Former Governor of Wisconsin
Is Chosen to Lead the
Staiwart Faction

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 6.-Samuel
A Cook, of Neenah, has withdrawn
from the head of the stalwart Repub-
lican state ticket and is succeeded by
ex- Gov. Edward Scofield. The selec-
ton. of Scofeld viii be ratified by the
state central committee tomorrow Mr..
Cook issued statement to the public
tonight giving his reason for with
drawal from the stalwart ticket The
gist of his statement is a review of his
past utterances that he would with
draw unless a decision by the supreme
court was in his favor.
Therefore, in conformity with the
understanding when I became a candi-
date Mr. Cook says, "and feeling that
one of the principal purposes of my
candidacy, namely, to restore harmony
and effectiveness to the party, has been
made impossible by the conditions now
existing, I respectfully withdraw as a
candidate from the contest"
Mr.. Scofield made the following
statement:
1 have not much to- say. The situation
explains itself. Mr.. Cook has Withdrawn
from the head Of the Republican ticket
and as soon as the proper formalities
have been observed shall take his place.
am not an officeseeker, but / am proud
of the honor conferred upon me and shall
make an active and energetic canvass
until the day of election / am confident
that 1 shall be elected. have faith in
the judgment and in the desire for fair
play of the Republicans of Wisconsin, and
am certain that they will rebuke the
high -handed methods by which Mr.. La
Toilette attempted to steal the party con-
vention. l represent In this contest the
Republican party of the state and my
nomination comes through the regular
party channels. The only tribunal that
has passed upon the merits of the con-
troversy now in progress in the party in
Wisconsin is the national Republican con-
vention, which declared after a most
careful investigation of the subject, that
the opera house convention was the reg
ular one.
The question of mandamus proceed
ings before the supreme court to COM
pei Secretary of State Houser to place
the list of Republican electors in both
columns was left open, pending fur
ther investigation by attorneys for the
stalwart faction. The stalwarts have
determined to remain in the field and
have arranged for an active campaign
from now until election. The stalwarts
have adopted the name of the Nation
al Republican" and their ticket will
appear on the official ballot under this
name. The central committee of this
faction of the Republican party will
meet on Friday to perfect plans for Or
ganization.

Russia Must Account for Selling Mail
of German Steamer.

Berlin, July 16.-The foreign office
here confirms the report of the seizure
of the North German Lloyd steamer
Prinz Heinrich by the Russian volun-
teer steamer Smolensk in the Red sea,
but declines to discuss the political
features of the case at this stage and
does not indicate what steps it intends
to take The news reached here too
late for most of the evening papers to
comment on it.
The Tageblat says: "A speedy ex-
PLANTATION of this Russian action
against the empires postal flag is i'm
peratively necessary. Steps must be
taken that a disavowal is made and
that such Russian arbitrary acts are
avoided in the future"
The Lokal Anzeiger thinks the
seizure viii lbe most hard to justify
and says that if it is found that the
Russian action is contrary to the law
of nations, the German government
viii not hesitate to apply a remedy in
its widest sense.

scheduled to play the sun garden this
afternoon Zarbaugh came from Bed
ford Iowa, and was recommended TO

favor with the fans. SINNERS played
in the field alongside of Cole in the

Since in Topeka his hitting has been
fair and for that reason he displaced
Zarbaugh. 1t was planned to put
Olson on third this afternoon and
SINNERS at short and Friel in the

hard fight against the city on the
hog ordinance claiming that she
was not inside the city limits and con-
seQuently not subject to the ordinance,
IS now getting it back on the city for
heating her and proving that she does
live inside the limits.
She is demanding that the city
drain a big pond of water which has
collected near her home at Third and
Lawrence streets, in the east part of
town. She says that the pond is COW
cred with green scum, and that the
city will have to take care of it or she
will know the reason why. She says
the pond collects there because of i'm
proper grading of the streets.
The probability is that the health
department will have to condemn the
pond and order it filled up.

THE CITY PRINTING.


The State Journal discovered a few
weeks ago that the city of Topeka had
been overcharged by large number OF
dollars for some advertising given by
fhe city TO the official paper for the month
OF June. 1t was astonished that such
m thing was going on. 1t measured up
the advertising for the whole month
and was more astonished than ever at
the large amount being taken from the
city Illegally in a single month.
1t investigated the advertising for
other months and was astounded. 1t
became convinced. having the proof.
that these overcharxes extended over
some considerable period. and accord

The article created a sensation. as
our readers know. The council at
once ordered an investigation, the
ways and means committee met con-
tinuously night after night for about
ten days. showing that during four
years over three thousand dollars had
been taken illegally from the city
treasury and in direct violation of
four years. other Investigations
showed that for the last six years the
State Journal was the only paper
which faithfully carried out its con-
tract with the city.
Notwithstanding these facts. and
the absolute recovery for Topeka of
a large amount of money unlawfully
taken from it this paper has incurred
by its action in performing a plain
duty a number of bitter enemies.
Notwithstanding the paper has been
exceedingly careful in its statements
and reports of this whole matter, and
has kept out of its columns many
other bitter charges and intimations
offered in this same connection. the
paper has made enemies by its ex-
