Milwaukee, Wis, March 19.-Wash-
ington and allied capitals look to Wis
consin today to approve this govern
rents war course.
AS voters went to the polls to nom
irsate three senatorial candidates in a
special primary the first real political
crisis since America entered the
world war was under way.
Issues of the primary have put it
souarely up to the Republican party
To assert the stand of the Badger
state on the conflict. Republicans
have always predominated in Wiscon-
sin and their vote today is expected
tg fully record the states war attitude

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette.
He's for Prosecuting War. Too.

platform urging vigorous prosecution

Follette's stand on the war and the
stand taken by the national admins
tration.
Lenroot, speaking at Eau Claire last
night, struck the final blow which sep
arates him entire from the senior
Badger senator. Both had been
Republican co-workers for twenty
years up to the time of Americas
entry in the war. Lenroot declared he
has not changed but asserted La Fol-
Iette had.
Davies Favored by Democrats.
There is a bitter contest for the
Democratic nomination with both can
didates running on a loyalty plat
form. Joseph E. Davies, administra-
tion man. opposes DIR. Charles Nc
Carthy, who has armed himself with
a note from Presidential Secretary
Tumulty asserting the administrati ton
would take no part in the primary.
The betting today favored Joseph
z. Davies but there are many bets
favoring McCarthy's nomination. The
latter claims a large part of the labor
and farmer vote
Altho the weather turnout the state
was mild and the sun shone Clearly,
roa Dis are in such condition that il is
expected the rural vote will be light.
It is probable the cities will decide
the nomina tons. Milwaukee labor
voted early. Polls were crowded at
a. m.
a record vote is expected at the
primary despite the fact special
election seldom draws heavily in the
staging municipal elections and wet
and dry fights. In these cities the
vote will be heaviest.

Victor L. Berger is the Socialist
nominee unopposed. He will make a
strenuous battle for election, April 2.
Polls in most of the larger cities
will be open until o'clock tonight.
However, many communities will have
completed balloting at $50 D. m
