BOB. THE WINNER

DESPITE our admiration for Judge
Emil Baensch, as a man, and despite
our feeling OF personal interest in his
candidacy, as being fellow townsman,
we are obliged TO come TO the conclusion
that he is not much Of a harmonizer as
far az Republican State politics Is con
cerned. Onr mention of this IL apropos
OF the recent action Of the University
Republican club ut Madison. The re-
marks Of the president OF the club,
Joseph q. Fogg. on the subject are in
teresting He says:-'1 stand for har-
mony but it must not be that harmony
that repudiates the sacred pledges of
the party to the people, it must not be
ANYTHING to beat La Toilette. =
We do not take n great deal of stock
in this sacred pledgers Of the
party" cry. We don't believe in placing
party affiliations above the best in
terests Of the people and we emphatic
ally do not believe that Judge Baensch
was in any way proven traitor or
renegade. He certainly was not pledged
TO support La Toilette and, M far az
any moral obligation not to run ~ con
cerned we believe hia waiting, until
the then incunbents" had had an op
portunity TO get the traditional Second
term Of courtesy, was all that could be
expected Of him, and more than he was
in any way obligated to do.
But we quote the above remarks OF
Mr. Fogg, not ~ showing any particular
logic or sound political reasoning, but
~ showing simply what we believe TO
be the attitude Of the Republican party
in Wisconsin. The party has certainly
gone La Toilette mad and instead Of
being inharmonious, is almost unit in
its support OF him. The people of the
party resent the imputation that they
are harmonious and they fail utterly to
see wherein any Of the new candidates
can give them better brand OF har
mony than the one they now have. The
resolution passed by the University club
can leave no doubt whatever on the
clubs attitude in the matters, and it
indicates the general feeling a- far

RANDOM REMARKS

Ina very fair minded editorial on the
religious situation in France the Catho-
lie Citizen frankly remarks: In trying
to understand why France a Catholic
country-is apparently prose cutting the
church, we are met by two theories one,
that religion il dead in France; the
other. that religions orders, being anti
Republican, and mischievously active in
politics, have brought it upon them
selves"
