state legislature. To gain the next
step he must get a state wide sup
port, or have help from other stat
es.
The convention is the place where
political influence is traded. AS
country people come to cattle shows
to sell their hogs and buy moving
machines, so the politician expects
to trade his local influence for the
favor Of the wholesale plum distribu-
tors.
But national conventions have con
tanned many other elements than
this. Election as a delegate has beer
a reward conferred upon useful citi-
zens, much as in Europe they get
the Order of the Garter or the Legio,
of Honor. After you have serv<l
your party we'll and faithfully in the
minor offices for a number of years
the position of delegates to the ma
tionaI convention was a kind of fl
nal decoration, by which you were
retired to the shelf, and set aside to
make room for other claimants.
And the honor of this task has
had many attractions. The thrill of
conflicting forces, the participation
in historic act, must make an i'm e
preston never to be forgotten.
This year the differences in the
Republican party have reached a bit
terness that will leave lasting scars
The delegate has felt not so much
that he was a spectator at some e
vent of history, as that he was him
self a warrior fighting a battle with
former friends and brothers. The
pleasure in the sense of power and
participation in great spectacle has
been Overborne by the bitterness
and heat of the scrimmage.

MAKING 1T WORSE.

The Milwaukee Sentinel in it's re
cent editorial under the above head
certainly makes a valuable sugges-
ton to the Governor. The least he
has to say Of his action in the Ma
tional Convention as Chairman of
the Wisconsin Delegation the bet
ter The Progressive Republicans
in this neck of the woods are dis
gusted with his selfish action also
that of the delegates who voted with
him The people judge for them
selves and they cannot be fooled
all the time.
Made bad matter worse?' Of
course, he has We refer to Gov.
AlcGoyern's really pitiable attempt
to re-habilitate himself with La Fol
letism, and to the vigorous charact-
erization of his crawfishing, by the
senator's newspaper organ.
Mr.. McGoyern made an egregious
miscalculation in that break Of his
to Roosevelt He mistook a barraw
for a bandwagon. The glitter OF that
imaginary craftsmanship was too much
for him. 1t was like a baby grasp
ing at a sunbeam-and everybody
supposed that Mr. McGoyern had
cut his political eyeteeth some time
ago; or, to vary the metaphor, had
firmly grasped the practical truth
that for some time to come his bread
Is butteped on the La Toilette side.
Gov. McGoYern's labored apologize
for his extraordinary break. invoN-
ing the rather whining plea that it
was deeply strageticaI move to the
advantage of Mr.. La Toilette, seems
too sbsurd for serious discussion.
Mr.. COchem's letter of open feud
and defence made the true inward
ness of the whole equivocaI course
Of the La Toilette delegates who
phIandeded with Roosevelt too plain
for denial.
Mr.. Cochems. at all events, is nei-
ther offering excuses nor trying to
square himself by buttering La Fol
lette with flattery. The La Toilette
boat didn't scuttle worth a cent, and
for a man in Mr. McGovern's plight
to babble about acknowledgement"
on the part of Mr.. Houser simply
sets everybody on the grin.
'Mismanagement!' If some can
did friend would tell the governor
frankly what the man on the street
or the farm is saying about his own
'mismanagement" Of his mandate as
a delegate to support La Toilette
from A to z, he would subside from
discussion and let this thing blow
over, if possible"
