THE FRACTIONAL ALIGN
MENT.

However distasteful to many the
terms "stalwart" and "halfbreed"
may appear, the words are express
sive, concise, and readily under
stood. We make use of them here,
not as terms of reproach, but as a
matter of convenience.
1t must be conceded that the half
breeds under the leadership of Sen
ator La Toilette proved too strong
for the stalwartS, who practically
abandoned the field, so far as or
gained opposition to the halfbreeds
was concerned. Having come into
undisputed control of the Republi-
can party in Wisconsin the half
breeds made the most of their OPP
portunities, appropriating nearly
everything in existence in the line
of Offices and official patronage.
Some of them plead for party har-
mony, but La Toilette wanted party
harmony upon no other basis than
the utter subsection of the stalwarts,
and he had his way.
To test his power La Toilette pro-
cured his own election to the United
States Senate, and then reluctantly
accepted the position after months
of delay. He next procured the
election of his most substantial
supporter, Isaac Stephenson, as his
colleague in the Senate Soon after
Stephenson's election to the Senate
La Toilette lost his grip upon him,
and the halfbreed dynasty began to
crumble, SO far as the dictatorship
of La Toilette is concerned. When
Stephenson announced his decision
TO stand for reelection to the Senate,
La Toilette let it be thoroughly I'M
derstood that Stephenson S reten-
ton iii the Senate would be extreme
ly Objectionable to him. Stephen
son ignored La FolIette's antago-
nism, and won out at the primary
election. At the platform conven-
tion a Stephenson man was made
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, and La Toilette
was turned down at every point.
This convention evolved Il new
alignment in Wisconsin Republican
politics with which the stalwarts
had nothing whatever to do. 1t is
a division of the halfbreed faction
into two parts, arraying Senator
Stephenson, Governor Davidson,
Lieutenant Governor Conner, ex-
Governor Hoard, and other trusted
lieutenants of La Toilette, against
their former chief and such of his
followers as remain loyal to him.
This means, without stalwart inter
ference, the retirement of Senator
La Toilette at the close of his pres
ent term, and the elevation Of Coy
ernor Davidson to a seat in the Sen
ate. Existing conditions seem to
justify this conclusion.

SENATOR STOUT ON THE
GOOD ROADS AMEND
MENT.

Every voter who is interested in
the welfare of the state should read
the statement from Senator Stout of
Menomonie. Senator Stout has an
enviable name as man who is in
tensely interested in all things that
make for general progress. He is
one of the fortunate wealthy men
who enjoy their wealth by doing
good with it. He has been inter
ested in better roads for many years
and sometime ago constructed at
his own expense a model country
road leading out of his home city.
His interest takes a practical turn
in all public spirited enterprises
that he is connected with and the
following statement merits the care
full attention of every voter.
Il believe that one of the most
important subjects 10 come before
the people of the state this fall is an
amendment to the constitution.
This important amendment will
doubtless attract the attention of
many voters, but not nearly as many
as should be interested. 1t provides
that state funds may be appropri-
ated to aid in building public high
ways.
That roads are really public as
they are named, and not the concern
solely of the men who live on them
is rapidly becoming accepted as a
fact in progressive communities.
When they are accepted as public
property it is only right that they
be paid for by the whole public.
1t is unjust to require the farmers
alone to pay for the roads, for good
roads bring benefits not only to the
farmers but to every citizen who
gets what he eats from a farm, or
who buys from or sells to farmers.
This amendment simply provides
for plan whereby state money can
be used to pay for part of the cost
of roads when the local people have
voted to pay their share. There is
nothing compulsory about tit is
simply step toward more just
and equitable distribution of the
cost of one of our great public insti-
tutions-the roads. 1t takes part
of the load from the farmer who has
heretofore unjuslly borne it all, and
puts it on the state as whole, where
it belongs. Every good citizen
should be sure to mark his ballot in
favor of this amendment and infu-
ence his neighbors to do the same. !"

Minister WI, the chief Chinese
diplomatic representative in this
country is general favorite. He is
a graduate of an American Univer-
sity. He speaks English perfectly
and can be slangy without an accent.
He can make speech and say brill
liant and humorous things. When
the other Chinaman now on his way
here to supplant him arrives he will
grasp his own left hand with his
right, kow tow and do every agree
able thing except commit kari-kari.
The retirement of WI will be dis
tinct loss to the Oriental arc of the
diplomatic circle. His successor it
is said is a semi-Amerfcan product
also. He completed his education
at Harvard. He has lived in Wash
ington. Possibly he may play golf
and bridge but he will not dance
the two step. Cinnamon scorn
dancing except by paid dancing
girls. Maybe the coming minister
thinks he will be able 10 promote
that Characterization alliance that
some wildcat journals have been
exploiting. The present minister
WI can tell him in the best Man
DARN dialect that such a thing is
absurd,

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

w. ]. Bryan, Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency, unhesitat-
ingly pronounces the Standard Oil
Company, and all persons connected
Herewith, bad lot. Taking Mr..
BRYAN at his word President Roose-
welt took occasion to. point out that
Geo. Haskell, of Oklahoma, Treas
urer of the Democratic National
Committee, was Standard Oil man.
Col. Bryan, evidently without wait
ing to hear what Haskell had to say
about it, promptly rushed into print
with letter in which he indignant
ly denied that the Democratic Treas
urer was in the slightest degree con-
taminated with Standard Oil, in eff
feet charging the President with a
fabrication. Impulsive though he
is, Roos evelt makes no positive
statements without something tan
gible upon which to base them, and
Bryan's bombastic communication
calling upon him for proof of his
statement concerning Haskell met a
sad fate when the latter, without
waiting tor the proof demanded by
Bryan resigned his position as
Treasurer of the Democratic Nation.
al Committee. Treasurer Haskell's
resignation may fairly be accepted
as evidence that he does not care
for a Roosevelt probe, and that
Bryan's confidence that he had
nothing whatever in common with
Standard Oil, was misplaced con-
tidence. When Mr.. Bryan virulently
condemns the Standard Oil outfit
he is hitting big Democrats as we'll
as big Republicans. The Demo
cratic party does not enjoy a mon
opoly of the political virtue of this
country, neither can the Republican
party be justly charged with all of
the venality and corruption to be
found in politics.
