This time. however. he received the endorsement at the hands of a convention compos- cd of 6s5 1-2 delegates, whereas the call for the convention provided for L. 065 delegates.
 The convention was composed of strict ly La Toilette delegates. the balance of the total number with considerable allotment of unseated delegates in the La Toilette convention having gone to make up a convention at which an op- position ticket was named. With the absence of the least taint of opposition. every question which came before that convention went through with a rush.
 Following is an abstract of the La Toilette Republican platform adopted at the Gymnasium convention:
 The Republican party, of Wisconsin. through it's chosen representatives In regular convention assembled. reafiirms it's steadfast support of the enduring principles of the Republican party as expressed in national platforms and wrought out day by day In the admin istration of the affairs of the national government by Presidents Mckinley and | Roosevelt.
 Approve of Roosevelt. We record our unqualified approval of | the progressive, patriotic and courageous ] administration of Theodore Roosevelt. | We firmly adhere to the Fundamental | Republican doctrine of protection to | American labor and believe that the aim l of a truly protective policy should be to stimulate competition in the homo market and not destroy 1t by favorins trust combinations. We therefore be' iieve in readjustment of tariff schedule: in all cases where protection is enployet l for the heneft Of capital only to thu l injury of the consumer and wori<inl
