Next Tuesday the people of Wis

through primary with a contest in
the ranks of each Of the political
parties. The Republican party cast
by far the greater number of votes.
This is no time to draw party lines,
but Wisconsin is normally Repub-
lican state and any Democrat elect
ed is considered creature of cir
cumstance. The election of the So
cialist, Berger, would be little short
of calamity and all good citizens
of whatever political faith are inter-
ested in accomplishing his defeat.
In order to do this all voters inter-

should vote for the stron ger Of the
two candidates.
Irvine L. Lenroot being a candi-
