Milwaukee, March 2O.-Irvine l..
Lenroot, loyalist, appears to have a
slight edge on James Thompson the
La Toilette entry, in a nip and tuck
race for the Republican nomination at
Tuesdays senatorial primaries.
But the final results are submerged
in an ocean of doubt
At late hour the struggle settled
down into a balancing of Milwaukee
against the rest of the state. with the
outcome a tOss-up until the last pre-
cinct shoots in its figures.
Here are the results as indicated by
incomplete reports:
1. Joseph E. Davies has won the
Democratic nomination, defeating DR..
Charles Mccarthy five or six to one.
2. LenroOt and Thompson are run
ming neck and neck, the figures indi-
eating that LenrOOt may come down to
Milwaukee county with between 5000
and 10000 votes to the good, although
this is by no means an established fact.
8. Thompson's lead in Milwaukee
county, as indicated by fragmentary
city returns does not appear large
enough to overcome LenroOt's upstate
margin. Thompson's Milwaukee plu-
rality is estimated at about 5000.
4. Victor L. Berger, Socialist, who is
under federal Indictment for his anti.
war writings, has apparently broken
all former Socialist records in this
state. The figures indicate that he
has polled 10000 in Milwaukee county
and 5000 upstate, total of $4,000. In
Milwaukee the Socialists seem to have
given Berger as many votes as Lenroot
and Thompson combined.
Lenroot developed unexpected
strength in the western and northwest
ern parts Of the state while Thompson
rolled up votes in the strong German
American counties along the lake shore
and in the Fox river valley.
All through the Eleventh congress
siOnal district LenroOt's vote was large
La Toilette strOnghOldS fell into his
hands. For example, Rhinelander gave
him four votes for every one it gave
Thompson. Other sections In the tai
timbers performed in like manner.
Many of these northwestern counties
are SO isolated that returns do not

THAT JAPANESE CRISIS

COME time a historian will attempt to
~ tell us why the excitement over the
prospect Of Japanese Intervention in ST.
beria suddenly evaporated. At present one
theory is as good as another. 1t may be
that the objections of the United States
were responsible. Or It may be that the
commercial interests of Japan were so
strongly opposed to the policy Of the mill
fary party that they succeeded in pre-
venting Intervention. A third contingency
may be that a combination of the two is
responsible.
We should like TO believe In America
that the Japanese Government is so far
Responsive to popular sentiment that 1t
found 1t advisable to respect the wishes of
ne commercial party. Japan is only the

WHEN the smoke finally clears and the
w uproar of war becomes a memory and
the world takes time for meditation a
great many persons will be sure to de-
yelop a permanent distaste for much Of
the legend that now Is the foundation Of
grand opera. 1t may be many years be-
fore the world returns its old favor to
the Morse legends. with their persistent
glorification of the sword and the shield
and grandiose murder. Too much Of this
sort of thing seems to be incorporated in
the madness of Berlin. Too many Ger
mans are imagining themselves as Thor
--and playing the role with energy.
This American composer who has just set

lied and interpreted the native spirit Of
that work has made an experiment that
will be sure at some later day to wi, the
attention that cannot be given to It now.

WILLING TAXPAYERS

COLLECTOR LEDERER reports that
~ the income tax returns indicate that
Philadelphians are profting by the war
prosperity. Their incomes have been In
creasing since last year and. partly on this
account and partly on account of the
changes in the income tax law, the amount
TO be contributed in war taxes in this dis
trict will be three times as great as last
year.
The willingness with which persons Of
small income are paying their tax is most
gratifying They seem to be proud to have
incomes that come within the taxable limit
and glad to do their bit
But this is not enough. They are ex.
pected not only to pay their income tax.
but to invest in Liberty Bonds as well.
The stenographers and nurses and teach.
ers with no one dependent on them are
doing we'll in paying their taxes, but they
will do better when they invest In bonds
to help win the war.
