Nav YORK, July 3 The New York
Press publishes the following article on
the Wisconsin situation telagraphed
from Madison by Jackson Tinker, staff
man sent ont there to get an unbiased
report Of the conditions politically in
the Badger state;
A study Of the situation in the repair
liean party hers tMadisonl makes 1t
clear that Roosevelt and la Toilette
must win or fall together in the Badger
tate If important members Of the
national committee believe that the
stalwarts' or jumpers az they are
cSlled here, can save Wisconsin for the
national ticket they should examine the
facts from a non-factiOnal view point
Senator Spooner, Henry G. Payne, SEN
ator Qaarles and the coarse and barly
Batcock cannot save Wisconsin FOX the
republican party in this election.
Payne is regarded here as down and
ont in politics, and, like Platt in New
YORK. as having run his course. Spooner
never will be able To obtain an endorse
nent for any position again from the
republicans OF his state. Senator Quarles
will not he reelected to the United
States senate next winter, and La Fol
lette men are Offering wagers now that
Babcock, although chairman of the re-
publican congressional campaign com
mittee. with large campaign fund at
his disposal, will be defeated for con
gress All this is the outcome Of the
remarkable action of the republican ma
tionai committee and the committee on
credentials at the recent convention.

MASTER OF THE STU ALTON.
Ia Toilette men are generous in their
opinion of the president They will
not believe that he Y-as party to the
steal of states representation in the
Chicago convention. but they prefer 20
believe the presidents friends were
hoodwinked by the plausible statements
of Payne and SpOoner that the state
was safe. Whatever happened. and that
would be harmony among Wisconsin
republicans But the voters have grown
intensely angry in cities and hamlets
since the national convention adjourned,
and Gov La Toilette again finds him
self master, of the situation, with the re-
sponsibility now transferred TO the
''rumpers" as to what shall be the next
move.
TIE issues for which Gov La Toilette
has contended for the last ten years
have taken deep root in the minds of
the people of both parties in this state,
and no action Of national convent
or OF any outside influence whatever
can cradle .te the deep seated belief that
the governor stands for the interests of
the people as against the trusts and cor
pOrations. in other words. that he has
been fighting the same fight that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has waged, that opposi-
ton 20 both arises from the same source /
aud that both really have the same foes
to combat in this campaign The La |
Toilette men are loyal to President
