WISCONSIN, CHIEF FEARS CAMPAIGN
 0F V|C|0USNESS
Says He Is Forced to Call Election to Fill Senatorial Vacancy Against His
 Will

Madison, Wis, February Ex-Governor Phillpp. of Wisconsin, tonight called a special election for April to choose a United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by the accidental death last Oc- tober of Paul o. Husting.
 A statement issued by Governor Phil lipp tonight declared that he called the election against his will and that re- sponsibility for the election rests on the political propagandists' who carried on campaign for it.
 q am firmly of the opinion that the best interests of the people of Wiscon- sin demand that we shall not now call a special election to fill the vacancy the statement said. T did not wish a mistake to be made by the selection of d successor who would embarrass the national administration at this time, or place the people of the state in any light before the country and the soldiers and sailors from this state
 For these and reasons set forth in my recent message to the legislature, l have advocated that the vacancy be filled temporarily by appointment by the governor
 Under the statute governing special elections not less than 35 nor more than 40 days can elapse from the time of the call until the election is held. I believe this too short to make a campaign such as should be made by a candidate for United states senator.
 "A vicious campaign has, however been carried on in this state against giv- ing me power to make such an appoint meut and the legislature promptly re- jected the bill 1 presented which would give me power, notwithstanding the fact tEat similar power had been given gov ernors in S4 states
 Governor 9Phitlipp had announced that if given the power he would appoint Congressman Lenroot.
 T hope the people who forced this election have the same high standard of man in mind,' he said.
