THE PEOPLES OPPORTUNITY.


We have become so accustomed to
talking about the people selecting
their own candidates for the nomin-
alton for president this year hat 1t
seems as II presidential primaries
have been the common thing with
us. Az a matter of fact, we have
not had this privilege but are mere
ly counting on it for the coming
campaign.
New Jersey has always had a state
convention where local delegates
have assembled to name the dele
gates to the national convention.
This state convention has invariably
been dominated by one or two of the
political leaders and what delega-
tions have been sent to the national
conventions have gone. either In
strueted for the candidate favored
by the few leaders. or they have
gone without any instructions what
ever, which means that upon arriv-
ing at the convention city they will
vote for whiehsSsSunea2sSkfs Ne

with. This is still the custom In
practically al of the states, but
thanks to Governor Wilson q law
here was passed whereby the people
of New Jersey themselves can go to
the ballot box and give direct In
struction to their delegates to the
national conventions.
No politician would dare change
this law. although It has not yet
been put into practice. On the 9TH
er hand. the agitation is growing in
every state Of the union for the same
MINI "a q law 81 Lilo lily pSopic Sai
take the matter into their own
hands. Theodore Roosevelt advo-
Gates this practice. LaFollette also
favors II and. of course. the Wilson
men strongly urge the idea. The
only politicians who seem to be
afraid OF trusting the people to name
their own delegates, pledged to the
man they favor, are the re~actionar-
les and the standpatters, who at
present seem to be rallying around
Taft.
When the presidential primary is
held this spring the voters OF New
Jersey will have the opportunity of
going to the polls and the Republi-
can voters a. cast their ballot ex-
pressing their preference for either
TAFT or Roosevelt as their choice for
their party nominee and d Demo-
cratic voters can cast their ballot In
another box, expressing their prefer
ence for Wilson delegates, OF any OF
the other mero candidates for
the Democratic nomination. AS
soon a. the people OF the states can
got men In office in their respective
commemorative who can accomplish
such work as woodrow Wilson has
done for New Jersey, this movement
for presidential primaries will
spread throughout the nation.
There Ii reason to believe that by
1914, when the neat presidential
election takes place, the nominees
will be named by delegates pledged
to the people. instead of by delegates
named at a state convention donIn-
ated entirely by political bosses.

Wisconsin News Briefs.

Madison-Since the establishment
of the State Hospital for the Insane
in 1850, there have been lightweight
escapes of patients. In the official
reports they are said to have
.'eloped" at the Northern hospital
there were sixty-nine "elopments"
since the opening of the institution
in 1873, total of 1877 in the two
state hospitals. In nearly every case
the patients were captured. There
has not been an escape from the
state prison at Waupun in fifteen
years, when Frank Mc1ue broke out.
At the state industrial schools, where
the inmates are given the freedom
of the grounds under the parole prin-
ciple, escapes have often been at
tempted and recapture has always
followed.
Kenosha.-Ou in the little village
of New Munster, west of Kenosha.
Mrs. Johanna Kretschmer gave her
life in an effort to save her children
when their home burned as the re-
suit of an explosion of gasoline. The
children were caught in flames of the
exploding fluid and the mother went
to their rescue. Firemen saved the
bodies from the burning house. One
of the children, girl of Is months,
is dead, and the other, a 5-year-old
boy, cannot survive.

Counties Held Liable.

Madison.-Accordin to the decis-
ion of the state Industrial commits
sion, counties are liable for injuries
to workmen engaged in road i'm
provement under the state highway
legislation. The test case was
brought by George Edminster and
August Popke, who, it is alleged,
were injured while working in a
sand pit near Mukwa, Waupaca coun-
ty. When compensation was asked,
the county's officials were uncertain
whether township, county or state
was responsible, and the action was
referred to the commission. Awards
of $2SS.92 and $104.12 were made
to Edminister and Popke, which in
cludes medical expenses.

SEEKS TO ABOLISH
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Supt. Cary Proposes Change in
University Organization.
REGENTS TO CONSIDER PLAN
Special Meeting of Board Will Be
Held for Acting on the Resolution
Adoption. Regarded as improbable.
Would Shake University System.

MadisOn.-A resolution, which II
it is adopted by the university direc-
tors, will virtually abolish the gradu-
ate school of the state institution,
was introduced at the last meeting OF
the regents by Supt. C. P. Cary.
In accordance with the changes adj
vocated by the state official in his re-
cent criticism of the instructions and
management of the research depart
ment, it is proposed that fellows and
assistant instructors be eliminated
from the graduate faculty aud that
full university professorship. The
change would prove revolutionary in
the organization of the research
school and would cause it's probable
retirement
The resolution was referred to a
special committee consisting of Presi-
dent James S. Trottman of Milwau-
kee, head of the regents board; Pres
ident Charles r. Van Hise of the uni
versity, and Supt. Cary.
1t is not expected in university cir
cles that the plan of Supt. Cary will
be supported. The strength of the
state institution has been declared by
educational experts of national repu-
tation to lie in it's graduate depart
ment, the elimination of which, it is
considered, would undoubtedly prove
injurious to the university.

To Make Hog Cholera Serum.

Madison prevent the great
losses from hog cholera of last year
being duplicated during the coming
summer, the regents of the Uniyer-
sity of wisconsin have authorized the
veterinary department of the College
of Agriculture to manufacture hog
cholera serum. Sufficient serum can
be produced, it is expected, to meet
the ordinary demands and thus give
Wisconsin farmers an opportunity to
protect their animals with serum at a
reasonable price. The veterinary de-
partment is prepared to furnish in
structions for the checking of any
outbreak of hog cholera epidemics

MEMORIAL DAY EDlCT
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION ISSUED
BY GOV. M'GOvERN.
Wisconsin Executive Urges Wide
Observance of Festival in Honor
of the Nations Dead.

Madison.-The formal proclama-
ton of Gov. Francis E. McGsvern,
designating May 80 as Memorial day
throughout the state of Wisconsin,
has been issued. The text of the
proclamation follows:
.'Half a century ago our country
was engaged in a most desperate
struggle to preserve its integrity and
to maintain its place among the ma
tions of the earth. Nearly three mil
lion men in the strength Of early man
hood and in the prime of life Of
fered their services in her defense
Within four years one out OF every
six of these found a grave in the
south or returned only to be laid to
rest in the quiet Of Gods acre on
the hillsides and praries of the north.
For fifty years, since the warfare
ceased, the grand army of the dead
has been constantly recruiting from
the grand army of the living, until
now but few remain personally to
remind us Of the heroism of that
crisis.
''It is most fitting that the living
who inherit the glory and reap the
rich rewards such warfare has
wrought shall devote one day each
year to honor the memory Of those
who have answered the last roll call.
But as the nation mourns it's sol
der and sailor dead, families, too,
mourn loved ones, gone never to re-
turn. While veterans plant the flag
of our country on the graves of their
comrades and children bring their Of
fering of flowers, it is a fitting time
for families also to visit the last rest
ing place of their departed and Of
fer tokens cf their affection for
them
''In accord, therefore, with the
long established and commendable
usage, 1, Francis E. McGovern, gov
ernor of the state of Wisconsin, here
by designate and appoint Thursday,
May 80, 1912, as Memorial day, and
l earnestly recommend that every
citizen of the state give his assist
ance and encouragement in making
it's observation worthy of the occa-
sion and in keeping with the exalted
sentiments and sacred recollections
