DEMOCRATIC CONTEST IN
WISCONSIN.

The Milwaukee Journal has wisely
pointed out and emphasized the fact
that 1t will be easier to elect Woodrow
Wilson than to nominate him. That
the Taft forces fear the nomination of
Governor Wilson is evident, The Tory
newspapers all betray their fears in
this regard. SO much can be truth
fully said in his favor,-so much has
already been truthfully said in his
favor, that he is now easily the first
choice of Wisconsin Democrats. But it
appears that very determined effort
will be made by the Clark and Harmon
forces to change the present existing
Democratic sentiment in Wisconsin, In
the hope that they may secure at least
part Of the delegation to Baltimore.
1t seems passing strange that the
Clark and Harmon forces have united
in Wisconsin. In Missouri Clark Folk,
and Wilson men, with Bryan as n har-
monizing leader, worked ont their diff
ferences as Democrats. But through
oughout the nation the Tories have
taken up Harmon, and for his followers
and the followers of Clark, the Liberal,
to unite, is to form what Robert Burns
would call hodgepodge coalition. In
some cases men who are true Liberals,
men who came to the Democratic
party because 1t is the party of pro
gress,--have teen drawn into this Goa
lition, and are now working in double
harness with men of reactionary ten
denotes, - men who stand athwart the
path of progress. 1t is to be hoped that
the real situation may be clearly under
stood before other good and true Demo
Gratis are caught and entanged by the
allied forces which seek to prevent the
nomination of Wilson, who is by far
the strongest candidate the Democrats
can nominate for the presidency,
Unjust complaint is made by some of
the Clark Harmon champions, partic
ularly by the editor of the Sheboygau
Press, - because National Committee
man Davies AID majority of the state
central committee favor Mr.. Wilson
nomination. This complaint is unjust
because neither Mr.. Davies nor any
member of the state central committee
has attempted to use the party organ.

on the state committee is no reason
why they should be disfranchised. o.

Here is something from w. J. Bryan 8
Commoner. that applies directly and
sharply to the men Of Wisconsin who
are trying to carry the state through n
combination of Harmon and Clark
supporters
The press reports may be doing
Speaker Clark an injustice but If it is
true that his managers are seeking
alliance with the Harmon forces where
ever necessary to defeat the Wilson
supporters they should be reminded of
the risk they run. The line between
the progressive and the stand patter is
80 clearly drawn that real progressive
does not appeal to stand patter. 1t
always excites suspicion, therefore,
when stand patters begin to flock to
one who is running as II progressive.
Mr.. Clark's literature appeals to pro
gressiyes and his natural alliance is
with Governor Wilson's friends. Pro-
gressives should fight shoulder to
shoulder against the reactionary Demo

tinent to call to mind the ROoseveltian
tactics pursued by him two years ago.
At the state convention he threw his
influence into the balance and forced a
nomination for United States Senator.
But shortly afterwards he did not hest
tate to enter the field by petition, and
by a thorough, and somewhat expens
i've campaign, defeat Burt Williams,
who was the nominee Of the COnycn-
ton. In some quarters Mr.. Williams
was opposed on the ground that he was
not rich enough to stand for United
States Senator. 1t was long ago estab-
lished in this country that manhood
and not the pocketbook, should cast the
ballot The pocketboOk should not be
the determining factor in choosing an
United States Senator or any other rep
resentative Of the people.
Wisconsin Democrats ought to stand
steadfast in their support Of Woodrow
Wilson, the leader Of leaders, who is
himself one Of the people, and who
has the support Of great Democrats
like Bryan, Folk, Gore, Olney, John
Sharp Williams and lIoke smith. Let
them register their steadsast determi
nation by an overwhelming vote at the
primaries on the second day of April.
BY so doing they will let the world
know that they are blessed with the
understanding necessary for the wise
self government of this great people.

TO MOVE CHAPEL TO
GET TWOLOTSCLEAR

A meeting of all the voting members
Of the Zion Lutheran church was held
last night at the church for the pur-
pose of deciding whether it was eX-
pedient to move the old church, now
known as the chapel, TO clear two lots
and make them salable property. The
church owns three lots facing on Sew
enth avenue and at present, none of
them are desirable because of the pos
ition of the chapel. 1t was decided TO
move the building TO the northeast
corner of the three lots, clearing two
and removing the obstruction to the
view from the lots. The two lots will
be placed on sale by the church and
the chapel will receive needed repairs
making it a suitable place to hold
socials and for the Young People S
societies TO meet.
The members of the church also
voted to diminish the debt on the new
church by $4,000 November /. and
the money for that purpose and the
repairing Of the chapel will be raised
/ in the meantime.
