BADGER SOLDIERS
ANXIOUS To VOTE
Fear They Will Not Have a
Chance in Coming Election.
MEN DISCUSSING POLITICS
Some Lively Debates in Camp Ex-
pected Even If Guardsmen Are
Not Able to Cast Their
Ballots.

San Antonio, Textile five thou
sand members Of the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guard who are encamped mere
are beginning to grumble because they
believe that they are going to be de-
prived of the right to vote in the COM
ing elections. The men realize that I'M
less some action is taken soon looking
toward the passing of law that VIII
permit absentee-voting, they will not
have an opportunity to cast their bal
lots this year.
With the campaign in full swing,
politics has begun to enter into the
discussions Of the men in camp here
and whether the soldiers are given the
ballot or not, it is expected that there
will be some lively political debates IN
the Badger camp.
The feeling among the Wisconsin
soldiers that they should be given q
chance to vote was especially strong
when it was understood that Governor
Dunno of Illinois would call a special
session Of the Illinois legislature to en-
act a law permitting the soldiers from
that state to vote, but reports have
been received here to the effect that
his plan has been abandoned because
of Governor DUNES inability to obtain
an assurance that the necessary mum
Der of legislators would attend the SEES
sion and it is thought that the failure
of the Illinois soldiers to get the ballot
may comfort the Badger troops if they
are not given the chance to vote.

Men Face Loss of Positions.

Wisconsin militiamen in Texas who
have been drawing their salaries from
patriotic employers at home now are
being confronted by the proposition of
either going back to fill their positions
or losing them. At the time of the
general call on the militia many large
corporations volunteered to pay the
salaries of their employees who en-
listed or who were already members
of the guard, to their families.
Now believing that there is no need
for the militia on the border, these
employers are notifying their men that
they cannot continue to pay their sal
aries or hold open their jobs any
longer

Board Warns Against Measles.

Great as has been the scOurge of in
fantile paralysis throughout the cOun-
try for the last three months, particu-
larry in New York city, there has been
an epidemic Of measles almost three
times as great in the number of cases
and not far behind in mortality and
serious after effects, according to
statement issued by the Wisconsin
board of health. Measles has been
widespread in many sections of Wis
consin, and just now is raging in
western parts of the state.
During May, June and July 9,71O
cases of measles were reported in New
York city, while there were 1902 cases
o. infantile paralysis. Measles ranks
witt smallpox i'll communicability;
with scarlet fever in mortality, and has
serious complications and after effects.
It's cause, like that of infant paralysis,
is not yet known.
1t is highly important, the board
urges, that parents comply with all
rules governing the isolation and care
OF the patient. Neglect in these re-
CARDS has spelled the death or perna-
nent injury of thousands of youths ey-
cry year. If fraction of the care be-
ing taken to avoid poliomyelitis infec-
ton were practiced to avoid measles,
the latter would lose large proper
