The meeting of the democratic
state central committee at the
Hotel Martin last week by vote OF
Z to 6, adopted resolution provld-
ing for a democratic state conven-
ton to be held in Milwaukee for the
purpose of receiving recommended
lions of candidates for delegates to
the national convention.
Mr.. La Budde insisted that the
convention must only recommend
thereby conforming TO the true
spirit of the. primary law. A con-
yeution which would meet and select
delegates, would then be denying
the people the rights which they
have under the law. Mr.. Karel
said the purpose of his motion was
that of recommending only, and he
changed it to conform to the sug-
gestion of Mr.. LaBudde.
Richard Hennessey of Milwaukee
offered the following resolution OF
tribute to the Wilson administra-
ton:
"Resolved, That it is the unani-
nous and abiding sense of this
meeting that we express our entire
confidence in the manner in which
the president of the United States,
Woodrow Wilson, has handled the
foreign and domestic policies of our
country, and that we appreciate
that the course he is following, best
guarantees for our people continued
peace and prosperity, and for our
government international respect
and friendship"
William Ryan of Madison, offered
the resolution recommending to the
consideration of President Wilson
the name of Chief Justice Winslow
of Wisconsin for the vacancy on the
federal bench.
Copies of both resolutions adopted
without a dissenting vote, will be
forwarded to the president.
The original vote stood Z to o in
favor of the convention, this being
made unanimous Immediately fol
lowing announcement of the result.
Then followed a scramble of cities
for the convention, the date of.
which will be fixed by Chairman
Martin. Madison and Oshkosh bid
with Milwaukee, the vote standing

all sitting under the upper plane and
thus giving rise to the nickname Of

chiefly used for directing the fire of
the guns. In an ordinary mOnoplane
it is difficult for the observer to see
below him.-PearsOn' Weekly.
