WISCONSIN, IS OURS.


We do not care to canvass the merits
of the opposing factions in wisconsin.
The people of that state can do this
for themselves. We are more inter
.ested in the practical situation which
the bitter fight between the stalwarts
and the half-breeds has brought about.
1t seems reasonably certain that this
quarrel will give the state to the Dem
ocrats if they act with wisdom and
conservatism. AS to the state ticket,
there is little doubt of this. The two
wings of the Republican party are so
nearly equal in numerical strength
that they must divide the party vote ap-
proximately in the middle. The Dem
ocrats united would, in any event,
have made the election close this year.
Wisconsin is little less devoted to tariff
reform than Iowa and Minnesota. Her
people are a good deal more independ-
ent politically. With the standrat
policy in full swing on the Republican
side, the Democrats should have come
near carrying the state against a
united party; with two state Repub-
lican tickets in the field, they ought to
win.
Republican leaders in Wisconsin are
comforting themselves with the pre-
diction that this fight will not affect
seriously the national ticket. Every
one versed in practical politics knows
this to be folly. Although the same
list of presidential electors has been
adopted. by the. two factions, it win
not avail. In /. the first place, the La
Toilette crowd are bitterly incensed at
the tacit support given by the national
administration to the other side. The
seceders are led by Senators Spooner
and Quarles and aided by nine out of
clever. congressman. No such unit of
action as this is possible without in
structions from the head center. Sen
ator Spooner is very close to the presi-
dent and undoubtedly has his SYM
pathy. covered over as this may be,
the mass Of the voters viii understand
it. Although the La Toilette people
may think it policy to pretend allie
glance to Roosevelt, their bitterness
cannot be disguised, and they will re-
venge themselves quietly at the polls.
Add to this element the number of
voters who, having been disgusted by
both sides, will vote a straight Demo-
cratic ticket all the way through, and
you have probable majority. If the
Democratic national convention names
candidate for president who COM
mands the confidence of the country,
and especially of such conservative and
level-headed men as the people of Wis
consin, we believe that he is certain to
receive the electoral vote of the state.
