SEEK Volunteers FOR WORK
Asks Names of Men Who are With
Roosevelt in Wisconsin, to Come Out
Sending Their Names to the Provi-
sional Committee.

Supporters of Theodore Roosevelt in
Wisconsin have thrown down the
gauntlet and it is declared that a
state ticket will be nominated in the
state to oppose Governor Francis E.
MeGovern and the Republican ticket.
It is said that Col. John Hicks of Osh-
kosh, will head the new ticket.
Norman L. Baker of Milwaukee,
provisional chairman of the new party
lin Wisconsin this morning sent out
from Milwaukee call to all the
"Rull Moose" to get on the roll Of
members of the party and this is in
anticipation of the call for the state
convention. It is stated that the CON
vention will be held in Milwaukee
probably on August 10Th. The Bull
Moose is going into Wisconsin in a
systematic manner and today adver-
tisements appear in all the larger pa
pers of the state urging people who
are in sympathy with the Roosevelt
movement TO send their names and adj
dresses to the state chairman in order
that the provisional state roll Of dele
gates to the state convention may be
made up. 1T is expected that several
hundred Kenosha people will respond
to the call and thus formally and pub
licly align themselves for the Battle
for the lord. - It is declared that al
ready hundreds of men about the state
who have been leaders in the old
party councils have expressed their
willingness to get under the Roosevelt
banner. The convention to be held in
Milwaukee will follow regular lines
laid down by the old parties in the
past and it is probable that Kenosha
county will have eleven delegates at
the meeting The delegates will prob
ably be selected by the provisional
committee the same as has been done
in other states
The announcement that a state con
vention will be held and state ticket
placed in the field has caused quak-,
ing among the candidates of the Re
publican party in many counties
which in the past have been consider
ed rock-ribbed Republican counties,
but it is declared that the program Of
the Roosevelt men does not include
tie naming of county tickets, but that
any county organization seeking to
name Independent candidates who
may be supporters of Roosevelt will
not be discouraged. The lack of for
NAL organization Of the Roosevelt men
in this county will probably result in
no ticket being placed in the field, but
it is known that the nominating of
candidates is being discussed among
the leaders of the Roosevelt party
here.
1t is declared by the state leaders
that already a sufficient assurance has
been received that every county in the
state will be represented at the state
convention. The candidates to be
named will all have to be placed on
the ticket by petition and it will be
to secure at least thous-
and signatures for each candidate.
It is declared that the Roosevelt
party is drawing not only from the
Republican and Democratic parties,
but that a number Of well known So
cial Democrats have declared them
selves in favor of the Roosevelt plat
form. just as soon as the volunteers
for the new party have been secured,
county committees will be
named and these committees will have
something to say in regard to the Sc
lection of delegates to the state meet
ing.
