in one of the hardes. political fights
ever seen in Wisconsin, Governor La
Toilette is in full control of the Re
publican state convention here today
and his denomination is conceded on
all sides So far as 1t goes the vic
tory is complete, but lively times
are yet to come If the governor at
tempts to dictate the selection Of dele
gates at large to the national conven-
tion. His aim is to prevent Senators
Spooner and Quarles from going to
Chicago as delegates at large, and
were he able to control the Wisconsin
he would lose no time In
retiring Henry C. Payne from the Re-
publican national committee. It is not
believed however, that his power will
extend that far.
The platform will express commen-
dation of the wise, patriotic and pro-
administration of President
Roosevelt, to whom promises will be
made of renewed allegiance and sup
port In regard to state issues the
will declare for railroad
rate commission, equalization of
axes, and Endorsement of the pri-
nary election law, which will be
1oted on at the fall election.
