MILwAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 25.-A careful
survey of the political field develops the fact
that beneath the apparent popular indiffer-
enee, powerful factors are working to secure
the legislature, this falls election beng the
rrst under the biennial session law. The fight
throughout the state will undoubtedly turn
largely upon the question of prohibition in all
assembly districts, also surely in Guenther's
congressional district, where kanouse, presi-
dent OF the National TEN perance organization
claims already 2,00a votes as certain.
The anti-prohi5itionist organized recently
as the Wisconsin Protective association, max
ing efforts TO establish branches throughout
the state. II the Republicans encourage the
temperance issue, which will uudoubt edly be
done in some localities the Protective sssocia-
ton viii receive almost the entire German
vote, thus drawing largely upon the Republi-
cans. The Protective association is commonly
mistaken aS liquor dealers organization and
is accordingly underrated. II embraces the
liberal elements of both the leading parties,
principally Germans, and is likely on this &C.
count 10 force the nationality question. It is
an important factor IL this, the Fourth con-
greSsl0nal district, numbering 1900 mem
Sers and claiming 5000 votes. The Trades
assembly is only important II their district,
polling nearly 6,o00voteI.
Ia the First congressional district, Charles
.. Williams, present Republican incumbent,
Is already renominsted. Chances are IN
toubtedly certain for election.
In the Second Z. W. Keyes is manipulating
the local delegations successfully against the
present incumbent, Hazelton, with chances
favorable for his nomination. The district is
almost certainly Republican. The Demo
cratic chance was frustrated hy Villas refusal
10 accept the nomination. Briggs, late can
dldate for attorney general, is likely to be the
Democratic nominee.
The Third is strongly Democratic, with
scarcely any interest developed IL favor
of Republlcans.ss Bragg's chances are
good, but they are thought 10 be impaired by
suits brought by the proprietor of the Trc
mont house, Chicago, for money advanced
upon dishonored drafts of Bragg.
Upon the sergeant alarms of the house of
representatives bitter personal fight for the
domination is going on between Bragg and
Delaney, with the chances favorable for the
former. In the Fourth district the Republi-
can nominee is almost certain to be Isaac W.
Fanschalck, against the present Democratic
incumbent Deuster, The situation is badly
mixed up and DuGster has incurred the dislike
of the Trades assembly through his paper, the
See6ote, German afternoon daily, which op-
posed the striking cigar makers. The Trades
assembly viii nominate their own candidate
thus strengthening the Republican chances.

dldate who, like Deuster, distinctly pledges
himself to favor their aims, and their sup
port is likely to be thrown in favor of the
Democratic nominee
The Fifth district is strongly Democratic
The con test for nomination is between Ran
Kan and Hudd, with the chances in favor of
the form Ell.
In the Sixth district Guthrie's the present
republican incumbentl denomination is doubt
tul, on account of his strong opposition to the
Prohlbltionists. The latter are willing to sac.
Ilhee hanouse for the nomination, if the Re-
rublicans nominate Tuner or Bowman; both
are favorable to the temperance cause On
the other hand, there is doubt Of Republican
siICcess without Gutherie'S. renomination
II the Prohibltionists nominate, the Demo-
cratic chances are not unfavorable. Haben,
mayor OF Oshkosh, is the probable Demo
cratic nominee.
The Seventh district is undoubtedly Repub-
lican. Hizon, of Lacrosse, has fifteen dele
gates of the nineteen necessary to nomina-
ton certain. 1t is said he is unable to secure
the other four. Senator Thomas is second in
strength. He is liberal, but he is opposed be-
cause he is a railroad man. The probable
compromise candidates, arc Butt, of Vlroqua,
or Welch of Baraboo.
In the Eighth district Price has received the
Republican nomination, which is equal to an
election. Under the full Republican and Pro.
hihitionists' strength no Democratic candi-
date is mentioned.
The Ninth is new district considered Re
publican, but the Democrats arc putting for
ward powerful efforts, detracted from by
Greenback nominatian. The Republican nom
lnee will probably be Isaac Steveson, of Mari
nct5e, against the Democratic, Silverthorne, of
Wausau, or Jndge Parks, of Stevens Point,
probably the former.
The legislature Is expected to lose its large
Republican majority. 1t is an interesting
fight on account of the prohibition issue,
which will likely be victorious in country
districts not specifically German
The Republican central committee last fall
openly cut loose from the prohibitionisls, but
Is expected { his fall 10 counteuapce it in eome
localities.
The protection association viii spare no
means whatever, TO secure The legislature It
Is known secretly that the Nstional Brewers
association viii assist The prohlbitionists
nave strong organization to put in the field
* inst the amost unlimited fund Of their op-
IUnents. An interesting phaee is the nation
Ailty question. Prominent Germans object
strongly to having it drag ged into The cam
palen, but the pronibitionlsts force the issue.
MS matter Will be one object of discus
sion.
s2Ihe Republican central committee is called
to meet on September Is.
