rBY TIE TRIBCSE-4
CHICAGO, June 20.-There will be but
national ticket in the State of Wisconsin"
This statement was made TO The Tribune's
representative this evening by Senator Spooner.
As the La Toilette electors already nomi-
mated 8. requires little deductiye power TO per-
cs,ys the fun Importance OF Senator Spooner's
declaration
The .-Stalwarts" still hope that the Supreme
Court VII issue nandamus requiring the Sec
Rotary Of State TO place the electors already
chosen at the head Of the "Stalwart" ticket.
but II the court does not do SO. or if IL holds
that the electors have right under the law
10 choose where their names shall be placed, the
"stalwarts" will place no electoral ticket in
the field. and viii permit their opponents TO go
into the fight with the material advantage of
the national electors at the head OF their State
ticket
Just before the meeting of the National Com
rnittee representatives of Governor La Toilette
were asked 81 they, assuming that the conNen-
ton and the court decided adversely 10 their
claims, would permit the 'Stalwart" ticket 10
90 into the field with the only national electors
sacrificing the advantage Of having electors al
the head Of the La Toilette ticket In the interest
Of the President.
With one accord they declared that they would
do nothing of the kind. They proposed TO make
one electoral ticket in the field he must procure
from the National Committee and the conVen-
ton 2 decision in accord with Governor La Fol-
lette's rights
At that time the La Toilette supporters said
that they could carry the State for Roosevelt
even with TWO sets OF electors, but to-day lHes
say that if there are tao sets of electors in the
field it will mean that the Democrats VIII carry
the State This IS the view held by the "stai-
warts" but they declare. told above that
they viii make any sacifice, no matter no" pl'-
ter, TO save Theodore Roosevelt.
Senator Spooner's statement was not maze
until he had been assured that the national
convention would affirm the decision OF the
national committee. The committee on Gre
dentials is nearly completed, and IN almost
every instance the members are favorable 10
the "Stalwart" cause, in so far as they can DC
IN advance OF the presentation OF the cases II
is too early TO say that the decision OF the
Credentials committee will be unanimous but
the indications point that way
The organ Of the La Toilette faction puphsheu
al extended and abusive TRADE against inc
national committee yesterday morning anu
this has so angered members OF that pooy lh@'
they are NOW working to insure the confirma-
ton OF their verdict by the committee on Gre
dentaIs. They declare that it is Incompetent
sible that a newspaper calling itself Republican
should have been guilty Of publishing such
fragrant and unwarranted attack. ard they are
convinced TO a man of the correctness OF 'he
statement OF the "Stalwarts" that La Toilette
and his followers not Republicans Inc
most grievous portion Of the attack so Tar as
members Of the national committee are con-
cerned is the vilihcation Of Senators Hanna
and Quay. 10 whose memory the committee SO
recently paid high tribute.
,..wua cf.r "a
few whose attention IL has been called 10
mean the clearing Of the political SITUATION IN
Wisconsin and while IL is still a question
whethe. or not the Democrats can carry the
State IN any event, il is asserted WITH every
