body, he has been in charge of campaigns
in all of the congressional districts in the
United States. 1t Is a significant fact that
the republican party has never failed to
elect a majority in the. lower house SINCE
Mr. Babcock was made chairman of the
committee. AS an organizer he has few
equals in political life. AS an energetic
far seeing campaign manager he has no
superiors. He has the confidence of the ma
tional leaders and when important ques-
tons come before the national committee
for settlement Mr. Babcock's views Will be
listened to with respect and they will re-
ceive the consideration his services ara
abilities command.
There will be expressions of dlsapproval
of this appointment from certain Wisconsin
newspapers and politicians that are deter
mined to continue the old personal warfare
in the ranks of the Wisconsin republican
party, but they will count for little. The
wing of the party to which Mr.. Babcoek
belongs Is disposed to confine itself to
consideration of measures and leave per-
sonalities to those whose interests can only
be advanced by such methods. AZ rep
resentative OF Wisconsin republicans no
man could have been selected who will
come nearer to filling the post of national
committeeman with credit to the party and
for the best interests of genuine republic
canisnn than Mr.. Babcock.
For many years Wisconsin has not lack
ed in influence in the councils of the repub-
lican party. Henry c. Payne represented
the state on the national committee con-
tinuously from 1888 to the time of his
death last year His standing as a member
of s.y.t body is shown by the fact that he
was elected vice chairman in 1896 and con-
tinued In that position in 1000. and that

NATIONAL COMMITTEE
EFFECT OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
REPRESENTATIVE BABCoCK.

Wisconsin republicans are much inter-
ested in the appointment of Representative
]. w Babcock to membership on the re-
publican national committee, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the death of Henry G.
Payne The faction in Wisconsin which
has opposed those leaders with whom Mr..
Pabcock has been identified. has set up
a great howl at the selection of a man not
of their own following, but 1t is said that
the appointment will be regarded by con-
sentative republicans as exceedingly appro-
pirate. This view of the case is set forth
in an editorial in a recent issue of the
Milwaukee Sentinel. as follows:
THE appointment of Representative J.
w. Babcock 10 the vacancy on the repuo-
hcan national committee caused by the
death of Henry C. Payne will not be cele-
hrated with joyful carols by the admins
trati9n faction in this state, but 1t will
strengthen the committee and make Wis
cousins influence in that body positive
force.

gressional campaign committee twelve con-
secutive years and, as chairman of that

Says Democratic Clubs Banquet Will
Not Be Discounted bv Irouuois.

The members of the Democratic Club of
New York decline to admit that the Iro-
quois Club OF Chicago. which has captured
Bryan, will have the best of the jefferson
Day lineup. President Fox issued last
night-a statement that Judge Parker would
attend the local dinner and added that 1t
was not true that Judge Parker refused to
speak at the dinner until after he had
heard that Mr.. Bryan and ex-President
Cleveland had sent their regrets. Mr.. Fox
explained:
Judge Parker sent regrets because he
had other plans. But, being an old friend
of his, ! saw him and urged him that it
was his duty to put aside his other engage
ment, which he consented to do"
Ex-Mayor Van Wyck, who Is at the head
of the committee of arrangements, offers
to bet 5000 the Democratic Clubs dinner
will have a more prominent place In the
eyes of the country than the Iroquois din
ner. The Democratic Club will have Tom
