THE NEW POWER IN WIS
CONSIN POLITICS.

William Duncan COnnor is the new
It in Wisconsin politics. He has de-
thrOned Senator La Toilette, 50 long
the leader.
Conner is a man Of great ability,
great shrewdness- He has demon
strated his capacity as a party leader.
The triumph OF Governor Davidson at
the primaries is due very largely to
Common. He built up an organization.
He went through the state, in a quiet
manner, organizing the voters for an
effective campaign
Where Senator La Toilette and
Speaker LenrOOt made speeches that
men called good and that aroused en-
thusiasm, Conner appeared later 70

who got out the vote would win the
victory
The LenrOot campaign was a cam
paign Of emotion The Conner cam

ton. And Conner won.
In Milwaukee a politician would
have laughed at the suggestion that
the Rose democratic machine and the
stalwart republican machine would

thunder shower OF Tuesday night was

According to the government meas
urement OF the rainfall, 90 hundredths
OF an inch Of water fell, and the
weather has since turned cooler.
The appearances for rain in the
evening were not very hattering, but
at about midnight the sky was over
cast and the lightning kept up rather
unpleasant volleying for awhile. The
cracks OF thunder were sharp, and it
seemed as though Jupiter's bolts made
a target Of the town every now and
then.
The rain, which extended over Sher-
