The suggestion of Col. George Har-
vey, editor of the North American Re-
view, that partisan politics be laid
aside in the coming elections for mem
bers of Congress and an arrangement
made between the democrats and re-
publicans for mere form of election
to return the present incumbents has
not a ghost of show. in the opinion
Of members of the Senate. Col. Har-
vey's idea was that partisan political
contest in the present war crisis would
be a bad thing for the country.
But republicans said today that the
action of the President in injecting
himself into the fight for election OF a
successor to the late Senator Hustlns
in Wisconsin in a decidedly partisan
manner had aroused much Ill feeling
and that the rushing of Vice President
Marshall and many of the democratic
senator's to Wisconsin to aid the demo-
cratic nominee, Davies. against the re
publican, Lenroot, had intensified the
lukewarmness in loyalty brought
against the republican nominee.
Ideal, But Not Practicable.
Col Harvey's plan was called ideal,
but not practicable.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa. republican,
said that he wished it might be done
but that he doubted that any such ar
ranpement could be made There
should be no partisan political fight in
the country this fall if it could be
avoided" he said. IF the Huns win
this war it will matter very little
whether the democrats or republicans
are in power. What is needed is for
the American people, democrats and re-
publicans alike. to use every energy
and resource to bring victory. | am
informed there will be no partisan
fights in my state his fall"
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
democrat, said:
The plan is ideal. but not practical

ADVERSE VIEWS EXPRESSED
OF NON-PARTISAN ELECTIONS
Col. Harvey's Suggestion That Parties Unite
in Choice of Next Congress Regarded
as Ideal, But Not Practicable.

I for such an agreement between the par
! ties. 1t has been suggested before. and
| 1t has been taken up for consideration
by the executive committee o. the DEM
ocratic party. but 1t received little sup
port In past wars the political par
ties have nominated candidates for
Congress and conducted political cam
| paigns. and l expect they will do the
same thing in this war"
Senator Curtis of Kansas, republican,
said:
Il think to attempt such a plan would
be very unwise. There is no conflict be-
tween the parties as to the war. Both
are supporting the war and the govern
ment.
Says Republicans Support War.
I'm fact, the republicans in the Senate
have supported the administration s
war measures even more loyalty than
the democrats have, as shown by a
canvass of the votes cast The repub-
licans, therefore, have every right to
go to the people and ask for election to
the Senate and House. l believe their
election would make for the more eff
cient conduct of the war. and for a cur
| tailment of reckless expenditure of the
public money. which has been going on
for some time"
Senator Harry New of Indiana, repub-
1ican, said:
1T is foolish plan. / am opposed to
it."
Senator Salisbury of Delaware, presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, demo-
crat, said:
Il know that in several cases the
democratic organizations in the states
have determined not to nominate
against republicans who have made good
war records in Congress. l have been
informed that no fight will be made
against Senator Nelson, republican, in
Minnesota, by the democrats; in fact.
that they will indorse him. I under
stand the same is true in Iowa in re-
gard to Senator Kenyon, a republican. l
should think that such might also be
the attitude of republicans in some of
the states where democrats are stand
ing for reelection.

RIPON, Wis, March 29.-In a speech
here tonight at Lenroot meeting Rep
resentative Fess Of Ohio explained just
what happened to the McLemore reso-
luton, which has figured largely in the
Wisconsin senatorial campaign.
when it came before the House a
movement was made to table it," he
said. MANY members. including Mr..
Lenroot, insisted that the House, in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the Presi-
dent to have a show down on the
resolution. should take u direct vote
on the resolution and therefore op-
posed the motion to table. The facts
are the McLemore resolution never
was voted on in the House, because
the motion to table prevented it,

Wisconsin Campaign for Senatorship
Increases in Intensity as
Rivals Clash.

LA CROSSE. Wis. March 30.-Repre-
sentative Irvine L. Lenroot in his
speech here last night asserted that
"the democratic campaign to date has
been little short of a crime"
"The democrats have not. only been
willing to place the stamp of disloyalty
on Wisconsin, but they have taken the
controversy into the United States Sem
ate, where for two days they have
been debating the Wisconsin cam
paign,'' he said. 1T was democratic
senator's there, like Mr. Davies and
Vice President Marshall here, who
charged the republicans with disloyalty.
AT a time when the Senate should
have baen considering war measures,
they devoted their time to attacking,
not only the loyalty of the republican
party in Wisconsin, but the loyalty of
the nation. Is this the way to support
President Wilson? Is this the way to
win the war;"
SUPERIOR, Wis, March 30.-Joseph

paign for the senatorship into the home

sentative Lenroot.

Party Whip Cracking.

Every device to arouse old prejudice
is being resorted to-" said Mr.. Davies.
THE party whip is being cracked: a
frantic effort is being made to cloud
our big issue.
This war, it's sacrifices and prob
lens. have sunk into the heart of the
people, and great issues have been
made. The old familiar appeals to
party do not go. But we cannot wrap
ourselves in snug complacency, and,
like the ostrich, stick our heads in the
sand, and say we have done our part
and that the name of Wisconsin is
clear. Tuesday the acid test will come,
when in the eyes of the world our 10y
