Governor. The remaining four coun-
ties of the district were likewise car
ried in succession.
The contest in the State conven-
lastedtw days. The machine united
on w. H. Upham, who was finally
nominated. Our forces had passed
through such a struggle for election
that they were fused together as one
man. 1t was a rigid lineup against
the bosses, and while we lost the
nomination for Governor, their
forces so scattered on the remain
ing nominations that we held the
balance of power, and named prac-
tically every other man on the ticket.
The old machine was tried to the
breaking point, and we came out

1t was a gloomy night in our head
quarters. Many were disheartened
and felt that it was a forerunner of
overwhelming defeat.
But it only strengthened our reso-
luton to win, and after brief talk
every man went out from the head
quarters with zeal to carry the coun-
try towns Of the county, which might
still give us a majority. The strug-
gle from that time on grew fiercer

LA TOILETTE BRINGS OUT
INDEPENDENT FOR GOVERNOR

announced than the fight was on.
We opened headquarters in my law
office, and for many weeks the lights
never went out. Candidates for Gov
ernor were brought forward in other
sections of the State-W. H. Upham
| in central Wisconsin, Edward SEQ
| field in the Northeast, and "Hod"
Taylor from Dane County.
These candidates were in perfect
accord, and all had the favor of the
bosses Of Wisconsin. Sooner or
later the strength which each could
command in the convention would be
merged to secure victory for the ma
chine.
Sawyer Determined
Sawyer declared I should never
have a seat in Republican conven-
ton in Wisconsin, nor hold political
office, as long as he lived. He was
! friendly to every other candidate,
and announced that he had nothing
against Haugen, but would oppose
him as La Follette's candidate"
The fight centered on Dane
County, which was the heart Of my
old district. Sawyer's money was
everywhere. The opposition con-
trolled the county organization, and
Roger c. Spooner, brother Of Sena-
tor Spooner, was chairman OF the
county committee.
In order to make it as difficult as
possible, the machine brought for
ward three candidates on the State
ticket from Dane County alone, only
two of whom (under the usages of
conventions in distributing the
offices geographically could hope to
be nominated. 1t was anything to
beat Haugen and kill off La Fol
iette." 1t was the hottest county
fight 1 ever saw.
Democratic machine newspapers
and politicians joined with Repub-
lican machine newspapers and politi-
clans to suppress this fist organized
revolt. The whole State watched
the contest in Dane County.
If the machine were successful
there, If l were defeated in my own
county as delegate to the State
convention. it meant the breaking
down of Haugen's campaign. 1 sat
at my desk almost day and night
personally debating letters to the
/ Republican farmers.
The first caucuses, held in the city
Of Madison and in two other small
cities in the county. registered a
complete victory for the machine.
| We were defeated in every ward.

THE EDGE POSTAL EMPLOYEE
BILL.

There are several measures before
the present Congress of the United
States affecting different branches of
the postal service. Among these are
some three or four bills designed to
increase the salaries OF postal en-
ployees. One of these is sponsored by
Senator Edge, and this bill embodies
the ideas as expressed by the various
Postmaster Associations of the several
States Of the country, and later by the
National Association Of Postma sters.
This bill, like all the others on this
subject, retains the system Of grading
clerks and carriers. A clerk or car
rier begins at the first grade. when he
is made regular, al a sci minimum
salary He is advanced to the second
grade, after one year of efficient ser
vice, and so on until he reaches the
fifth and final grade. At present. with
each advance in grade he receives one
hundred dollars per annum additional
salary, until he reaches the maximum
in the fifth grade. Under the Edge
bill, and this is also true OF the other
bills. the minimum salary is advanced
$500 per year. and as he is advanced
in the grades, he receives 5000 per
year additional. instead OF 500, as
applies under existing law.
The postal employees are said to be
the poorest paid OF all public officials.
It is certainly a fact that the pay re-
ceiyed is not commensurate with the
knowledge required OF an experienced
clerk He must be familiar with the
postal laws aAregulations and know
