Mr.. Wehrwein's Present Hobby

The primary election law is the
particular matter that interests AS
semblyman Wehrwein, or perhaps it
might be better to say that the ques-
tom of registration as it relates to
the primary law is the thing that
largely engages his attention. He
believes there should be but one oc-
casion for registration and that it be
on primary election day. He hopes
to see the law so amended as to pro-
vide that in the larger cities the
polls of the primary shall open at 6
O'Clock in the morning and remain
open until in the evening. The
object which Mr.. Wehrivein seeks to
accomplish will be to secure larger
attention to the duty of citizenship
on primary day and at the same time
obviate a large item of expense for
ohlcial services at the registration
days as now constituted. Mr.. Weir
vein is a second termer and comes
from the first district of Manitowoc
county. His home is at Manitowoc,
noted principally for its manufactur-
ing and as the lake port from which
two car ferries across Lake Mich
gan are entered and cleared, one for
LudinEton, Michigan, 80 miles, and
the other for Frankfort, 81 miles. 1t is
also the home of Emil Baensch pres
ident of the Wisconsin press asso-
citation, and of Senator S. w. Ran
doph of the fifteenth district. Mr.
Wehrwein is a native of ManitoWoc
county and a graduate Of the Osh-
kosh normal school He taught
school in his younger days and later
devoted himself to farming. Four
years ago he retired from the farm
and again has taken up teaching
which he INDUCES between his legis-
lative duties. He is one of the
giants of the lower house, being more
than six feet tall and large in proper
ton. Few solons are more careful
and correct in the use of the English
language
