Two Republican State tickets have
been nominated in Wisconsin Cover.
nor La Toilette and all of the State
officers whose terms will expire next
January We're renOminated The stall
warts nominated for Governor Samuel
A. Cook, of Neenah, and in addition
selected candidates for all of the State
offices. The La Toilette convention
at the university gymnasium elected
one set of delegates at large to the
Chicago convention. headed by HIM
self, and the stalwarts another set,
beaded by United States Senator John
c. SpooAer. The Ia Follette delega-

.Nseph n. Quarles, Representative

Same List of Electors.
The only thing upon which they
agreed waa in the selection of Presi-
DENTAL electors. The La Toilette con-
yention named the usual list of cleo
tors and the stalwart convention ac-
:epted it, but only upon the under
standing that it would be unwise and
unpatriotic to imperil the prospects of
She national Republican ticket in Wis
consin by naming rival candidates for
electors. Even this explanation was
not conclusive enough in the stalwart
convention to prevent a considerable
negative vote upon the proposition.
Both sides huve already begun prep
arations for TIE inevitable contest in
the courts of Wisconsin. Senator
Spooner has constituted himself chief
legal adviser OF the stalwarts, and it
Is his opinion that the matters under
controversy can be brought before the
Supreme Court as a court of original
jurisdiction and thereby settle without
series of appeals
Claiming to have been deprived of
their legal rights by the La Toilette
forces in the State Republican conven-
ton in Madison, the stalwart faction
walked from the hall and effected a
temporary organization of their own
in another place.
General Bryant, chairman of the
State Committee, called the convention
to order at noon Wednesday
The roll was called and then the
majority and minority reports of the
State Committee presented. The ma
jority report recommended the seating
Of la Toilette delegates from Ashland

County 1t also recommended that the
thirteen seats awarded to Sioux Coun-
ty be divided equally between la Fol-
lette and stalwart delegates. and finals
~ that five delegates from the Second
Ward of Milwaukee be deprived of
their seats.
