Governors Helpers Declare
Towns in State Want
Special Session.
MANY REFUSED TO TAKE VOTE

Of the seven hundred and twenty
SIX town meetings that voted on the
question of special session of the
legislature seventy-one per cent en-
dorsed the calling of the legislature
in special session. This information
was announced by Attorney General
Walter c. Owen following compila-
tion of the reports received to date.
There are total of 1,1S1 towns in
the state. OF this number 726 voted
on the subject of which 468 were in
favor of the petition for session; 1S9
were against and SO towns have report
ed that no action was taken.
"Sixty-one per cent of all of the
towns in the state have sent in re-
ports" declared Attorney General
Owen today. "Seventy-one per cent
of the towns reporting favor special
session, or forty per cent of all of the
towns in the state. A majority of the
towns in nineteen counties of the state
endorsed the petition
Of the fifteen towns in Douglas
county, nine voted in favor of special
session, one against and in one no ac-
ton was taken, according to Mr..
Ovens reports. Of the seven towns
in Milwaukee county, two voted in
favor and two against; Rock county,
out Of twenty towns, six in favor and
four against; Winnebago county, out
of sixteen towns, eleven in favor and
two against; Fond du Lac county. out
OF twenty-one towns, seven in favor
and one against; Manitowoc county.
out of eighteen towns, six in favor and
three against and Buffalo county, out
of seventeen towns, eight voted in
favor of the session and two against.
Attorney General Owen has filed
with Gov. McGovern tabulated state
ment, showing these returns.
The special legislative session ques-
ton will probably reach climax with
in the next few days. 1t is understood
that the LaFollette leaders are plan
ming another dramatic movement in
connection with the special session,
following the presentation of the figures
which are obtained by the town meet
ing referendum by Attorney General
Owen, which seemingly show a senti-
ment, so far as the farmers of the state
are concerned, in favor of a session.
Just what the LaFollette leaders are
planning cannot be said, but the gen
eral impression seems to be that some
kind of statement will be presented
from the four state officers who origin
ally requested the special session of
the governor, in which they will de-

"Take up the white mans burden.
We dare not stoop to less. =


BY whatever name the diplomats and
statesmen who love 20 bubble over
terms may call it, Mexico and the
United States are at war. Men IN the
uniform the United States have been
shot down in battle for their country.
That is war. But this is one of the most
Just and unavoidable wars ever waged
by any nation IN the history of the
world. 1t is no war of aggression OF
strong power against weaker. 1t is
no war waged for the acquisition of
territory or to enslave a people. 1t is
war into which the United States
has been forced by the march of events
over which it had no control. The lead
ers of our government have not been
precipitate and hasty. Rather the re-
verse. They have endured outrages
without reprisals, have been patient
and calm in the fact of hostile acts
which long ago would have driven a
weaker nation with less well balanced
leaders to take up arms. There have
been wide differences Of opinion as to
the policy pursued, but there is no diff
ference of opinion now as to the con-
duet Of the war The country is pre-
pared to fight to the finish without
counting ithe cost in blood and treasure.
The first Ashot fired Tuesday against
Admiral Bletcher's men locked the
ranks solidly behind the president.
There is mo division in the face of
actual hostilities The war has begun
and it can only end one way-in the
triumph Of the American arms and the
establishment of law and order in
Mexico. That is the duty this nation
owes to civilization which cannot be
accomplished without recourse to arms.

such other business as would ordinari-

2. That one of the planks of the
platform adopted be to the effect that
candidates. for state offices and for
state senators and assemblymen, wheth-
el republican or democrat, be required
to pledge themselves to carry out a
purely business session of the legisla-
ture, and to this end that such session
shall not continue to exceed ninety
days.

SEES NEED OF DEFINITE PLAN
Leading Member of the Northwestern
Wisconsin Bar Declares Time Has
Come to Gust Party and Give Rule of
the State Back to the People.

Attorney George L. Williams of
Grand Rapids is in favor Of non
partisan ticket being placed in the
field in Wisconsin this fall which shall
be nominated by convention to be
held in Madison. 1t is the belief Of
Mr.. Williams that the state is ripe for
a revolt from party rule. Mr.. Williams
voices his beliefs in the following
communications
Editor: The meetings which are be-
ing held throughout the state with re-
gard to the question of high taxes,
seem to me call for some definite plan
Of action. If these meetings continue
and no campaign for the future is ar
ranged, they will fall fat when cleo
tion time comes next November, as
predicted by such men as Tax Com
missioner Lyon, the governor, and
other defenders of high taxes.
Now | want as briefly as possible to
submit scheme for future action in
order to start the ball rolling on this
line and get things boiled down to
substantial basis. In this connection
| am going to assume as demonstrated
and demonstrable truths, the following:
First-There can be no question but
what our present method of doing
away with political contests and can
didates on political lines in our MUM
cipal affairs, is great success, and
is tending ali the time toward better
business methods and better manage
ment of our cities throughout the state.
Second-There is not at present and
has not been for some years in our
state affairs, any particular difference
between republicans and democrats. In
other words, there are no great political
questions at issue in our state affairs.
Third-So far as the excessive
amount of legislation during the
past two or three sessions of the
legislature is concerned, republicans,
democrats and socialists are all about
equally to blame. Running after
strange gods and creating commissions
iii order to furnish jobs for political
henchmen, is as true of one party as
OF Another; the only difference being
that the majority gets little more of
the swag than does the minority.
th-There is no more reason
why there should be political nominees
for governor and members of the legis-
lature than there is why there should
be political nominees for mayor and
aldermen of the city Of Milwaukee, or
any other city in the state. The ques-
ton with regard to the election Of
United States senator is hereafter to
be settled by the people at the Novem-
Der election and there can be no con
testing thereafter.
Fifth = Political caucuses by the
members of the assembly and the sena-
tors, and the appointment of leaders
and henchmen to run things through
the legislature, is one of the greatest
nuisances of our present method of en-
acting laws for the whole state.
