for Republicans from All
Over the State.

Decision of Convention.

oshkoshN Wis. " = The eyes
of the entire nation are focused on
Oshkosh today and during the next
twenty-four hours there will go out
from this city news of Importance to
the entire United States.
For in this. city history is to be
made through the efforts of loyal AM
orleans who are assembling to redeem
the state for the Republican party,
that great group of citizens under
whose leadership there has come
prosperity, a q development and
growth never equalled in the world.
To party Of effort and of achieve
ment is to be restored its prestige.
George W. Blanchard of Edgerton
and Wallace Ingalls,, of Racine, two of
the outstanding figures in the Repub-
Iican state convention tomorrow, have
arrived in Oshkosh and are registered
at a hotel Mr.. Blanchard is promi-
nently mentioned for permanent chair
man Of the convention and Mr.. ingalls,
is one of the candidates for nominal
tion for. United States senator at and
by the convention.
Mr.. Blanchard declined to make any
statement for publication at this time.
Ingalls, States Stand.
n after the convention, may BIO
willing to discuss it, but at this time,
II would not be advisable" Mr..
blanchard said. Anything might
have to say should be presented to the
convention, if l should be elected as
chairman, Any comments or sugges-
tions that l might make in advance
might not be we'll accepted and pre-
fer, to make no statement at this
time"
Mr.. ingalls, also was not inclined to
be laxative. II believe my position
is fairly we'll understood" he said. 81
have. announced that / will stand os
a candidate for election to the senate
If the convention should nominate me.
If it nominates someone else / will
abide by its decision. feel it is my
duty to do so.
Need For Harmony.
There are matters just now before
the state which are more important
than that Of the candidacy of any
man. One is whether there shall be
a change in the practices by maintain
ing party alignment or whether the
voters will be governed by individu-
ais. It is necessary, l believe, to
maintain political parties and if that
view is taken by majority of the vot-
ers, the coming convention will have
real significance"
Mr.. Ingalls, is the only candidate for
nomination who has arrived as yet.
1t is understood that neither F. E.
McGovern of Milwaukee nor Roy Will
cox of Eau Claire will be here tomor-
row. Each of them is in a city not
far away from Oshkosh, but they will
not be at the meeting, it is stated.
Advance material is usually avail
able at party conventions, but in this
instance there is little of such to be
had. 1t is impossible because there is
no "cut and dried" program.
Whatever transpires will be the
outcome of the judgment of the rep
resentatives present. There is no
draft Of the platform. That platform
will be made by the platform commit
tee. There have come suggestions
from various parts of the state ard
from various Interests as to plankS
which should be included in the plat
form.
Those suggestions have been COM
piled and will be submitted to the
committee for its consideration. Many
Of them have been given publicity,
but they are by no means determined
upon as yet.
While a number Of prominent men
have been mentioned for nomination
there is no certainty as to who will
be selected. There is no enc being
groomed by other than local groups.
CredentIaI Committee Meets.
Today, the credential committee
will meet to go over the lists of dele
gates received in this mornings mail.
Others will come during the day and
some will not be received until to-
night or tomorrow morning. But the
bulk of the work will have been done
and can be completed early tomorrow,
so that IL will be possible to de-
termine who are authorized to speak
end act for their respect counties.
