Great Gathering Of Politicians To
Be Held in Milwaukee Dur.
ing State Fair Week
NO PLACE FOUND FOR COOPER
Lenroot and Connor Will Fight 1t Out
With Davidson for United States
Senate-Davidson Is Slated
for Another Term

Politicians from all parts of the
state and Incidentally few from Ke-
nosha county will go to Milwaukee
next week to take part in the big pow
WOW that is to be held by the Repub-
licans of the state at which time some
arrangement is to be made for the
alloting of the Offices for next election.
It is long time before the election,
but the men who are seeking Office
are anxious to get down to fixing up
their political fences and it is highly
necessary that the politicians have
an understanding. Kenosha county
will have no candidate for state or
national honors, but most of the real
loyal followers of the LaFollette
wing of the party are anxious to know
what is to become of Congressman Fl.
A. Cooper. The congressman made
hard fight for the Senate early in the
year and there was sort of under
standing among the friends of Cooper
that he would have the support of
the administration for the office when
at primary to be held next spring.
It looks as if there is little chance
for this pledge, if such was given,
to be fulfilled. From the inner cir
cles of the party comes the warning
cry that "Unc1e Ike" has not definite
ly decided to retire from the Senate
after one brief year, and the Kenosha
county farmer may go back to Wash
ington for the long term. W. D. Con-
nor will be at the meeting next week,
and it is understood that he wants
just two things. One of them is to
succeed Stephenson, and another is
an ambition to get to the head of the
Republican National Committee. 1t
is possible that Conner will get out of
the race for the Senate if he is named
as the Wisconsin member of the Ma
tional Committee.
/. L. Lenroot, he who halls from
Superior, and who has been candi-
date pretty regular in the past few
years, is back in the field for the Office
of United States Senator and he re-
fuses to be considered for such a
trivial Office as a member of Congress-
from his district. These three men
are to fight it out among them for
Senator, but there are lot of people
in this section of the state that will
insist on voting for Cooper. The only
trouble is that Cooper will have to
elect what Office he will be candi-
date for, and if he seeks the Senator
ship he will have to give up the seat
in Congress which he has held so long
Governor Davidson will probably
declare himself as candidate for re-
election to the office of Governor at
the Milwaukee pow-wow, and it is said
that John ]. Esch, of La Crosse, who
gave the followers of Senator La Fol-
1ette such a scare at Madison last win
ter, will oppose Davidson. Esch is
we'll liked by the old Stalwarts and he
has quite following among the men
who have been very close to Senator
La Toilette. Mr.. Conner is accred-
tied with saying that he has no de-
sire to be Governor of the state and
that he is for Davidson for another
term.
Herman L. Ekern, who delivered
The Fourth of July address at Pad
docks Lake, is being considered as
candidate for the office of Lieutenant
Governor, but it is said that he wants
to go to Congress. 1t is pretty GER
tain that there will be considerable of
mix up when the Republicans get in
session. The political pow-wow will
hold more interest for the farmer than
the Good Roads Convention and the
State Fair put together.
