These were the state tickets named
by the Republicans in convention at
Madison, and the Democrats in con-
vention at Milwaukee on Wednesday
afternoon. The Republican convention
was harmonious gathering Of more
than twelve hundred members Of the
party while the meeting in Milwaukee
was featured with bitter fractional
fights and after the Democratic CON
vention was over it was declared that
a second convention would be called
by the Karel faction of the party and
another ticket named. Senator Husting
was in complete control of the voting
strength Of the Democratic convention
but there was a bowling noisy min
GRITTY which promises to do dire things
to the party before the election.
The Republican convention at Madi-
son was the most notable political
gathering held in Wisconsin since the
enactment of the primary election law,
Every assembly district in the state
was represented and many men who
have been considered lukewarm in re-
gard to the party organization came
back into the fold and had part in
the proceedings. In the making up of
the state ticket all branches Of the
party were recognized and the ticket
is regarded as an ideal one from every
standpoint.
The platform, which was read by
Levi p Bancroft, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, closely iden-
titles with the Republican national
convention, and was received with
cheers. Delegates regard the declara-
tion Of principles as constructively
progressive.
While the delegates took no action
relative to a special session of the
legislature to enact law whereby
absent Wisconsin guardsmen would be
permitted to take part in the fall cleo
tions, the enthusiasm which greeted 4
telegram from Maj. Cousins dealing
with this subject indicates that the
convention favored some plan permit
ting soldiers to vote even if absent
from the state. Maj. Cousins in his
telegram suggested that if the present
law does not so permit, that the con,
vention take some action requesting
Gov. Philip to call an extra session of
the legislature to meet the situation.
The Democratic platform adopted at
the Milwaukee convention featured an
endorsement of the Wilson administra-
tion and an endorsement of the ma
tional Democratic platform Little at
tention was given to state issues
Kenosha Republicans were united
with the main body Of the party in the
nominations made at Madison. Keno
sha Democrats are divided and it is
certain that many of them will be list
ed with the men under Judge Karel
who declare that second convention
will be called and a second ticket
nominated Postmaster James German
was the only local man who had an
official part in the conventions He
was chairman of the permanent organi-
cation committee at the Milwaukee
meet.
