PURSUANT to law a meeting of the
delegates of the democratic Nation
ell convention, elected at the prima-
ries at the recent election held
throughout Wisconsin, will be held in
Milwaukee today, together with the
members of the State Central COM
mittee who have arranged to meet
at the same time. The business of
the meeting is to name the demo
cratic presidential electors and the
state central committee to choose
the alternates to the democratic
national convention. AS far as the
alternates are concerned it is said
that where Wilson delegates have
been chosen Wilson alternates will
beselectedand where Clark delegates
have been chosen Clark alternates
will be selected. One important
question will have to be settled, as
to whether a state convention shall
be called for the making of plat
form. The sentiment seems to be
against the recommendation of can
didates for nomination for state
officers. The meetings are being
held at the Plankinton house.

JOSEPH E. DAVIES of Madison,
democratic national committeeman
of Wisconsin, has taken charge of
the western headquarters of the
Woodrow Wilson campaign at Chi
cago at the request of William T.
McCooms of New York and Senator
Gore, in general direction of the
Wilson supporters. Davies will or
ganize the Wilson forces of the en-
tire west and will launch the fight
in Nebraska, where primaries are
to held soon in few days. Com
menting on the result of the Illi-
nois election, Mr.. Davies declared
that the anticipated victory in
Pennsylvania will more than offset
the Illinois defeat. The Illinois
campaign, he stated, had been re-
stricted entirely to publicity effort,
and no Wilson workers were at the
polls.

A quiet home wedding was that
which occurred at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph e. Davies, (Wednes-
day evening, April 10th,) North Liv-
ingston street, when Mrs. Davies sis
ter, Miss Pauline Knight of Madison,

ing of Wausau. Rev. A. A. Ewing,
rector of Grace Episcopal church, read
the marriage service, at which were
present only the immediate members
of the families of the bride and groom.
The rooms, decorated only in Easter
lilies, formed a hitting environment
for the ceremony, which embodied
both simplicity and beauty. Miss
Knight had no attendant, the only
other member of the bridal party,
besides the groom, being little Eleanor
Davies, who preceded the couple to
the improvised bower carrying a bas-
ket of choice flowers.
The guests who assembled for the
occasion were Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Gooding and Donald Gooding, of
Wausau, parents and brother of the
the groom; Mr.. and Mrs. Perciyal M.
Cochrane CT Elkhart, Indiana, Mrs.
Coehrane being sister of the bride;

The Titanic Sinks.

The Titanic, the largest ocean
steamer in the world, crushed her
bow line IN a great submerged
mountain of ice yesterday after
noon, 600 miles off Halifax, n. s..
Wireless messages reached near by
ports and vessels were rushed to its
assistance. The morning papers
say that the steamer sank
and that 1886 we're drowned and
go were saved. Passengers from
Milwaukee and Fond du Lac are
probably drowned. This is one of
the most appalling catastrophes
known in the worlds history.

Benevolent Mule.

A farmer cnce bought mule at the
market and named 1t Tough Hide, for
1t looked as II 1t had been accustomed
to more blows than food. He put the
animal IN his little clover field, and
this 1t seemed to enjoy very much.
One morning Tough Hide saw a troop
Of asses coming down the lane, look
Ing rather thin. He asked them If
they would like nice feed of sweet
clover. "Ah, wouldn't wei" brayed
the asses.
So the mule with his teeth drew out
the staple which fastened the gate
and let them in. Soon after the farm
sr passed by, and saw the animals
eating his clover, SO he got a cudgel
and drove them all out. He not only
gave the asses a sound thrashing, but
he thrashed Tough Hide as well.
Enthusiastically Is a good thing.

TINS is a democratic year. Its a

THIS is a democratic year. It's a
peculiar fact that nearly every re-
publican that you meet who has
some reputation either as states
man or a man of affairs, will tell
you that the republicans, so fal as
this year is concerned, are abso-
lutely and hopelessly defeated. 1t
sounds very good to hear that sort
of talk coming from republicans
who have been in authority so long
and who have been leaders of their
party in ali the political campaigns
for the last thirty years. From the
outlook, unless the democrats play
the Internal fool at their conven-
ton in Baltimore, they certainly
will win the presidency and the next
house of representatives and proba-
bly, the next United States senate.
If they do, they will win something
that has not occurred since Cleve-
lands last election in 1892, and then
can demonstrate to the entire
. country the fact that the demo
Gratis of this country who are elect
ed as representatives of the people,
can be constructive legislators in
the interest of the people instead
of obstructive and destructive mem
bers of congress. One may add
two and two together and recog-
nize the fact that Roosevelt is rip
ping the republican party up the
back every time he opens his mouth
and that La Toilette is tearing
great holes in the republican armor
every time he makes speech, it is
plain to DO seen that the republi-
can party is in a bad way and that
it is gradually getting worse. A
republican recently said that Roose-
welt was out to destroy the repub-
lican party, and it looked very much
to him as though he were going to
be a very successful destroyer. 1t
also looks that way to every man of
this country who keeps his fingers
on the pulse of politics and his ear
to the ground listening to the echoes
that come from the warrior.
