Madison Wisconsin State Journal (Newspaper) - September 12, 1920, Madison, Wisconsin T a / i he primary rejected senator Robert m. La. Follett a War record. He staked the Issue on the fight with Lenroot and lost. Forty thousand voters rejected the Issue entirely voting for the High priest of the late lamented j. Barleycorn. Blaine i a. Follette candidate for governor won a minority nomination Quot by polling about votes against some 23ft, aggregated by his combined opposition. That Blaine who a great personal Streng a was handicapped rather than helped by the la Follette nonpartisan association seems probable a Follette made the Issue Plain. He took care that none should be Able to say his slate went through because a Soldier candidate or a pro War progressive upon it gave it to strength. His platform was an inferential endorsement of his own position. He has his answer. Perhaps he will let us forget the War and Deal with Domestic Issue uncomplicated by this deep difference of opinion in future campaigns. A a a a movement to bring out an Independent candidate against Blaine is being discussed. The obvious idea is that the coming legislature with its economic group representation represents a menace to the state and that the veto should be applied. It is proper to consider whether a Friendly but rational executive would be better than premeditated negation in the executive office and whether Blaine fills this need. Sometimes a familiar Pilot is better than an Anchor. There will be a platform convention. Blaine will doubtless have a voice in it. Perhaps the Wise thing to do is to wait for it. Heads will be cooler and republicans in general will thus avoid the inconsistency of condemning a program of which they know Little or nothing. The Bolt is a two edged sword. Republicans May Well ask themselves whether an attempt to defeat or. Blaine might not have for one of its reactions the defeat of senator Lenroot. A a a in Illinois Twenty three members of a communist party have been arrested for plotting to wreck a passenger train. Eleven of them have confessed they chose the train because it wan one in which Only wealthy people travelled. They say they planned to murder the survivors and to slay the neighbouring Farmers should any of them discover the wreck and attempt to summon Aid. Mooney has started another a newspaper Quot from. His Ceil in prison. In the famous Haymarket Case men who pub i lie bed incitement to murder Ware hanged. Mooney complains of his conviction for the san Francisco bomb outrage saying he was falsely condemned. But As editor of a the blast Quot he repeatedly committed offences similar to those for which the Chicago Haymarket anarchists were executed. Tee these men follow the ways of the russian nihilist. But the nihilist had an excuse be had no vote no voice in government 1 it is not so in ame Ica. In the recent primary Railroad workers led a fight which retired John j. Each from Congress. A great Many people who Are not unfriendly of Railroad men believe they were unjust to or. Lech and that they will come to see it themselves in time. But that in t the Point. The important thing is that the railroaders demonstrated that in this country men have no excuse for using Bombe and wrecking trains to influence government. All they have to do is to go to the polio. There Are reasons Why they fall a the polls sometime. It in t the fault of the polls. The primary fight was accompanied by an incident which illustrates. Lech had been classed As a dry in Congress. The wets alone could t him. Witness the election two years ago the brotherhoods and unions have beaten him alone either but when the workers got after each to the primary Campaign in the seventh District the wets got together with them it was an easy Contact to make because Many of the workers Are wets. But the railroaders and unionists i were after Lenroot As hard As they were after or. Each and for the same reasons. He was dry. And he voted for the each Bill. They wanted to elect Thompson whom they regarded As Friendly to the plumb plan. But Over in the great Industrial Fox River Valley the Union workers got off the track. They voted for Mchenry because he was an avowed wet and they were not so sure about Thompson. Enough of them voted for Mchenry to leave Lenroot in the Lead. Thus the wet vote of which a considerable portion is labor Defeated each and elected Lenroot although the issues against the two were identical. And so one seen the trouble int Moth the voting system but with the voters. They vote better than they used to but even now not All of them can select an Issue and stick to it.
