BOTH SIDES CLAIM
VICTORY WISCONSIN
SENATORIAL FIGHT
LenrOOt and Davies Leaders
Say They Have No
Fear of Berger
Vote

Milwaukee, March S1.-Candidates and
orators supporting them in Wisconsin's
senatorial campaign utilized the extra
hour OF daylight today in disregard
ing the alarm clock and resting after
a strenuous week Of campaigning
There was no speaking today. but to-
morrow. the one day intervening until
election on Tuesday will be utilized to
drive home the final arguments.
Managers for both Denroot. the repub-
lican senatorial candidate, and Davies
candidate of the democrats, claimed the
election tonight. Mr.. Lenroot personal
ly claimed a minimum of $1,000 over
Davies.
Joseph Martin, democratic national
committeeman, issued a statement in
which he claimed the "Stmon-pure Amer
lean vote" on the grounds OF undiluted
loyalty TO the President and the vote OF
the population of foreign birth or extrac-
ton on the Presidents stand for the
elf-determination of small. nations.
Mr.. Davies has appealed to patriot
ism rather than to partisanship, and II
is upon the issues of patriotism that
Mr.. Davies will win" he declared.
Neither side admitted any fear OF Vic
tor Berger. the socialist candidate, who
would bring the American expeditionary
force back to the United States and re-
peat in this country the bolshevik ex-
pertinent of seeking general peace.

MOBILE COLLECToRsHIP

Washington, March 31.-(Special. THE
value of two senators working together
is exemplified in the fact that Alabama
collectors are gathering taxation and
custom duties for both Alabama and
Mississippi, whereas a few days ago a
Mississippian held one of the positions.
Senators Bankhead and Underwood i've
in harmony; Senators williams and Var.
daman spend their days in efforts to
bite each other on the neck. In conse-
quence, when the term of r. w. Maer
of Columbus, Miss, Vardaman APP
pointee, as collector of the port of Mo-
bile, expired, Alabama senators had OPP
portunity to put one over on" Missis-
sippi Because of his luminosity to Var
daman, Williams didn't care. The gov
eminent did not want to favor Varda
man, and Var6aman would haxe pre-
vented the confirmation of anyone Sc
lected by Williams.
There was the opportunity. Alabama
senators, compelled to move quickly in
order that Mississippi might not clamor
for the plum, attempted to thrust the
honor on someone. The job was offered
to Frederick /. Thompson, editor of the
Mobile Register. Mr.. Thompson was
very grateful, but found his present en-
ployment. as editor. pleasant and prof.

.BARONS WILL PLAY
SOX OR BROOKLYN
Double Header to Be Staged
Here April 10 With Locals
Playing One Game

The Barons came back from Tusoa-
loesa in good shape and after yester-
days rest will put in two strenuous
work outs today. Moley will have mis-
first opportunity TO see Altenberg in
action. The new gardener is still lit
tie stiff. but hopes to catch up with
the rest of the team before the sea-
sen starts.
The showing of the bunch against
Tuscaloosa demonstrates the fact that
our boys can certainly hit the old ap-
pie and while the pitching staff is still
unpromising, much is expected from
Pittsburg on April TO- Carlo Black was
touched rather freely by the collegians
but Moley told him to take 1t easy,
so this game is absolutely no criterion
of the southpaws ability. Whitley Glaz-
ner is looking better all the time ard
if he continues to put 'em over like ne
has been doing lately the local lad
will stay on the pay roll for the sum-
mer.
1t is probable that Moley will stage
practice game this afternoon as Long
and Slapnicka have had enough rest
to so. Fans who have been out to
see the Barons are anxious for Moley
to give Patrick Duncan a chance III
some of his games. The hefty OUT
fielder has beor slamming 'em so in
batting practice that he is counted on
to make good with a rush.
When Boston and Brooklyn play
here on April the Barons will tackle
one of these teams in the first game
while they will play each other in
the second, giving the fans doubio
header for the price of one admission.
This is the only opportunity the bunch
will have to stack up against a major
clup.

NEW SWEATER RULE

Montgomery. March Especial Ut
was a roundabout way followed by
General March in acting on the improved
suggestion of General Pershing that
America abandan its habit of sending
sweaters and other nieknacks to members
of the expeditionary force.
General March has ordered that moth
ing shall be sent unless the soldiers
make bona-fide requests for same. To
make request soldier must put such
request in writing and submit it for APP
prevail to his commanding officer. I'm
less request so approved is submitted
with the package delivered for transpor-
tatfon, the package will not be received
by mails or express.
1t all win serve the same purpose, il
is pointed out. Transports will not be
coriges.ed by freight which does not ma
terially contribute either to the comfort
or fighting strength of American soldiers,
and the wool of the country, needed to
replace shoddy uniforms, OF which there
has been formal and official complaint
will be conserved.
1t is stated in explanation of the order
of General March that commanding of

For change in classification fourth

a life story of only 40 days. Government

Mr.. Cohen must worry along under great

The new office is five miles east OF
