"STALWARTS" PUT OUT BRIEF
Argument In Support of Its Delegates
Ready for National Committee.

MADISON, Wis, June THE
SpoOner or anti-La Toilette faction of
the republican party of Wisconsin has
prepared it's preliminary brief or ar
gument in support of its candidates for
seats as delegates from Wis
consin to the national republican con-
vention, and has forwarded copies of
it to Elmer Dover, secretary of the
national committee.
The document was written by Attor
ney John NJ. DIN, whom the anti-La
them in the fight. 1t has been APP
proved by Senator John c. Spooner,
Senator j. V. Quarles, Congressman
J. w. Babcock. Judge Emil Baensch,
delegates large elected by the anti
La Toilette state convention.
Attorney Charles Quarles. brother Of
Senator Quarles, and generally regard
ed as one of the foremost lawyers of
the state, carefully went over the doc
ument and gave it his approval.
The document sets forth that the an
ti-La Toilette convention had a ma
jority of the regularly elected and ac
credited delegates to the state cOnven-
ton. and when the state central com
mittee unseated enough of the contest
ed delegates to swing the majority in
La Toilette, the "antis' or 'majority
of the regularly elected delegates, as it
is put. held a regular convention and
nominated state ticket and a set of
presidential electors.
The plea in a nutshell, is that the
antiLa Toilette men had majority
of the delegates regularly elected, and
that the state central committee had
no power to decide the contests in such
majority in the temporary organization
that would determine the contests.
From the anti-La Toilette stand
point it is a strong and forceful pres
entatiOn of that side of the case. The
big fight Will be before the national
convention at Chicago. All of the
plans of both factions lead to that as
sumption. The brief just issued by
the 'stalWarts" indicates that the La
Toilette forces are on the defensive.
but they are watching every move and
are prepared to combat every argu-
ment presented by the "antis.' The
governor, who is lawyer himself is
remarkably magnetic man. an
accomplished orator and a wonderful
vote getter. He will doubtless appear
before the national committee. The
anti-La Toilette men have been on the
aggressive and the "halfbreeds' have
not yet had a chance to reply. How
ever. it is expected they will do so in
a few days.

in the state. Probably that talk over
states the real facts. Such talk usual
" does. and it is safe to discount it
literally.
But allowing for even small
amount of disaffeCtion continuing to
election day, the party might lose
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 votes,
and that might be two or three times
the margin by which the state will be
carried.
1t is, therefore, important that Gov
ernor Odell, who is very loyal tc
Roosevelt, and anxious to do all he
can to have him elected to be careful
in the makeup of the state ticket.
Once that ticket is in the field. the ex-
tent of the republican disaffectlon
ought to be easily discernible.

THE CHURCH AFFAIR
MILTON MINISTER DECLINES A
YEARS PAsT0RATE.
Mr. Ingle Has No Apology to Offer
and Is Given More Time 10
Consider.

Milton, March 22.-The Cartwright
Ingle affair, which has been closed to
the outside world for the last few days,
was given an airing last Sunday in the
Christian Church.
On Saturday the word was circulated
around that Ingle would make confes-
sion and repent of his acts in the affair
and vote of the members would be ia
ken to ascertain whether they re-engage
Rev. Cartwright another year or not.
True to the instinct of human nature,
the house was filed to it's utmost at the
service hour. Rev. Childers preached
a sermon on "Brotherly Love-" which
seemed appropriate for the occasion.
At IL O'Clock the officers we're called
and business session convened for the
above stated reasons.
The object Of the meeting was stated
and Mr.. Ingle was asked for his views,
which he, backed up by Bible scenes,
such as the dividing Of the aocks be-
cause the pastures were short, and the
| two New Testament men because they
couldn't both see alike, when one went
one way and one the other, gave in
brief and concise manner, but thought
as Cartwright always has been offensive
to him, he Cartwright should go and
let him have the barns, stock, pastures
and all; in other words, he hadn't any
thing to repent of or apologize for.
The officers and church couldn't quite
see as Mr.. Ingle did, and gave him one
more week to consider the matter.
Rev. Cartwright confessed his wrongs
and apologized. The next in order was
the voting contest, but Mr.. Cartwright
stated that owing to the circumstance
which surrounded the church at this
time, he wouldn't accept the position
though he we're unanimously elected
| hence no vote was taken and the church
is still without preacher.

DRINKS ACID SOLUTION.
TenIe Williamson Leaves Curse On
Heads of Two Men.

Heads of Two Men.
Pendleton, March 24.-Tenie Will
iamson, 17-year-old girl, took her life
this morning by dissolving bi-chloride
tablets in water and drinking the mix
ture. A full bottle of the tablets was
taken by the girl and she was soon
writhing in agony.
Physicians were summoned and did
all in their power, but with 20 avail as
the corroding liquid had so burned the
lining of the throat that the membrane
sloughed off and choked her, and she
died in great agony short time after
the doctors reached the house.
Before dying, the girl stated to the
doctors that she had tired Of life, and
wished to end it. A short note in an
envelope and addressed to Charley
Wall was found on the table in the
room occupied by the girl when she
took the poison. 1t read: "When / am
dead, send this letter to Charley Wall
with my curse and hate for Elm, who
has made me what am. Goodbye for
the last time. Tenie."
Another letter was found in the room
which had been written on Friday,
February 26, and which had been ad-
dressed to "Dear Sweetheart" II
stated that when the letter reached the
one it was intended that she would be
far away and would never be heard OF
again.
The girl, in company with another
named Ollie Maurer, had been in Mis-,
soula for some days and the Williamson
girl returned home last night in de.
spondent frame of mind. The East
Oregonian says it is stated that the girl
left letter for Bert Montgomery, in
which she accused him of wrecking her
life and cursed him for his share in her
trouble.
