COMPROMISE FOR
WISCONSIN CLASH
Stalwart Delegates to Be Seated
and Withdraw State Ticket,
Is Plan.
From a Staff Correspondent.

From Staff Correspondent,
Chicago, June 16.-S. A. Cook, stall
wart candidate for governor of Wis
consin, arrived last night on a train
ahead Of Senator's Spooner and
Quarles. The trio is busy to-day, but
there is a noticeable change of air
on the part of Spooner, who has lost
something Of the effrontery and bonn
bast which characterized his visit
early in the week. 1t looks as If some
body had told him that he ought, for
his own sake to say nothing of the
cause he represents, to be somewhat
more tactful in speech and action.
The opinion gains ground that the
national committee will seat the "stal-
wart" delegates, and that in return
the "stalwarts'' will withdraw the Cook
state ticket. There is nothing author
itative as yet, however.
On account of the interest in the
Wisconsin case and it's Importance the
national committee this morning de-
cided to take it up at 10 a. m. to-mor-
row out of it's regular. order. This
word has been wired to both the stall
warts" and the "half breeds and their
Headers will probably be here in force
/ tonight. The case will probably oc-
oupy the entire day.
1t is understood Spooner will make
the principal speech ,sof the "stal-
warts"
| - FYlipinos Admitted.
| The Filipinos will be admitted to
| the republican national convention
| with two delegates without votes, on
the same basis as Porto Rico. This
| was decided at a meeting of the lead
ers of the national committee last
night. When the committee met to-
day, T. E. Byrnes Of Minnesota, af.
ter making speech on the Philip.
pine claims to recognition, moved tina
the question be referred to the same
subcommittee which has Porto Rice
in hand. This was agreed to. Judgs
Willard of Minneapolis, who arrived
this morning, will make a full state
ment Of Philippine matters to thi
subcommittee and will later be on
of the two delegates from thes
islands. 1t is known in advance tina
the subcommittee will report favor
ably on both Porto Rico and Philip
pines and that the report will b
adopted.
When the subcommittee on Port
, Rico and Philippine representation t
the convention reported at noon
the whole committee recommendin
! that these islands have two delegate
each, but without a vote, some mem
, bers of the committee arose and !
! a burst Of generosity, there being n
contests to come before the CONVEX
ton, moved that these island dele
gates be given a vote. The motto
: was agreed to without debate.
