The Wisconsin state convention re-
suited in split which is likely to
give the state to the democrats. Gov
ernor LaFollette, who is out Of place
in the republican party, controlled the
convention and the corporation crowd
bolted. The democrats have q great
opportunity there. There is little
doubt that the great mass OF demo-
Gratis there are in sympathy with La
Follette's antagonism to corporate
aggression, and unless the democrats
nominate man WHO is right on that
ISSUE, LaFollette would probably get
the larger part of the democratic
votes.

Dunn and the Merger.
In the Pioneer Press of Jan. 3, 1902,
he is quoted as saying concerning the
railroad merger, then the subject OF
heated discussion in this state: Il
believe that the fight against Mr.. Hill
is inspired by rival railway companies
and l am heartily out of sympathy
with it because Of this belief Mr..
Dunn has never announced a change
of mind upon this subject. In fact, a
short time since he caused this inter-
view to be republished, with a state
ment that he stood by it, and in his
interview with Mr.. Hill, published in
the dispatch of the 7th inst, the latter,
speaking of the present campaign, as
sured Mr.. Dunn that he had his (Mr:
HilIs) "best wishes and also that the
figures to be obtained at the office
might help Bob" Because many
persons, including myself, have recog-
nized and seen fit to refer to this well
known relationship and intimacy be-
tween these gentlemen-which init.

Dunn now publicly admits-he found

First-Did you contribute any sum
whatsoever to my campaign fund when
l was candidate against the Hon.
John Willis, or have you ever con.
tributed to that fund in any other cam
palgn? II so, when, where, how much

with you in business or otherwise, any

Cmitting the address Mr.. Hills reply
was as follows:

ambiguous I would like to hear from
you further as to how far you wish me
to go into details in connection with
the matter referred therein. Yours

that Mr.. Dunn explicitly charged in
his speech, if correctly quoted, that l

individual use in that campaign the
large sum of money mentioned. It
