tests have been waged, with success,
for principles which were SO impOr
tsnt that no man who took part need
ever have regrets. AS the result Of
the last campaign, the most intense
Of all the contests, for the first time
the legislature was in harmony with
the party principles aud enacted into
laws the measures over which there
had been such bitter controversy.
Strife over the first place on the
ticket will endanger che election Of
legislative candidates who stand
squarely for the great prominent
principles of the party. The leaders
contended that the measures were
advocated because they were in the
interests of the people. That being
true, believe the people have now the
right to expect the benefit to be de-
rived from the enactment of those
laws, instead of being thrown into
another contest in the first campaign
after the laws have been enacted, on
account of conflicting ambitions of
men who have stood together in the
past for the same principles.
The people are now looking for re-
suits from past struggles, rather than
to engage in new ones, and today
many are justly asking: Are my
taxes any lower as a result of the
taxation laws that have been placed
on the statute books? Am / able to
secure better results from my labor
or account of lower rates of freight
OH the products of my farm since the
railway regulation law has been en-
acted? Is the primary election law
going to give me the opportunity that
those who advocated it claimed for
the laW-the chance to express for
myself, unrestricted by any dicta-
ton, my choice for candidates for
state and county Officer"
If the leaders in this great move
ment lose sight of the questions that
are in the minds of the people in a
scramble for office, possibly some
may have doubts as to their sim
cerity of purpose. / am only COM

HON. ]. ]. M GILLIVRAY
Withdraws From Guberna-
torial Race III Favor of
Gov. Davidson.

State Senator James ]. McGillivray,
who was the first of the three candi-
dates for the republican gubernatorial
nomination to formally avoW himself
as such, and who has been actively
cultivating the field in different parts
Of the state for several months, has
decided to retire from the race. This
is looked upon by experienced poll
ticians as likely to help Davidson
and thereby diminish the chances of
Lenroot, though Senator McGillivray
is not political boss and does not
possess nor assume to possess the
power of turning over to this man or
that man the votes which would have
been cast for him had he continued
in the contest to the end.
Senator McGillivray has written a
manly, characteristic letter announc-
ing his withdrawal. Among other
things, he says:
II hold that the welfare of the re-
publican party is greater than any
mans ambition, and each member
should hold himself ready to yield
his personal ambition for the good of
the party. I have labored long and
faithfully with the republican party
and have tried as best [ could to have
it clean and harmonic with the best
interests Of the people. 1t is my po-
litical home; not for gain, not for re-
venge or spite, but for the good of my
state and nation, and there is no per-
sonal ambition | would not yield for
the welfare of that party. More es-
pecially is this true when the party
stands for the principles of a govern
ment by the people and for all the
people. AS one member of this party
which has done so much for the state
and nation and its people, could not
afford to see it drenched in feuds and
rent asunder by jealousy, spite and
bossism, when perhaps | might aid in
preventing its defeat"
To all who have followed the course
of recent political events in Wiscon-
sin this is plain language, but Mr..
McGillivray goes on to use palmer
language still, as follows:
Granting that the situation in the
republican party will be sinlplified if
one candidate withdraws his name, |
feel it my duty to the party, under
the present unfortunate circum-
stances which have been brought
about by the action of our United
States senator, to make this sacri-
fice."
1t is not likely that many of the
voters who were predisposed toward
McGillivray can be turned to Lenroot.
Neither is it likely that friends of
Senator McGillivray will lose inter
est in the contest, now that he is out

than six months ago. Mr. Davidson
was one of the first to take up the
new questions in Wisconsin and dur
ing all the years never have l heard
any man question his loyalty and
faithfulness OF those principles. Dur
ing his service as q public official
there have been bitter personal feel
ingS aroused, when men on the slight
est proVocation sometimes accused
others Of wrong-doing, yet no man
has ever made such charge against
Mr.. Davidson. During the short time
he has been in the governors chair
his acts have been above honest crit.
icism. Placed il very trying posi-
ton, Mr.. Davidson has given every
attention to his office and tried ear
nestly to perform his duty and carry
on the great work left to him to per-
form. I do not believe the people Of
Wisconsin will be satisfied to refuse
him an endorsement and expression.
of confidence in order to crafty the
ambition of those who are anxious
for the place.
l appreciate the kindly intention of
many friends throughout the state
who have offered me their support
and urged me to become a candidate,
and have not been unmindful of the
many expressions from a large num-
Der of3counties where petitions have
been circulated among those who
worked with me in the last campaign,
expressing their approval Of my past
service to the party and urging me to
become a candidate for governor. Yet
/ believe when these loyal friends
view the situation from different
standpoints they will approve of the
course | am taking. When | reached
the conclusion not to endanger the
party by entering the field for COVER
nor, many of my friends urged me to
become a candidate for lieutenant gov
erpor. In view of the fact that / am
strongly interested in questions that
will be important issues in the cam
7 align, such as the regulation and con-
troll of insurance companies and 9TH
er corporations, and the development
of the railway rate law, after the ex-
pei1eEce resulting from practical trial,
have, therefore, concluded to be-
come a candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, and in doing SO / VIII ask the
approval and assistance of those who
worked with me during the last cam
paign and the support of the people
who believe in simple justice and fair
dealing in politics as well as anything
else. w. u. CONNOH.

HON. W.D, CONNOR
Announces His Candidacy for
Lieutenant Governor.
ENDORSES GOV. DAVIDSON

During the past few months many
PEOPLE throughout the state have in
quired as to my views on the present
political situation and for a statement
as to my personal plans. There has
been no wish on my part to keep the
public in a state of uncertainty, or to
mis!ead anyone as to my intentions.
Until now | had not fully determined
what course it was my duty to pursue.
IN order to arrive at a reasonably in
teliigent conclusion many questions
had to be considered.
1t is true, I would like to be gov
crnor of the state of Wisconsin, and
my personal preference would have
been to enter the contest, make an
honorable effort for the nomination,
take my chances and be satisfied with
the result. Conditions, however, are
peculiar. The republican party in
Wisconsin has gone through a siren
uous period the past six years. Con-

Should encourage a bitter conflict in
the state, dividing into factions those
who have stood together in the past,
and thereby endanger the principles
for which we have contended, and the
OF ortunity of these men, who have
been loyal helpers, from securing
some benefit for their many sacri-
fees in the past.
If we held different opinions on
questions of vital interest to the peo-
pie, then | would believe it my duty
to stand out squarely for those prin-
ciples. This, however, is not the sit
uation in Wisconsin today. II more
candidates for governor enter the
race, in the personal strife certain to
follow, we would be encouraging
those who have been opposed to our
party principles and running grave
danger Of furnishing them an oppor-
tunity to undo all that has been &C.
complished in the past. |, for one, do
not wish to be in any way responsible
for bringing about such a result.

THE WISCONSIN SITUATION.

Strong Endorsement of Governor Da-
wilson by the "Skandinaven."
The great majority of republicans
in Wisconsin will, no doubt, indorse
the position taken by Mr.. Conner. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
Gov. Davidson has shown himself to
be the very man whom the state and
the party needed as Mr.. La Follette's
successor In defense of the reforms
which have been secured, he is as
firm and strong as is La Toilette; he
will continue the effort to secure
further reforms, with practical COM
mon sense and a proper respect for
the will and demands of people. Why,
then, disregard the usual rule and
deny to him the nomination to which
he is fairly entitled? TO do this would
be unwise and unjust and would thus
weaken the party instead of strength
ening it.
Mr.. Conner says that he will be a
candidate for the nomination for lieu
tenant governor. He is the first to
announce himself a candidate for this
place and none other is needed. His
candidacy will unquestionably be well
received by an overwhelming ma
jority of the republicans of the state.
He has shown himself in possession of
an ability and answering loyalty of
which the party and the state should
make use. Mr.. Conner as the presi-
dent of the senate will inspire conf
dence and create a feeling of safety
in all progressive citizens.
The views expressed by Hon. At
ley Peterson in "Skandiraven' agree
with those of Mr.. Conner. The party
has but few men as generally respect
ed as is Alley Peterson: and it goes
without saying that Mr.. Connor's
word receives added weight by being
Endorsed by the tried old veteran of
Soldiers Grove. Mr.. Peterson can
hardly believe that Senator La Fol-
lette will try to force onto the party
a candidate whom the great majority
does not want; and kindly, yet ear
nestly, he points out. what serious
consequence this might have for the
rarty and for Senator La Toilette
personally. It is to be hoped that the
senator will take to heart this well
meant admonition, and will follow
the advice dictated by good sense and
true regard. This would be best for
all concerned and for the progressive
policy which the people demand and
which the party should follow.

attention to the discharge of his Off
cial duties and enforced rules for
constant and efficient service of en-
ployes. The state funds were care
fully and honestly invested and the
large amounts of interest collected
were strictly accounted for.
At the republican state convention
in 1902 it was deemed advisable by
the managers of the party to nomi-
nate a German-American for state
Il easurer and also for insurance
commissioner, and Mr.. Davidson,
much against his own personal wish
es, at the earnest request of the other
prospective candidates on the ticket,
consented to accept the nomination
for lieutenant governor. He took an
active part in the campaign and also
in the hard contest for the renom1-
nation of the state ticket in 1904. AS
lieutenant governor he made model
presiding officer and gained the per-
scnal friendship of every member OF
/ the senate by his ability, efficiency
and impartiality.
Pursued Business Methods.
During his brief term as governor
Mr.. Davidson has pursued business
methods of administration and mani
tested the same fidelity to the public
interests and the same determination
to discharge the duties of the office
for the benefit Of the whole people
without regard to personal or part1-
san consideration.
This reference to Gov. Davidson's
official record attests his devotion to
the interests of the people and his
steadfast attachment to political pr1n-
ciples which have been written into
the republican platforms Of the last
four years. His personal character
and official conduct are the best guar
anty of his future action, II nomlnat-
ed and elected to this high Office.
