SPOONER ON WISCONSIN
NO DANGER THREATENS THE
ELECTORAL TICKET.
However the State May Cocaine
Here to Consult on Turkish
Situation.

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin is IN town
and very much sought after by the polite
ians They all want to know how 1t fares
in Wisconsin, Whats all this talk or the
democrats about the possibility of the re-
publicans losing the electoral vote OF WIS
consin on account of your factiona4 hghs
with La Follette?" they ask.
Senator Spooner runs his fingers through
his hair looks fierce for a moment or TWO,
then takes another chew of plug cut ana
smiles.
..Bosh." he says. emphatically Tommy
rot; we won't lose the electoral vote any
way it Is figured" Then he drys up; not
another word That Is, not another word
for publication.
No Danger to the Electoral Ticket.
But to his friends the senator talks
frankly. He does not believe that, danger
threatens the electoral ticket. AS. to the
state ticket. he is frank to say he
does not know what will be the
outcome. The supreme court of Wis
consin yesterday received the petition OF
the anti Toilette faction for a hearing on
the question of the legal arrangement or
the ballot The other side will have twenty
days to make answer. From the fact that
the court. without leaving the bench. di-
pear that the court assumes that jurfsd!c-
ton of the subject lies. But even that
question is open
The anti-LaFolette men confident
that they have the right on their side in
the squabble. but no matter which way the,
court decides, they think the electoral
ticket will be safe
The Spooner faction are confident that
whatever the decision of the court. it will
carry the electoral ticket into the regular
republican column in the ballot and thus
insure every republican vote in the state
for Roosevelt A possibility of split bal
lot is Il danger which has been sought.
Why Spooner Came Here.
1t is said that Senator SpoOner did not
come to Washington to discuss Wisconsin
politics. however. but was called into con-
sultation over the Turkish situation. AS a
member of the committee on foreign rela-
lions of the Senate and a recognized au-
thority upon constitutional and internal
tional law. his advice was deemed timely
in connection with pending trouble with
Turkey.
