by Hal Cooper

Reports from Racine declare that
the battle for the nomination of the
Republican candidate for Congress in
the First District is already on and
that Wallace ingalls,, at present assem-
blyman from the First District Of Racine
county, is to come out in very short
time as an ayowed candidate for the
nomination for the office Of congress
man from the First District to sue
coed Henry Allen Cooper. MIR. ingalls,
has made no formal announcement OF
mis- candidacy, but his friends are doing
a lot of quiet work for him and when
the formal announcement is made the
candidacy will be we'll under way. Mr.
Ingalls, has in the past been one of
the strongest supporters of Congress
man Cooper. and it is certain that he
VIII make foe worthy of the steel
Of the present member Of Congress
from the First District
Since ingalls, entered the state legis-
lature last January he has been much
in the public eye. He was one of the
members Of the legislative Commission
which investigated the primary cleo
ton and was a leader along conserva-
tive lines in the investigation. Not
withstanding his important services to
the state as a member of the Commits
sion he has had hand in making some
of the most important laws in the SEES
sion. He has introduced many bills
for lettering the condition of the la
boring men of the state and for the
purpose Of securing better adjust
ment of the relations between employ
ers and employed.
Mr. ingalls, was bonn in the first Con
gressional District and has spent his
entire life in Walworth and Racine
counties. He was graduated from the
University of Wisconsin and since
graduation has engaged in the practice
ofelaw in Racine and Kenosha counties.
He is fully as well known in Kenosha
county as in Racine county. The Re
pablicanism of Mr.. Ingalls, has never
been questioned and he has worked in
every campaign for the success of the
ticket. He has been fortunate in not
being allied with any faction of the
parity and he enters the race for Con-
greas 8ble. to seek support from all
Republicans in the district.
1t was thought possible that t. W.
Nolan of, GAINESVILLE, who twice sought
the nomination against Mr. Cooper,
would be a candidate again next year.
but it is now declared that he will not
get intO the field again but will leave
the Office for contest between the
two men from Racine county.
ingalls, is. a great campaigner and it
is ceftaip that when he gets formally
into the fight he viii make a canvass
of the district that will be vigorous
enough to make every one sit up and
notice. Mr., Cooper is accredited with
having the support of Senator LaFol
lettes in his race for denomination and
it is certsin that the ultra LaFollette
leadersawill not look upon the candi-
daey of MIR. ingalls, with any great
favor, but Notwithstanding this fact
Iagalis} friends declare that he will, get
the great vote Of the men who have
got thrOggh with factionalism in Wis
6eRsin and are ready to see a union of
the parity for the interests of all.
