The BaenSeh Address

oerS OF the Republican party Of Wis
consin, have drifted from difference
on nonessential into warning party
camps.
We believe the time has come
when the fight within the party
should cease. We believe that this
will be found to be the judgment of
the party, and that it only remains
to choose way in which it NAV be
given expression and it's command
issued. At the request of Judge
Emil Baensch we have undertaken to
orgaize the republican, of the state
for party peace. Actuated by this
motive. Judge Baensch has &C..
quiesced in the urgent request that
he become candidate for the nom
nation for Governor. We will active
ly and vigorouly promote his candi-
dacy, believing it to be in the best in
terests of the party, but he con-
siders his candidacy as only means
to al end-party peace-holding the
interest of the party paramount to
the personal ambition of any man,
and should the convention find that
some other name would more surely
secure harmony, that man will have
his hearty support.
Hon. s. A. Cook, actuated. as we
believe, by the same high purpose,
has also announced himself as can
dldate. While using all honorable
means to secure the nomination of
Judge Baensch we can but congratu.
late the party upon the assurance
that the nomination of any true re-
publican, who may be candidate in
this spirit, will command the sup
port Of united party.
The candidacy, however, of any
man whose nomination would mean
a continuation of the present fac
tional division of the party should
be discouraged. and the advice of
those whose political or material
interests would be endangered by
the return of peace should be re-.
ceived with great caution.
Because of local conditions in
various states, and the disposition
of the Democratic party to unite
it's factions with all interests
opposed to the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt, it can be truly
stated that the result of the coming
Presidential election is not one of
certainty, and it would be politi~,
cal crime should united democracy
in it's efforts to defeat his re-elec-
ton, be confronted with divided,
fractional, Republican party in Wis
consin. The vote of Wisconsin once
determined the result of Preside ut y,
ial election.
Let us have new alignment that
will stamp out factionalism. There
are no irreconcilable differences.
Our greatest concern to day should
be the unifcation of the party.
To united party can safely be
entrusted the settlement of all
issues.
In the efforts we propose making
for Roosevelt, Baensch, and party
peace. we ask the cooperation of all
who are in sympathy with us, with
out regard to past factional afilia-
lions. We invite an expression of
your views as we'll as sugges tions
from you as to organization in your
different localities. Our plan in
wolves a thorough organization of
the Republicans of the State, to dc
complish which requires both time
and money. Any contribution you
may be pleased to make should be
