MILWAUKEE,. wis. April t.-Wiscon-
sin politicians will find out today which
way tho political wind Is blowing. in
the primary election at which delegates

Both factions have complete tickets
for delegates in the field. II the pro-
gressives win. they will 20 to the ma
tional convention instructed to vote for
La Toilette for President. II the conser-
vative delegates are chosen, they will
be uninEtructed.
The fight has been extremely bitter
because this is the first trial OF strength
between the senior Senator and the gov
ernor since the election OF two years
ago. when Governor Philipp was victor
ious over the progressive candidate, the
progressive ranks being split by having
several candidates in the field.
La Toilette spent considerable time
touring the State. making speeches,
even after CONGRESS was In session. Be-
sides the primary. most cities OF the
State arc having municipal elections to-
day. In Milwaukee the fight Is again
between the Socialists and the non-par-
tisans.
A combination Of the Democratic and
Republican non- -partisans has been sue
cessful in two elections. Daniel NJ.
Hoan. Socialist candidate, has been
making a strong campaign, and the vote
probably will be close.
