PREDICTS 5000 PLURALITY FOR

Lieut. Gov. W. y. Common, chairman OF

Taft will have at least 5000 plurality in

the votes Of many OF the ultra-l-a FOL
lctte men and that the republicans Will
lose most Of the so-called fair minded
democrats" who were brought into the
republican fold In the La Toilette cam
paigns.
Senator Stephenson who owns the prin-
olpal La Toilette newspaper In Wiscon-
sin and has furnished the financial re-
sources for his colleagues political cam
paisis for many years. Is giving Tart
strong support. Stephenson and La Fol
lctte have now come to a parting of the
political ways, and his loss is serious
blow to the La Toilette organization.
There is little doubt that an aggressive
campaign will he made against La Fol-
lettes reelection to the Senate two years
hence MIR, Toilette has announced his
purpose to take the stump and support
Taft In some quarters doubt Is ex-
pressed whether his speeches will be
helpful to the republican cause, for 1t is
generally believed he will read Senate
roll-calls on bills proposed by him which
his colleagues voted down. and call at

WISCONSIN FOR TAFT

bryan Stronger In the Statc than In

On the basis Of past performances the
democrats can hope for little from Wis
consin in this years campaign. Only
Wisconsin given tho Democratic party n
plurality in a national campaign, says
the Milwaukee correspondent Of the New
York Times. In 1892 Cleveland received
6,4S9 more votes than Harrison. Four
years later Mckinley led Bryan by
1862 votes, while In 1900 Mex inleys
plurality was 1O6591. In the last presi-
dental campaign MIR, Roosevelt carried
Wisconsin by a plurality OF $4,000 votes.
Bryan is stronger in Wisconsin than he
was eight years ago or twelve years ago.
was in 1901. Had 1t not been for the
fact that Governor Johnson OF Minnesota
was tardy In proclaming his willingness
to accept the democratic nomination for
the presidency there Is little doubt tNat
the Wisconsin democrats would have
been badly divided ON the question of
whether their support should be given to
johnson or Bryan. At the time the Wis
consin convention was held to elect dele
gates to the Denver convention there was
no candidate in the field for the presi-
that. for the first time In many years.
Wisconsin democrats were able TO get
together. There was not dissenting
vote against binding instructions for
Bryan. Wisconsin was the first State to
elect solid delegation for the Nebras-
kan.

REPUBLICAN, ANIMOS1TlES

This campaign aroused bitter animos!-
ties in some sections, La Toilette and his
friends resenting what they regarded AZ
an intrusion upon their chosen preserves.
The La Toilette men pointed out that
Taft had made no campaign IN Indiana
against Fairbanks. or I'm New York
against hughes and they saw no reason
why he should come into Wisconsin to
fight against La Toilette. While they
were in this frame of mind their atten-
ton was called to the fact that when
Taft vas in Madison last year he said
some pleasant things about Senator
Spooner and never mentioned La Toilette.
on top Of this the action of the Chicago
convention in sending the La Toilette
political propaganda to the junk heap
has not inspired the ardent La Toilette
supporters with hope that their idol will
be popular figure in the national capital
under the administration Of Mr.. Taft,
The democrats are planning to take adj
vantage OF this republican split. Bryan
will come to the State to make three or
for speeches and the La Toilette men
will be supplied with campaign literature
In which II will he pointed out that many
Of the La Toilette planks, rejected at
Chicago. were taken up at Denver and
incorporated In A platform which has the
enthusias site support of Mr.. Bryan.
