|ALTERNATEs TO BE CHOSEN
State Central Committee Expected to
Ratify Choice Made by Voters in
the Selection Of Alternate Delegates
to Convention.

County organization work has been
begun in the state by the Clark PEG
iple and before the end of this week
lat is expected to nave a working or
ganization in every county of the state.
Former Congr sssman Charles r.
Weisse has gone to his home in She
boygan Falls and will not return IN
| til tonight or tomorrow morning. The
former congressman is not remaining
idle, however, during his visit home,
and by letter and telephone he has
been getting in communication with
Clerk men in all parts of the state.
As a result before the end of the week
there will not be county in the state
in which there will not be an active
working Clark organization.
! The activity in the Clark campaign
has aroused the Wilson men and a
meeting was held Of prominent Will
sen men at which arrangements were
made for strong campaign on behalf
Iof Gov. Wilson in this state. It was
decided to at once open Wilson head
quarters at the Plankinton House, Mil
waukee, with Hubert Wolf III charge.
Addresses were made by p. H. Martin
| of Green Bay and r. B. Kirkland of
Madison, two of the candidates for
delegates at large on the Wilson tic
ket. Both spoke in high terms Of Gov.
Wilson and Of the splendid campaign
he is making. Mr.. Martin said the
character of the opposition to Gov.
| Wilson was thoroughly understood and
said the public would readily dis
| tinguish between the spontaneous sup
port given Gov. Wilson and the arti-
fetal character of the support being
given other candidates. r. B. Kirk
land declared that in Gov. Wilson
Democracy had found an ideal leader.
1t is understood several meetings
will be held in the interests Of Gov.
Wilson in various parts of the state.
Among those at the Wilson meeting
We're: William T. Wolfe, Lacrosse; A.
III, Schmitz, Milwaukee; P. III. Martin,
Green Bay; Hubert Wolf, Milwaukee;
r. B. Kirkland, Jefferson; John Bod
den, Horizon; John Dstlng, Sheboy-
gan; Y. J. Hennessey,. Max Hottelet,
pr. W. 7. Lochemes, Joseph Davies,
Paul Husting, H. a. Sawyer, James
/ l.. O'Cononr and others, all of Nil
waukee.
Both the Clark and Wilson men, who
have suggested candidates for alter
mates to the Democratic national con-
vention are laughing at the report that
they did not understand that the pri.
mary law provides for the appoint
ment Of alternates to national con-
yentions by the Democratic state cen
trial committee. It was said when the
selections were made they were mere
~ suggestions to the state central
committee. It is claimed further that
no state central committee, even the
LaFollette-controlled Republican com
mittee, would dare name candidates
not in accord with the sentiment ex-
pressed by the voters as to presi-
Dental candidates upon the primary
election ballot.
The Democratic leaders on both
sides say they are certain that if their
side prevails the delegates will be
chosen by the state central commit
Tee. State central committee members
of both parties have confirmed the
statement that the appointment of the
alternates would be in accord with
the compilations Of the delegations
chosen IN the primary elections.
