Lenroot Predicts
Victory Tuesday
By $4,000 Votes

CODGENILLE, Wis, March 27.-
Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot in a
speech here tonight predicted his cleo
ton to the United States Senate next
Tuesday by $4,000 majority Mr.. Len
root, who is the Republican candidate,
referred to President Wilson's position
prior TO our declaration Of war and
said that if he {Lenroot) were dis
loyal, then President Wilson was dis
loyal.
1T is my beliet that the future in
terests of America and Germany are
closely interviewer. The two coun-
tries will be natura! allies as soon as
q European upheaval takes place.
America IS the only power in the civil
OF strong, united Germany.
You may ask what all this has to
do with the election OF Wisconsin's
new member Of the United States SEN
ate-it all bears upon it most vitality.
The heart Of Wisconsin is with Presi-
dent Wilson and you want to help him.
The simple method of rendering him
service now is TO give him a Senator
from Wisconsin who will stand with
him.
"Vice-President Marshall has been
sent lnto the state to insult our citizen
snip and attack the loyalty of the Re-
publican party" said Mr.. Lenroot
Wisconsin is loyal, and the Repub-
lican party of the state is loyal. Re
rubllcans of Wisconsin are patriotically
supporting the war, and to now insult
them, as Vice President Marshall does,
IS monstrous. This attack has abso-
lutely insured my election.
Wilson Assailed
Nr. Davies and the Democratic COM
mittee are trying to make it appear
mat the Republican party in Wscon-
SIN. with its normal majority Of $4,000,
Is dlsloyal. They charge that the Re-
publican party has nominated a dis
loyal candidate
If before the war I was disloyal
then President Wilson, too. was dis
loyal Three months before we en-
tered the war | did not say that the
european war must end by peace
without victory President Wilson
sad that Three days after the sink
ing OF the Lusitania did not say we
were TOO proud to fight 1t was Presi-
18TH day of January, 1916. did not
say that | was inclined to think that
Germany had right to sink belliger-
ght merchant ships without warning.
1t was President Wilson who said that
Calls Attack Hypocritical
"Although President Wilson made
these statements prior to the war. no
one can truthfully claim that he had
anything other than the interests of
1he American people at heart NO Re
publican is charging him with any lack
oI loyalty Or OF Americanism for those
statements
i have referred to these things for
the purpose of rejecting the hypocrisy
OF the Democratic attacks now being
made upon me. Republicans Of Wis.
consln are loyal. In every field that
calls for patriotism and for sacrifices
IN Wisconsin, we will find Republicans

Bauchle Sued by
Former Wife for
$4,000 AIir1,ony
She Declares He Was to
Have Paid $4OO a
Month

George Young Bauchle. lawyer and
president of the Partridge Club, which
recently was under the investigation
Of District Attorney Swami for evi-
dence OF gambling, has suffered "severe
monetary losses" This statement was
made in his behalf in the Supreme
Court yesterday. where Mrs Florence
t'yles BauchIe, who obtained a divorce
from him, is suing for SGT 900 under
an agreement to pay S40O month
allmony to her for life, or until she
remarked. Bauck.e was not in court
to explain the "losses," but through
his attorney told the court that the
agreement was that the payments we're
to continue as long as his finances
warranted, and that he would probably
never pay less than $3.50 a month.
Mrs. Bauchle, daughter Of the late
Franklin Fyles, dramatic critic and
playwright, obtained a divorce IN Reno.
In testifying she told about the quail
lying minimum in the verbal agree
ment with Bauchle She based her
claim for $4,000 on her expectancy Of
lite according to life insurance tables.
Mr.. Bauchle," said the attorney
for the former wife, made a confess
sion to her. He seemed very uncon-
cerned about the whole matter. He
urged her that they go on living as
they had been, only in separate rooms
OF their apartments. He said he did
not care for divorce. Mrs. Bauchle
did want one, however. In view of his
admissions of fondness for the society
OF another young woman she felt that
she could no longer continue to live
as his wife,
Mrs. Bauchle said that only one
month following her divorce in Jan
uary, 1913, did her husband pay her
the maximum amount agreed upon.
After that the allowances became
smaller until they got down to $3.50,
and in November, 1915, the payments
ceased altogether.
Since that time have not received
penny from him." she said. II am
absolutely without means and am look
ing for a position to support myself"
Mrs. Bauchle said that Mr.. Eauchle
has been living at the rate of S35 900
to $4,000 a year. Mr.. Bauchle is
now living with his third wife.
Counsel for Bauchlc denied that his
client had made any confession and
asked that the absence of the de
fondant from the trial be not regarded
as an admission of the allegations BY
Mrs. Bauchle. The jury Will render a
verdict to-day.
