election.
He said emphatically:
That Is not true, and want you
to quote me as saying so. Mr.. Bryan
was twice given commission to lead
the Democratic party and at the st.
Louis convention he surrendered his
position Of command. But in surren-
dering that be abandoned none Of his
party fealty. Again, I want to say
be Is Democrat in every sense Of the
word"
Judge Parker was greatly interested
in the Wisconsin situation. Mr.. Wall
told him that while the State under
normal conditions gives 10000 plu-
rality to the Republicans, the breach
between the Lafollette and the "stal-
wart" factions is of such a nature
that 1t cannot be healed. He ex-
pressed the belief that if the Demo
Gratis who supported Gov. Lafollette
TWO years ago for the purpose OF ad-
ministering rebuke to the faction
headed by Senator Spooner and Con-
gresham Babcock return to the party,
there is 10 doubt that the Democratic
STATE ticket will be elected.
WISCONSIN SITUATION.
Discussing the division in Wiscon-
SINS Republican ranks, Mr.. Wall said
that while the two factions have
named the same set of electors, the law
enacted few years ago to take adVan-
tage of a break In the Democratic par
ty would now work against the Re
publicans. Under this law the same
name cannot..appear twice on the BAL
lot. The electors will be placed On
the ballot over the ticket Of the 'stal-
warts" or over tie Lafollete faction.
Whichever faction wins this distinc-
tion said Mr.. Wall, will get the vote
OF the party man who always vote the
straight ticket, but if a representative
Of the other facticn wants to cast his
ballot for the Republican electors and
his own State ticket, it will be neces-
sary for him to place cross before
the name OF every person on the ticket
for whom he desires to vote.
Mr.. Wall expressed the belief that
this fight will cause detection to the
Democratic ticket.
"At any rate" he continued" Wis
consin must at least be counted as one
of the doubtful States;
Among the prominent visitors ex.
pected at Rosemount tomorrow are

tional Com mitteeman q. D. Clayton
