Matters are evidently becoming
somewhat complicated in the reform
ranch at Madison. The admins
tration is so busily engaged in an
endeavor to run the judicial election
that it has given the state central
committee orders to postpone until
after the April election the fixing of
the date for the Republican state
convention. The rules provide that
delegates to the Republican national
convention shall be chosen at least
thirty days before the meeting OF the
convention and that at least eight
weeks notice of the time of the
meeting of the Republican state
convention must be given. The
state central committee, presumably
under orders from La Toilette, sim
ply ignores the eight-weeks' notice
rule, and the party has no redress,
except by deposing the autocrat
who has the party by the throat.
Has the party the strength and cour-
age that will enable it to do this?
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1904-03-31
Another Reform Contract.

The indications are that Gov. La
Toilette has given himself contract
to reform the Supreme Court.
Changing the personnel of the SUI
preme Court will necessarily prove
a slow work, and as La Toilette
henchmen hold that he should not
be retired from the executive office
pending the reforms proposed by
him, it looks as though there will be
at least one reformer on deck until
he shall be kicked overheard by an
outraged constituency.
AS an individual, Gov. La Fol
lette has an unquestio ned right to
cast his ballot for whomsoever he
chooses for Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, but his moral right
to use his prestige as Governor, in
conducting a campaign at the ex-
pense of the state, in behalf of Mr..
Kerwin as a candidate for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, may
we'll be seriously questioned.
We do not question Mr.. Kerwin's
ability. He is doubtless a good
LAWYER, else he would not be en-
ployed as the legal adviser of the
Wisconsin Central Railway COM
pany. For political effect, La Fol
lette is bowling himself hoarse
against railway corporations, and at
the same time he is personally con-
Quoting a campaign in favor of a
railway attorney for position in
the Supreme Court.

For Justice of the Supreme
Court, Luse or Kerwin?

A circular sent out in advocacy of
the election of J. c. Kirwin for JUS
tice of the supreme court and bear
ing the imprint of his physiognomy
is tissue of falsehoods with the sub.
terfuge of the demagogue. 1t as
serts that L. K. Luse is the candi-
date of faction, his candidacy pro-
NOTED by corporations and railway
attorneys while Kirwin is the non-
partisan candidate. This is DELHI
crate and intentional misstatement
of the case. Mr.. Luse is called in
to the race by the action of the at
torneys, who, without regard to
their party sympathies, solicited him
to run and he is supported by nearly
every paper in the state, Democrat
ic, Republican and independent.
Kirwin is the candidate of the ad-
ministration, while he is reported to
be the attorney of the Wisconsin
Central Railway Co, the Wisconsin
Southern R ailway Co., the Fox R;v-
er Electric Railway Co. and the Wis
consin Telephone Co. Mr.. Luse is
the attorney for no railway corpora
ton. On the other hand he has
been conspicuous and eminently sue
cessful in advocacy of cases against
the railway companies. 1t is well
known fact that Mr.. Kerwin has
become wealthy by his close alliance
with large corporations, and for him
to pose as the poor mans candidate
is altogether absurd.

There was noteworthy gather
ing in Ellsworth, Wisconsin, the
other day noteworthy for two
things: first, it was a banquet to
celebrate the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of man still liv-
ing,-second, the person thus honor
ed was a poor and lowly man who
had always been content to walk in
the humblest paths of life. 1t is
quite common for communities to
honor their rich and prominent citi-
zens in some such way-there is a
good deal of toadyism in human
nature at its best; but we do not call
to mind another instance in which
people assembled to express publicly
their respect for lowly man whose
only claim to distinction was that
he had lived an honest and useful
life. AS was said by the orator o.
the occasion, an eminent lawyer
from Minneapolis, the people O
Ellsworth honored themselves ii
thus honoring their simple bu
worthy pioneer; and he quoted Lin
coins saying that the Lord mus
have loved the common people be.
