W. D. CONNOR OUT
FOR DAVIDSON
WILL STAND FOR LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR.
NOT A TIME FoR STRIFE.

/
MARSHFIELD, Wis, May cav.
ID. Connor, chairman of the Republican
state central committee, who success
fully conducted the last strenuous cam
paign in Wisconsin, tonight made for
NAL statement of his views on the pres
ent political situation and of his per-
sonal plans.
He says that the people have the
right now to expect the benefits to be
derived from laws secured after strenu-
Gus effort rather than to be thrown in
to another contest on account of the
conflicting ambitions of men who have
stood together in the past for the same
principles; that people are today look
ing for results from past struggles and
are asking if taxes are lower as a result
OF the taxation laws and if they are get
ting better results on account of lower
freight rates due to the rate commission
law
Mr.. Connor, while admitting that he
would like to be governor, frankly says
that he cannot claim to be the one and
only one who is able to enforce the luws
and get results for the people.
Mr. Connor says that he does not be-
lieve that conflict should be encour-
aged that would divide into factions
those who have stood together in the
past, and thereby endanger the princi-
pies for which Republicans have stood
together, and especially at time when
many have made great sacrifices and
We're in many counties in the forefront
of battle, are now candidates for office
and when vital principles are not at
stake.
Mr.. Connor announces, therefore,
that he will not be candidate for gov
ernor. He says that he will be can
didate for lieutenant-governor His
statement is as follows:

People Asking for Results.

THE people today are looking for re-
suits from past struggles, rather than
to engage in new ones, and today many
are justly asking, are my taxes any

Chairman Connor's Statement.

During the bast few months many
people throughout the state have i'm
quired as to my views on the present
political situation and for statement
as to my personal plans.
'.There has been no wish on my part
to keep the public in state of uncer-
tainity or to mislead any one as to my
intentions. Until now | had not fully
determined what course it was my duty
to pursue.
In oAder to arrive at reasonable
intelligent conclusion many questions
had to be considered. 1t is true would
like to be governor of the state of Wis
consin and my personal preference
would have been to enter the contest,
make an honorable effort for the nom
nation, take my chances and be salts
fed with the result
Conditions, however. are peculiar.
The Republican party in Wisconsin has
gone through strenuous period the
past six years. Contests have been
waged, with success, for principles
which were so important that no man
who took part need ever have regrets.
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1906-05-31
Not a Time for Conflict.

Neither can it be possible that there
are not several men equally capable and
equally honest who could perform that
service.
The success of the party in the past
has not been due to the efforts of any
one man. In every county men have
made noble sacrifices and have had no
reward or recognition for their services.
In many counties men who were in the
forefront of the battle, giving every
possible assistance in the last campaign,
are candidates for office. / do not be-
lieve we should now encourage a bitter
conflict in the state, dividing into fac
tions those who have stood together in
the past and thereby endanger the prin-
ciples for which we have contended and
the opportunity for these men who have
been loyal helpers from securing some
benefit for their many sacrifices in the
past.
If we held different opinions on
questions ofvital interest to the people,
then twonld believe it my duty to stand
out squarely for these principles. This,
however, is not the situation in Wiscon-
sin today. If more candidates for gov
ernor enter the race, in the personal
strife certain to follow we would be en-
couraging those who have been opposed
to our party principles and running in
grave danger of furnishing them an OPP
portunity to undo all that has been ae-
complished in the past.
Davidson Deserves Nomination.
81, for one, do not wish to be in any
way responsible for bringing about such
result.
THE Honorable James O. Davidson
succeeded to the office of governor less
than six months ago Mr.. Davidson
was one of the first to take up the new
questions in Wisconsin. and during all
the years never have heard any man
question his loyalty and faithfulness to
those principles. During his service as
a public official there have been bitter
personal feelings aroused, when men en-
the slightest provocation sometimes ac-
cused Others of wrong-doing, yet no
man has ever made such charge again
st Mr. Davidson. During the short
time he has been in the goS ernors chair
his acts have been above honest criti-
cism. Placed in very trying position
Mr.. Davidson has given every attention
to his Office, and tried earnestly to per-
form his duty and carry on the great
work left to him to perform.
II do not believe the people of Wis
consin will be satisfied TO refuse him an
indorsment and expression of conf
dence in order to crafty the ambition
of those who are anxious for the place.
Il appreciate the kindly intention of
many friends throughout the state who
offered me their support and urged me
to become a candidate and / have not
been unmindflil of the many express
sions from large number of counties
where petitions have been circulated
among those who worked with me in
the last campaign, expressing their APP
provai of my past service to the party
and urging me to become candidate
for governor. Yet | believe when these
loyal friends view the situation .orn
different standpoints they will approve
of the course | am taking.

Await Benefits of Present Laws.

- AS the iesult of the last campaign,
the most intense of all the contests,
not only the state offices, but for the
first time the legislature was in harmo-
ny with the party principles and enact
ed into laws the measures over which
there had been such bitter controversy.
The leaders contended that the measur-
es were advocated because they were in
the interests of the people That being
true, | believe from the enactment OF
those laws, instead of being thrown in
to another contest in the first campaign
after the laws have been enacted on ac-
count of conflicting ambitions of men
who have stood together in the past for
the same principles.

A Candidate for Lieutenant G Governor.

when reached the conclusion not
to endanger the party by entering the
field for governor many of my friends
urged me to become a candidate for
lieutenant-governor In view of the
fact that am personally interested in
questions that will be important issues
in the campaign, such as the regulation
and control of insurance companies and
other corporations and the development
of the railway rate law after the exper-
ience resulting from practical trial, |
have, therefore, conclud ed to become a
candidate for lieutenant-governor and
in doing SO ] viii ask the approval and
assistance of those who worked with
me during the last campaign and the
support of the people who believe in
simple jussice and fair dealing in poll
tics as well as any thing else

Weather.cro Bulletin.

Des Moines, lowe, July 80, 1905. The
week was slightly cooler than usual,
though the day temperatures were
normally high and generally favorable
for harvest operations. The rainfall
was extremely variable, ranging from
q tenth Of an inch to over two inches.
Except in very small areas, the amount
of soil moisture is ample for present
needs OF the staple crops.
The conditions were favorable for
finishing the harvest OF hay, oats, and
barley, and in the larger part Of the
state these crops have been put into
shocks, stacks or barns. Threshing
barley and oats is in progress, and re-
ports Of yield show fair returns. In
the spring wheat districts that crop is
ready for harvesting, with good pros
poets as to yield. The corn crop still
maintains its high standard in all sec
tions, giving promise Of more than an
average yield. The pastures are very
good in all districts, except in locali-
ties where the rainfall has been def
cient for several consecutive weeks.
Late potatoes have been benefited by
recent showers. The apple crop is do
ing fairly we'll.

South Dakota Correspondence.
BY HAMLIN GARLAND

AS a general rule the South Dakota
farmer, after he has sown his grain,
and later when he had 'slaid by" his
corn, can await the harvest with
practical certainty of resptng profit
able crop. This year is no exception
to the rule. The prospects for a
bountiful crop OF small grain have
seldom been better and the harvest
is commencing with the bugbear Of
black rust reduced to very insignifi-
can't scarecrow.
In past years, there have been
seasons when the corn crop was more
advanced at this date than it is at
present, but observers Of crop condi-
tions aver with good reason that the
season is yearly growing later In
South Dakota. In several preceding
years, the corn has been late, but
only the light frosts appeared before
Z it matured, and South Dakota corn
is becoming so accustomed to this
bracing climate that it rather enjoys
an early frost than otherwise, and
the big ears roll into the crib sound
and crisp, apparently bigger and
better than corn that had more
!, rapid, early growth. In short it
seems that there can be no spring so
backward that the unfailipg hot
weather and frequent showers Of
July and August will not bring the
corn safely to maturity, while the
earlier cool weather roots and stools
the small grain IN surprising way.
Formerly the farmers talked to you
about corn years and wheat years,
as though season which was pro.
pitious to one was not good for the
other, but now nice adjustment Of
& the acclimated grains has been
attained and 1t is the rule to have
bumper crops Of both corn and small
grain in the same year.
And 1T all means prosperity to the
