IN WISCONSIN,.
Congressman Cook Apparently Holds
Key to the Situation.

Madison, Wis, May 1S.-Fecling be-
tween the factions prior to the opening
of the Republican state convention at
the University gymnasium was kept up
to high pitch. The question will
there be bolt of the anti-third term
crs?" was asked on every hand and re-
manned answered. The key to the sit
uation was apparently held by Former
Congressman Samuel A. Cook of Ne
nah, candidate for governor. AS Con-
gresham Cook had over 100 delegates
pledged to his support, any plan OF
withdrawing from the regular conven-
ton would hardly be considered unless
supported by the Cook element.
When the time came for calling the
convention to order there still rcma ined
many vacant seats. AS soon as the
delegates were seated, Gen. George l..
Bryant, chairman of the state central
committee, called the convention to Or
der and introduced the Rev. Il. G.. Up
dyke. who offered prayer.
Gen. Bryant then ordered the roll
called after which he introduced II
vine Tcnroot of Superior, as tempo
airy chairman. Mr.. Tcnroot was APP
plauded many times throughout his
delivery of his speech. President
Rooscvelt's name was warmly applaud
cd.
The afternoon session was taken up
in voting on motions to substitute the
minority report for the majority report
on the various contested delegations.
In each instance the minority lost by
about the same votc-565 to 40.

HALF CLOTHED
Was John Paey When Taken to the
Police Station.

Demented and half clothed and
suffering intensely from the chilly
atmosphere John Paey, a colored Ia
borer, was found at the corner Of
Thirteenth and South E street, yes
terday afternoon by Patrolman SUIT
ton, and taken TO the police station.
Paey has been drinking very hard
for several days and his friends
think that his demented cofdition is
caused by the effects of the liquor.
He was noticed in Thirteenth street
yesterday afternoon and several res
idents captured him and held him
until the police called for him. It
is probable that an effort will be
made to have him adjudged insane
and placed in Easthaven, as his
mind is slowly weakening.
