Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1904-02-11
DEMOCRATS UNITING.

president Is receiving the hearty sup
port OF great many Wisconsin dem.
ocrats. Expressions of opinion on
the subject by leaders Of the party and
by the democratic press, nearly all
show strong determination for har-
monious and vigorous action In the
campaign OF 1904. The evil tendency
TO disagree and divide, which too long
prevailed has come to an end; and
now the work which democrats have
in hand Is to get together, form n
more perfect union and recruit the
ranks.
At large and enthusiastic meeting
of the Jefferson club OF Milwaukee on
Monday evening, resolutions In favor
OF Mr.. Wallis candidacy were adopted.
The following are extracts from In
terviews and editorial articles:
Clarence j. Noel OF Marinette:
have looked over the south and
western parts OF the state, and | find
that the sentiment Is In accord with
the Wall move. There was no oppo-
sition among the people | saw after
Mr.. Wallis friends had decided to go
ahead and obtain concensus OF
opinion. / have received number
Of letters expressing n general senti-
ment on the part OF Democrats to
carry Mr.. Wallis name to the
national convention. Those who
understand the conditions throughout
the country believe they are such that
Wisconsin stands good chance ~ n
middle west state TO receive the nom
nation. The opinion of Democrats
whom ! have heard speak includes
Gold Democrats ~ we'll as Silver
Democrats, and all seem TO feel about
the same way and are glad To aid in
putting forward Mr.. Wallis name.
IL Ia evident that the movement for
Mr.. Wall is a success. 1t Ia not put
forward TO head off any movement OF
any other kind. IL IL n movement
conceived some months ago by friends
OF Mr.. Wall who believe this IL an
opportune time Of presenting him AZ
n presidential possibility.
Waubesha Dispatch No democrat
In Wisconsin is held In such high,
kindly and deserved esteem by his
party In the state ~ Il. q. Wall, OF
Milwaukee, whom 1t IL proposed by
the state democracy to Loyalty support
and zealously urge for the prcsiden-
tial nomination. The unanimty aud
enthusiasm with which the suggestion
has been received throughout the state
inspires hope and encourages conf
dent expectation Of realization. Mr..
Wall IL easily Wlsconsin's favorite
democratic son, strong In the conf
and we'll and favorably known through
out the east, and OF NIL tho eminent
gentlemen mentioned for the demo-
cratic nomination none Is moro worthy
or combines 30 many elements OF sue
cess. His nomination would reconcile
all factious differences In the party
aud warrant confidence OF victory.
He stands for everything democrats
believe In and hope for, aud In the
event OF his nomination and election
the country would be assured IL wise
and conservative administration and
n return to constitutional government
honestly and economically admins
tered. Let the party take advantage
OF the opportunity presented for sue
cess by nominating Wisconsin's favor
ito son, T.. G. Wall.
O. w. McIlhon, OF Mineral Point
al am heartily In favor of the move
ment for Mr.. Wall, for the reason |
believe IL would DO To the interest OF
the democratic party OF the nation,
because In his candidacy what has been
known since 1896 as the factions OF the
democratic party eau be united. His
qualifications In all respects as to
character and ability make him an
ideal candidate. No person who has
been u democrat previous TO 1896 or
since will question his democracy, be-
cause IL Is the simon pure Jeifersonian
type, and IL Is because OF this that al
democrats can and will be united II he
Is nominated In my opinion there
Will DO no factions In the democratic |
party In Wisconsin II he Is presented
by the democrats OF this state rs their |
candidate, and even though the demo-
Gratis OF Wisconsin may not succeed |
Ia having the national convention So
leot him as It's candidate for tho pres
idency, their efforts TO nominate him
will bury all fractional fights In the |
democratic party In Wisconsin, aud | |

principles OF the democratic party and
their success Is so noap to his heart |
that even though he should not DO Sc
lected, the fact that his candidacy had /
united tho democrats Of Wisconsin
would crafty him as much rs the honor
itself would. Count on my Jealous |
activity to help II along"
Il, c. Fielder, Mineral Point: al
have read with great deal of interest
the many interviews pertaining TO MIR,
Wall rs n presidential possibility.
Mr.. Wall is II good man and doubt
less possesses moro than average ahil-
ity. Nevertheless, tho question sug-
gests itself TO me, "What has MIR.
Wall done TO merit serious considera-
tion for position 80 high and Inn
portant rs that of president OF the
United Statesyn Mr. Wallis field OF
political activity has been local rather
than national, and | doubt II he is
known by the rank and file outside OF
his own state. The fact that the dem
ocratic party Ia lacking in leadership
accounts for the present jungle OF
