gressional seats now occupied by
Republicans. In fact, the threats
are carried even further, and the
leaders aver that if the national con-
vention seats the delegates at large
to the national convention who were
selected in the anti La Toilette con
vention, Roosevelt will have no aid
from Wisconsin electors in securing
majority in the electoral college,"
The question is as to whether the
Republicans of this state will COM
NIT themselves to such a ruinous
policy. Self interest would certain
ly urge all Republicans to stand for
the regularly-nominated candidates
in the several Congressional dis
tricts of the state and to vote for the
Roosevelt presidential electors.
The conditions of politics are bad
ly muddled, but it is to be sincerely
hoped that there will be found a
way to so arrange matters that the
state may be saved for the Republic
an national ticket. 1t was worse
than blunder that the state con-
vention, called to nominate state Of
ficers, should also be designated to
name electors of the president
Heretofore a convention has been
called early in the season to name
electors in presidential year and
the convention to name a state ticket
later. Especially should conven-
ton have been called this year eX-
clusively to nominate electors in or
der to keep national and state issues
distinct. La Toilette had his pur-
pose in calling both conventions at
the same time, purpose which is
portrayed in the excerpt from the
Dispatch. 1t is not believed that there
are sufficient number of Republic
ans in this state SO blinded by their
love of La Toilette as to lend them
selves to so foolish a conclusion.
Had the issue in state politics been
for "principles' instead of for per-
sons, then La Toilette should have
conceded the nomination for COVER
nor to Cook for it had been previ-
ously announced that Cook was an
advocate of the same ssreforms" de-
manded by La Toilette. And yet
there are echoes that ''the issue is
not La Toilette"

Republican State Convention.

All honor is due those delegates
to the Republican state convention
who SO manfully and successfully
resisted the desperate efforts of the
third-t term oligarchy to perpetuate
itself. The situation was an in
tensely trying one, and the cool
courage and careful deliberation,
coupled with keen sense of right,
with which it was met, shows that
the party possesses worthy and
competent leaders.
Under the call for the convention
ten hundred and sixty-fve delegates
were entitled to seats therein, five
hundred and thirty-three constitu-
ting a majority. Five hundred and
sixty-seven delegates took part in
the proceedings, the other four
hundred and ninety-eight giving
allegiance to the third term mass
meeting.
Having assembled in a common
cause, to sustain the principle upon
which representative government is
based, these five hundred and sixty
seven delegates, being thirty-four
more than a majority, deliberately,
calmly and courageously faced an
exigency which had never before
been encountered by the Republic
an party in this state.
In a fitting speech Judge Emil
Baensch withdrew his candidacy
for gubernatorial honors, and Hon.
Samuel A. Cook of Neenah was
unanimously nominated for COVER

State Institutions.

We have just received pamphlet
of 50 pages containing information
relative to the public institutions of
this state. The information was
collected and arranged by Gustav
Kustermann, a member of the state
board of control. Mr.. Kustermann
has our thanks for sending us this
information, and we are sure the
readers of the JOURNAL will be in
terested and profted by knowl-
edge of the contents of the pamphlet.
To this end we shall, from time
to time as room will permit, publish
facts concerning the institutions of
the state.
1t is probably known by most
people that much the largest part of
the state tax goes to support the
charitable, penal and educational
institutions of the state.
The State University is under the
control of an exclusive board, and is
partly supported by an income from
invested funds, but tax is levied to
supplement the income from these
funds, amounting to nearly $780,
900 for two-year period. The
Normal schools are also under the
control of a board appointed for the
purpose of managing them. These
are also partly supported from the
income Of invested funds, but tax
is also assessed upon the property
of the state to aid in running them.
AS these-the University and Nor
NAL schools-are under the direction
of boards appointed to look after
their proper conduction and not un-
der the state board of control, these
institutions are not mentioned in Mr..
Kustermann's pamphlet.
The State Board of Control has
charge of eight institutions: School
for the Blind; School for the Deaf;
State Public School; Home for the
Feeble Minded; Industrial School
for Boys; Industrial School for
Girls; State Reformatory; State
Prison, besides the Asylums for the
Insane.
SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND.
The School for the Blind, located
at Janesville, was established in 1880.
The name Of the institution is suf-
ficient expression of its object. Be-
sides the branches usually taught in
the common schools, vocal and in
strumental music, piano tuning, car
pet weaving, making brooms, nets,
hammocks, Gaming chairs, and doing
all kinds of house and needle work
are taught. The state defrays the
expenses except clothing and rail-
road fare. The average attendance
for the 40 weeks of school last year
was III. The yearly expense of
this school to the state is $4,000.
There are connected with the in
stitution IS acres of land. For real
estate, buildings and improvements
pertaining to the institution the state
has expended $23o,ooo. Pupils are
admitted between the ages of s and
81, any time during the year.

La Toilette Threats.
From the St. Paul Dispatch of May %.

sThat Gov. La Toilette is fully

the statements of his leaders at Madi-

which the governor is nominated is
not recognized by the party and the
governor given united party sup

that Democrats will sit in the con-
