Of Wisconsin's first presidential pri-

gates to the national conventions OF
the two major parties.
LaFollette appears to have secured
a solid delegation. although E. L.

ports indicate the possibility of the
president having secured the dele
gates In the Sixth district. Everything
aside from this seems to have gonG
LaFollette's way. including all the

Wilson appears to have beaten
Clark in almost every districs. but
there appears to be some hope OF
Clark having secured the Sixth dis

H. Weiss, who conducted Clark's cam
