Last week many of the western
states held Republican conventions to
nominate state tickets and the G.. o.
P. was kept busy doing the honors.
In Iowa the ''stand patters'' knocked
the corn huskers' "idea'' into cooked
hat, while in Wisconsin the half
breeds, or followers of Governor La
Toilette, had warm fight with the
stalwarts or followers of Senator
Spooner and the half breeds won out
by very narrow margin, which may
find a resting place in the courts. It
is a bitter struggle they are having
over in Wisconsin but when the clouds
roll away the political atmosphere will
probably clear up. In Michigan there
was nothing but harmony and the
Republicans of that state fell in line
for Congressman Hit for vice presi-
dent. The Nebraska Republicans Sc
lected a candidate for United States
senator to succeed Dietrich and Con-
gresham Burkett was the lucky man.
The Hanna lieutenants in the state Of
Ohio were in the saddle and named a
ticket. In Illinois the party got
tangled up in long deadlock in
Which Governor Yates, Lowden of the
so-called "machine" and Deneen of
the reformers made hot fight. Al
ter fifty-eight ballots we're taken the
convention adjourned until May 31st
when it will try it again. California
and Idaho also held conventions and
placed tickets in nomination for the
big victories next fall.

deavoring to secure the best trade
possible by bartering the remnant OF
