MAY NOT DECIDE THIS WEEK
Whether LaFollette or Spooner and

Campaign Letter Writer
Gets Busy.

Madison, Wis, Sept 2S-The SUI
Breme court Of the state disappointed
the politicians, and did not hand down
a decision yesterday of the case be-
tween the LaFollette men, and the So
called "stalwarts' of the Republican
partly. Judge Cassoday was i'll yes
terday, and il was said that he wrote
the opinion and was its custodian ana
II would not be read until he was able
TO attend court. While the statement
has not been made 10y any person con-
nected with the state supreme court
the indications are that no decision
will be handed down today either. 1t
would not now cause much surprise
among those most interested if the
decision was not made this week and
the impression is growing that the
judges have not as yet even decided
the case or written the opinion.
Cause of the Trouble.
The struggle between the followers
Of Governor Robert NJ. LaFollette, who
are known as the "half-breeds." and
the "stalwarts," who are headed by
Senators Spooner and Quarles, origin
ated some time prior TO the holding Of
the state convention on May Is, 1904
when the open rupture between the
two factions occurred. The state CEN
trail committee which issued the call
for the convention was composed Of n
chairman agd twenty-five members,
sixteen OF whom were adherents OF
Governor LaFollette. The state GENITAL
committee made up the roll Of the
convention and in doing so determined
what delegates were entitled TO seats
at the opening Of the convention.
Allegation of the "Stalwarts."
The stalwarts allege that the state
central committee, acting as COM
mittee on credentials" excluded from
the convention, many properly accred-
tied delegates who were antagonistic
10 LaFollette and substituted men IA
vorable to him. The I.aFollette people
and the majority of the state central
committee declare this assertion Of the
stalwarts 10 be untrue, and say
that no property accredited del
egate was denied a seat, and that
the delegates who were finally admit,
ted to participate in the convention
