as follows:
Though the next general election
is more than year distant, and, I'M

pressure brought to bear upon me to
make an early declaration as to my
intentions, that | deem it due to my
friends and the republican party to
state at this time that | shall be a
candidate iur the nomination of gov
ernor at the September primary cleo
ton.
4 have arrived at this decision
after a great deal of deliberation and
with considerable reluctance, as my
personal inclinations were in another
direction. However, leaders of our
party from all portions of the state,
express their belief that my candidacy
is necessary to insure the continu-
alton of the work so splendidly inau
gurated by Governor La Toilette, and
their judgment l do not feel | have
a right TO ignore.
1T is too early to make any extend
ed announcement as to particular is
sue. but | win say that in the primary
election contest l shall advocate the
principles Of the last republican state
platform, and if elected | shall do
what | can to perpetuate truly rep
resentatiye government in Wisconsin.
