Two Republican State tickets have

nor La Toilette and all of the State
officers whose terms will expire next
January were renominated. The stall
warts nominated for Governor Samuel
y. Cook, of Neenah, and in addition
selected candidates for all of the State

the courts of Wisconsin. Senator
Spooner has constituted himself chief
legal adviser of the stalwarts, and it
is his opinion that the matters und II
