Havana. Sept. 25.-Victory for the
liberals or revolutionary party seemed
certain at the conclusion Of a long
conference last night between The
committee OF insurgents and the
American peace commissioners. The
insurgent committee announced that
there was practically no difference re.
naming between 1t and Taft and Ba.
con and that they would receive a
draft of the peace plans today. These
probably would je agreed to at a
meeting to be held Ia the preside,
where the prisoner members OF the
committee are confined.
Taft said he could give no details
Of what transpired at the conference.
for the reason that II was now neceg.
sary to treat with the government.
leaders, and the publication OF the
peace proposals might interfere with
their prompt acceptance.
Taft and Bacon went to the palace
last night and informed President
Palma Of the outcome OF the negotia-
tons with the liberals. The absence
Of a definite statement from the com.
missioners makes Il impossible to say
whether the plans carry the resigna.

The republican party of Wisconsin,
trr ough its representatives, assembled
in accordance with the provisions of
the primary election law. affirms its
adherence to the principles set forth
in the republican state platforms of
1902 and 1904.
We heartily endorse the administers
ton of President Roosevelt.
We adhere to the republican doc
trine of protection to American labor,
but believe in the readjustment OF
tariff schedules in all cases where pro
lection is employed for the benefit OF
capital to the injury of the consumer
and the working man.
We endorse and approve the past
administration of Governor Robert NJ,
La Toilette as conspicuously progress
sive, honest, and economic, and point
with pride to his advocacy of faith

made to the people of Wisconsin in

among the important measures Sc
cured during his administration, the
laws affecting primary elections, the
state railway commission, and eouit.
able method of railway taxation, the
law prohibiting improper legislative
lobbying, and other laws of great value
to the people of Wisconsin, We ap.
prove the work recently done in con.

We endorse the administration of
Governor James o. Davidson, and his
business like conduct of the affairs
of state. He has never faltered in
his adherence to the principles of
the party as expressed in its plat

alton of his administration assures a
continuation of the reforms SO au-
spiciously begun.
We pledge ourselves to the enact.
ment Of law providing for the reg.

that now exercised over railroads.
The same reasons exist for control
ing the rates of water, electric light,
gas, telephone, telegraph, and street
railway companies and other pub.

should be enacted making it the duty
of the railroad commission to ascer

following is a brief summary Of the
present situation: There are ia tram.

There are forty-seven tramways having
their own power houses and there are
ten electric railways in operation and
FIVE more under construction. In add.
tion to the above there are nine tram.
ways and light railways now being
built. the particulars Of which are in.
chded in the figures which follow. The
figures show that the tendency TO sup.
ply electric railways and lighting sys.

In favor.
The ia combined stations supply
l.l9O miles Of road. or $50 miles miles
Of single track The forty.sevcn tram
ways having their own power houses
have a mileage Of $50. which Is equiva.
lent TO l.1so miles Of single track. The
first group Of tramways operate 5000
cars and the latter 4.36O. The follow.
