Has Reached "SweepIns Claims" Stage
With All Sides Claiming

I United Press Leased Wire Service1
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. March 90
Wisconsin's senatorial campaign had
reached the sweeping claims" stage
today.
Leaders of the democrat fight In be-
half of Joseph Davies issued figures
designed to prove that Davies will be
elected April 2 by plurality Of $4,000
votes.
Forces behind Irvine L. Lenroot, re-
publican, will elect him by a $4,000
margin, managers of his campaign de-
clared today.
Victor Serger, socialist nominee, re-
fused to make numerical claims, but
asserted that the immediate peace
sentiment would carry him to victory
by satisfactory margin.
Hundreds of additional speakers
were thrown into every corner of the
state today by all three party organi-
cations and the final three days OF the
campaign will see the greatest blaze
of political oratory in Wisconsin's his
tory.
Apparently minimizing Berger's
chances of election, the democratic
and republican candidates are center
ing their attacks on each other, and
the loyalty issue uppermost during
the primary campaign has been re-
placed to large degree by partisan
politics.

THIEVES ARE
STILL BUSY
Entered Three Places Last Night,
but Got Away With but
Little Property Of
Value.

Thieves last night entered Bige-
lows garage on Ninth street and
got away with one Firestone tire
3Ox31a, and about fifteen or twenty
three-cent postage stamps. They
forced an entrance by breaking the
glass in one of the doors and then
turning the lock- The desk was
rifed and contents strewn about, but
nothing of value was taken from 1t.
The job seemed to be done in very
amateurish way and appears to be
the work of young boys.
Ackerson and Ringstrom's furnf-
ture factory at Eighth and Johnson
was also broken into through side
window. They tore UP the desk and
scattered papers about, but took
nothing of value from the premises.
BANDS blacksmith shop at Tenth and
Johnson was also entered and the
same scattering of papers over the
desk gone through with, but no prop
erty taken.
The police are working on the
cases now and feel reasonably sure
that they know the parties who are
getting away with these night rob-
berries. Each case seemed to be the
work Of young boys from the crude
manner in which an entrance was
gained.

IBy II. c. Hamilton. United Press

NEW YORK, March 20. - Jack
Dempsey is lucky bird, after all A
match with Fred Fulton would have
been a bad thing for the young
meteor who has been whipping the
cream and other parts Of the heavy
weight brigade. Chances are Fulton
would have given him licking at his
present stage of development, and
there would have been nothing but a
lot of glory and some excellent press
agenting material If Jack had been
SO unfortunate as to get himself into
q match with Jess Willard.
There is no doubt that the public
wanted to see Dempsey and Fulton
In action. In view of the fact that
the public makes the bouts and pop
u1arizes matches, 1T may be consider
ed that Fulton and the promoters
went wrong in not pulling OF E.
Dempsey bout. But there should be
Dempsey Is progressing in nice, easy
fashion, getting himself ready for
championship bout in the future that
will mean a lot more to him than
bout of that size at present.
With a man like Dempsey on the
horizon Fred Fulton will have to
fight soon, provided he is successful
in wrestling the championship from
Willard. And, If Willard successfully
defends his title against Fulton he
will be forced into match with the
West Virginia-Utah slusger.
Keen competition in the heavy
weight ranks is stirring up lot OF
favorable talk. The fans are eager
for the thing to be thrashed out and
started all over again. Even in these
war times, the bouts that are in pros
pect look like record breakers in the
matter of gate receipts and attend
ance.
When Jess Willard fought Frank
Moran in the only bout he has con-
descended to enter since he defeat I'D
Jack johnson. Moran was conceded
only a very small chance OF winning
The bout was only ten rounds
mere exhibition affair in the ranks
of the heayyweights. yet that ,oout
drew more than 100000. Madison
Square Garden held one Of the great
est crowds that ever saw boxing
match. With these facts In mind. it
seems safe to assert that, with
popular challenger like Fulton going
into the lists for bout longer than
the degrading ten rounds that hav=
been prevalent, the receipts and gate
will overstep anything ever seen.
There won't be the chance for adj
vertising and bitter argument that
existed in 1910, when Jeffries was de-
feated. But the people are eager to
see the bout and there will be a fair
amount of pre-fight talk.

in Favor Of an Eastern

[By H. c. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, March 29.-General
belief today is that within few days
final announcement of the spot where
Fred Fulton and Jess Willard will
muss each other will be made in this
city.
Colonel Joseph c. Miller Of Bliss.
Oklahoma, is here meeting eastern
promoters. He has declared himself
in favor Of an eastern location for
the scrap because population is more
concentrated along the Atlantic sea-
board. However, Denver and Mime
apolis, not to speak of other cities are
still bidding and the bout may go
to one Of them.
Difficulties in travelling will be
taken into consideration by the pro-
moter
An out-of-the-way spot is not to be
considered, Colonel Miller said, for
the reason that transportation Of
passengers in these days is largely
a matter of luck.
So long as Dominick Tortorich and
Matt Hink1e who are trying to pull
off the mill in New Orleans stick to a
demand for "A change in the proposed
date to some time in November, they
viii not be given any consideration.
Colonel Miller has made up his
mind to that. The bout will be held
July 4 next. 1t will be held some
place where there isn't chance that
the authorities will interfere.
Colonel Miller protests there isn't
any circusing involved. He merely
wants to promote the bout. And he
is determined to do it just as he first
started.
