Acting Department Commander
Urged as Candidate for Com.
mander of State Organization
HARD FIGHT is BEING WACED
Lang's Position as Temporary Head of
the Department Promises to
Give Him Long Start
in Big Contest

Robert B. Lang of Racine, is being
mentioned as a candidate for depart
ment commander Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic in Wisconsin, to be
elected at the encampment to be held
in Eau Claire next month. Mr.. Lang
is now the department commander,
he having succeeded E. d. Coe of
Whitewater, who died month ago,
and Mr.. Lang, by virtue of being
senior vice commander, became depart
ment commander three days after Mr..
Goes death. While Mr.. Lang's name
has been mentioned for reelection to
the Office he now holds, he has not as
yet announced whether he will run
Members of Gov. Harvey Post Of Ra-
cine are in favor of having one Of their
number elected to the highest Office
of the Grand Army of the Republic
in the state, and it is understood that
the delegates to the Eau Claire encamp-
ment will be instructed for Racine
candidate should one be selected.
Members of the Kenosha Post are very
favorable to acting Commander Lang.
There promises to be spirited con
test at the Eau Claire encampment for
the Office of department commander,
as it is understood that there will be
three or four candidates in the field.
Racine never was headquarters Of the
Department of Wisconsin Grand Army
of the Republic until a few weeks ago,
although Gov. Harvey Post ranks
among the highest in the state. At the
Racine encampment a year ago Mr..
Coe was elected department command
er and R. B. Lang, senior vice depart
ment commander. On the death of
Mr.. Coe Mr. lang became department
commander and the headquarters Of
the department are now located in Ra-
cine. Members Of the Racine post
are in favor of having the headquart-
ers retained there for another year,
and it may be possible to do so. Dele
gates have not as yet been instructed
as to whom they shall vote for at the
coming encampment. The encamp-
ment at Eau Claire this year promises
to be entertaining and interesting for
the veterans of the Civil war. The
people of Eau Claire are to tender the
old veterans receptions and entertain
ments and the delegates from the
Woman s Relief, Corps and Sons of
Veterans, who Withhold conventions at
the same time at Eau Claire, will be
we'll entertained.
The encampment of the United
Spanish War Veterans will be held at
Fond du Lac July 5, and 7 and it
promises to equal the encampment held
three years ago. There is a contest
on for the Office of department. com
mander, there now being three candi-
dates in the field. The candidates are
James Armstrong, Milwaukee; Edward
S. Falter, GAINESVILLE and John S. Foot
Of Ripon.
It may be that at the Fond du Lac
encampment the veterans Of the United
Spanish War Veterans will elect to
hold their encampments in the same
Ecity and at the same time as the vet
