Wisconsin Republicans In Congress not
Discouraged by It.

The republicans in the House from Wiscon-
sin do not look upon the defeat of their party
ct the local election at Milwaukee as perma-
nent reversal and don't speak Of it as serious
matter.
Mr.. Caswell said to STAR reporter today
that it was but temporary victory for the
democrats; thas the trouble was that the re-
publicans were asleep.
This, he said, would wake them up and all
would go well this fall The Germans were un-
necessarily excited over the Bennett law. He
did not think MIR. Spooner was in danger.
Mr.. Haugan said that the trouble was over
the Bennett law only, and he did not think it
would affect the whole state. 1.-THE
opposition is stronger in Milwaukee than in
other parts Of the state and better organized"
he said. Il do not think any of the
foreign population except the Ger
mans are particularly interested in
the matter. The mistake our folks made was
in not standing up to the principles OF the law
and in talking too much of its defects.
When the bill was passed there was not q
vote against it, democrat or republican"
An effort was made this morning to hold q

they have been met with considerable resist
ance.

This is the first appearance of this form of
patriotism in this vicinity and the outcome Of
the move has been watched with a good deal
of interest. There are five councils of the order
in this city, three junior and two senior

rade today with c. o. Tavenner as chief mar
shall and W. l. Boyden. adjutant The cere-
monies here were with the full consent of the
school officials, who were also announced to
take part.
The parade and ceremonies were under the
auspices OF the senior councils Of the order,
who had invited the juniors to participate in
the event. 1t was quite awhile after 1
o'clock when the men fell in and took
up the line of march toward West Washing
ton. There were about 100 men in line when
they started, but they we're joined by others
along the route, and il was good
sized concourse OF working men that
took possession OF the school building. bent on
showing their patriotism and devotion to the
star spangled banner.
ExxRcisEs AT THE SCHOOL BUILDING.
At the Addison school the play ground was
crowded with children and older citizens of
Georgetown, ali decked with small
flags. When the procession reached
the school il filed into the
play ground and took up its position by the
Curtiss building in the rear Of the Addison
school Supervising Principle Jsnney called
the meeting TO order and the program then
included prayer by Rev. r. b Rice, America
