GOV. NOT SEEKING
j. s. SENAT0RSH|P
WILL ASK LEGISLATURE FOR
POWER TO APPOINT SUC-
CESSoR TO HUSTING.
OPPOSES SPECIAL ELECTION
Believes One at This Time Would Not
Be to the Best OF lnterest-Man
to Get Appointment Must stand
With National Government.

Madison-"I propose to call spe-
cial session of the legislature in the
near future for such legislation as is
necessar to meet the war emergencies,
and | shall include recommendation
in the call asking for authority to fill
the vacancy that exists now in the of
fee of United States senator by ap-
pointment."
The foregoing statement was issued
by Gov. Il. l.. Philip with respect to
the vacancy caused by the death of the
late United States Senator Paul O..
Husting.
Gov. Philip makes it clear that he
will serve out his term as governor
and that he is not a candidate for the
senate.
He declared that in asking appoin-
tive power he does not seek the ad-
vancing of any friend; that he would
select the strongest man in the state
whom he could induce to lake the of
fee He said that the mar to fill the
place of Senator Husting must stand
with the national government, and
that he would not consider partisan
politician
The governor does not feel that a
special election at this time would be
in the best interests of the people. He
believes it would merely serve as an
excuse for pacifists and anti-war prop
agandists "to 81 our state with their
literature and their advocates"
He believes this would break down
the spirit of cooperation on the part
of the people with the national govern
ment," which is absolutel necessary
at this time and which the executive
power of this state must insist upon"
If the Legislature gives Gov. Philip
appointive power the man named to
succeed Sen"tor Husting would fill the
vacancy until the regular election in
1918.

for the cantonments. This double
Christmas will devolve great bur
den on the transportation systems of

heavy demands imposed upon the rail-
roads by these conditions II becomes
the patriotic duty Of every citizen to
ease the burden OF transportation by
mailing Christmas packages early"

WISCONSIN BOYS
TO GET FIRST SHOT
BIG RIFLE RANGE AT CAMP
GRANT TO BE OPENED
BY BADGER TROOPS.
EAGERFOR TARGET PRACTICE
Men to Be Trained to Become Dead
Shots at Close Range - Most
Shooting to Be From Prone Po-
siton-Eat on Firing Life.

Camp Grant. Rockford, Ill. - The
Wisconsin infantTymen at Camp
Grant, the 34lst regiment, leaders III
many of the camps activities, are TO
have the honor of opening the new
rifle range here. Ever since rifles
were put into the hands of the selected
men, they have been eager for target
practice, and much to their soy an or
der was issued announcing that the
range would be ready for real business
on Nov. /.
The range is of such generous pro
portions that it will be possible for
about three thousand men TO practice
in single day, When the boys OF the
341st get into action, the entire regi'
ment will be accommodated, com
pany at time Each man will ire
ten shots, slow fire, at 100 yards. 1t
is the observation of military experts
that most of the rifle fire of troops on
the firing line in France is at short
distance and it is planned to make
Uncle Sam boys dead shots at limited
ranges. Most OF the firing will be from
d prone position.
1t is planned to give a maximum OF
rifle practice to the men before winter
sets in, but throughout the cold season
every favorable day will be utilized at
Uncle Sans big sharpshooter's school
at the local cantonment. TO insure
the comfort of the men while learning
to shoot and to allow a maximum of
time on the range provision has been
made to serve hot meals at midday
to the boys on the firing line. Under
these conditions, they will learn how
to feed themselves while in the field
and how to face general campaign
conditions
When each company has finished
firing at the targets, it will devote the
remainder of the day to kindred in
struction in shooting. The topics to be
taken up are estimating distances, fire
control, target designation, finding the
range, distribution of fire, fire disci.
pline, fire direction, signaling and the
construction of fugouts and shelters.
In preparation for the actual work
on the range, considerable time will
be devoted to drills in aiming and
sighting and to the technique of the
rifle supplementary work will in.
