Unless someone in some way connected

how his local colored fellow-citizens re-
gard his appoiutee. and has good reason
for suspccting that there Is not much
frien,'lier sentiment regarding the latter

Hopes in MiSeonSin-Tbe sweep

Hopes ia " NiscOnsiH.-The sweeping
Democratic victories in Milwaukee and
other municipal campaigns in Wisconsin
on Tuesday have encouraged prom inent
Democrats I'm Washington 20 believe that
substantial gains viii be made by the
party in that state next November. Mayor
Roses majority in Milwaukee this time is
Tot as large as it was in the last election
but the fact that he held the party Jr-
ganizatiOn well together through a vio-
lent storm of purely local issues is COM
mented upon as evidence Of the strong
growth Of Democratic sentiment in that
vicinity. which is SO largely dominated by
tie Germans. II is thought highly prOba-
hle that on the ISSUES Of imperialism and
miiiarism the small plurality by which
The Hon. Theodore often was sent 10 Cen
greSs from that district in the last cleo
tiCn can be wiped out by the Democrats in
November and that on the same issues
the Hon Herman p. Dahle is doomed In
the Second district. Mr.. Dahle's majority
in 1S9S was only a little over thousand.
and Mr. OUen's about the same. Ii is
considered quite probable. therefore that
at least Two Congressional districts in
Wisconsin can be reclaimed by the Demo
Gratis this year.
