Senate Election
In Wisconsin to
est Patriotism
Governor Philipp Orders Specia]
Ballot to Fill Place of
Husting

MADISON. Wis. Feb. -. Governor
Philipp. of Wisconsin, tonight called
a special election for April to choose
United States Senator TO fill the
vacancy caused by the accidental death
last October Of Paul 0. Husting.
The special election will no doubt
serve as a test OF the loyalty Of Wis
consin. Loyalists believe they can elect
Il loyal Senator. The Governor appears
to doubt it, The anti-war elements are
confident they can defeat any candidate
who runs on a supportthewar plat
form.
A statement issued by Governor
Philip tonight declared that he called
the election against his will and that
responsibility for the election rests on
the political propagaydists who carried
on campaign Tor ii.
II am firmly OF the opinion that the
best interests OF the people of Wis
consin demand that we shall not now
call special election TO fill the
vacancy.' the statement said. Il did
not wish a mistake to be made by the
selection OF a successor who would
cmbarrass the national Administration
Al this time, or place the people OF
the state in any false 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.
I have advocated that the vacancy be
filled temporarily by appointment by
the Governor
"A vicious campaign has recently
been carried on in this state against
giving me power to make such an ap-
pointmcnt, and the Legislature prompt
ly rejected the bill I presented which
would give me power, notwithstanding
the fact that similar power had been
given Governors in thirty-four states"
Governor Philip had announced that
if given power of appointment he
would name Representative Lenroot for
the vacancy.
81 hope the people who forced this
election have the same high standard
of man in mind" he said

That the Teutons can be tempo

ports that the first Esthonian regi-
ment has deserted in a body and
offered its services to the German
commander who is operating in the
northernmost Baltic provinces.
The Russian navy. 100, is COM
pletely disorganized. and while it
is desired to withdraw the war
ships from Reval and Helsingfors
to kronstadt, only the submarine
boats are in d seaworthy condition.
The proclamation directing that re-

FRANCE TO HAVE
BOYS AND GIRLS CULBS

France is considering the adoption
|,of Uncle Sans methods Of teaching
better farming and home making to
boys and girls. Representatives
from the french high commission,
lately in this county, made a point
OF studying carefully the methods OF
the federal department of agriculture
and the state agricultural colleges In
conducting boys and girls clubs.
Much of the information thus col
lected has been widely reprinted by
the French press, accompanied by
editorial comment expressing the
view that, the man and woman
power of France having been de-
.pleted or disorganized by war SER
wee, France for some time to come
will be dependent In large part upon
its younger population for its food
supply and suggesting the formation
In France OF nationwide system Of
boys and girls clubs patterned on
those in America. It Is expected that
these clubs will grow staple products
garden produce, wool, farm grain
and forage crops, poultry and farm
grain and forage crops, poultry and
farm animals on farms not devasted,
the very soil of which must first Of
all be put in condition. They will
stimulate production by the young
people of France thru organized con-
tests not only In farming, but In
home enterprises such as bread bak-
ing, garment making, cooking, and
home management.

Gently. And she aptly illustrated her
point by citing the haste being made
by women of all classes to offer per-
sonal service In the present crisis.
AS the only woman holding Of
fetal position on the board, and as
head of Red Cross activities and
chairman of the fourth liberty loan
of the railroad administration. the
youthful war worker is in position
to observe discriminatingly this
growing pride of accomplishment on
the part OF members Of her sex.
Miss Brady admires the intense
spirit of cooperation manifested by
women, and considers 1t regretable
that public health considerations
should have forced the abandonment
Of the plan set aside October 5 as a
day of public appreciation of all the
nations war workers.
With especial recognition she
speaks of the remarkable ''out-Of-
office" work accomplished by her
own Red Cross supply unit; and of
the big results obtained for the
fourth liberty loan thru her work

been raised by this comparatively
small body Of women.
