1t is said that the most disgusting

Political COmpIiC8fiOHS In Wisconsin.

| Milwaukee journal,
The law requires nominations by
party conventions, embracing more
than one county, to be filed not more
than forty days before election and
not less than twenty. Nomination
papers, nominations by petition, may
be flied not less than fifteen days
before. Unless some way can be
found to get into court earlier, the
secretary of state can delay his deci-
sion till the last moment and then
decide that the LaFollette ticket is
the regular one. What show then
have the Stalwarts?
Either faction can Lave its petit
ton ready and file within the five
extra days allowed for them and so
get on the ticket by nomination pap
ers in case of defeat by the courts or
the secretary. The rule requiring
candidates nominated on two tickets
to choose on which their names
shall be placed, and the possible fact
that two tickets will appear on the
ballot, will embarass the electors
and the congressman. This attempt
to control procedure in party caucus
es and conventions by statute has
made an awful middle in practice.
| But, we are now assured, the ques-
ton of regularity viii be brought in
to the supreme court, which will be
governed by its Interpretation of the
statutes. There is very little prece-
dent in other states. suppose the
LaFollette ticket to win. How will
the Stalwarts get on the ballot?
They must go as a faction; will

maintain their party organization in
the state, no matter what the deci-
sion of the court may be. All this
comes of legislative interference
with party government. 1t Is no part
OF our purpose TO decide which is
right or what ought to be Gone; we
just present the problem ald its as
poets at the present time.
The Democrats expect to make
something out of this muddle. They
stand to gain and 70 lose. LaFollette
is bidding with marvellous suavity
for those Poplists who will not stand
for Parker. He will get them. But
In the legislative contest, where two
Republican candidates appear, the
Democrats may easily succeed in
electing their man. The chances for
carrying the legislature are much
better than for carrying the state. Is
this the meaning of the peculiar
leadership OF Mayor Rose? Has be
his eye on the legislature and the
Populist-Bry element, which may
easily hold the balance OF power in
electing a senator?
All this is true for the Democrats,
whichever faction gets the seal of
regularity. If LaFollette gets it, the
chance of the Democratic ticket is
probably lessened. Populist defec-
ton will be about the same or in
creased. The Stalwarts may go to
pieces or stay at home. 1t is hard
for a Stalwart, however much he
may quarrel, to bolt his ticket at the
polls. The Stalwarts have protested
that they would have yielded, as the
Half Breeds did not, to the decision
of the national convention. Will
they yield to decision of the court?
Why not?
