AUTO OWNERS
TAKE NOTICE
They Have Been Parking Cars In Such
Manner That Mail Wagon Has
Had Hard Time Getting
Through.

Complaint has been made that auto
mobile owners have been parking their
cars on the postof1ce side of Blondeau
street SO close to the driveway that
runs into the p%ostofice grounds that
free passage for the U. s. mail wagons
is interfered with. The obstructing
of the mail wagon is a serious ohense,
but is probably unintentional on the
part of the auto owners POStomce Of
flcials r asking the auto owners.
those that park their cars at night
along Blondeau street, as we'll as in
the day time, to park sufficiently far
down the street to leave the driveway
cleared. It is hoped that so far as
possible the autoists will use the north
side Of Blondeau street, and leave the
postoHce side clear.

Of war munitions

shipments of war munitions to the
allies.
Victor Berger has assailed Thomp
son and is pointing to himself as the
only candidate unqualifedly opposed
to the war. Defeat of Thompson by
Lenroot, Berger's supporters believe
undoubtedly would add great strength
to Berger's position.
The acknowledgement struggle has
thrown the entire situation into a
turmoil and will permit of no final
alignment of forces for the April
election until it is decided at Tues
days primaries. There were indlca-
lions, today that If Lenroot is noml-
mated great pressure will be brought
to bear to obtain the Withdraw wal
either of Lenroot or the democratic
nominee. This would permit a two
man contest which the pro-war forces
Of both old parties would prosecute
on a loyalty issue.
The Wiscon in loyalty legion, a
state wide, nol-partisan organization
formed several months ago to COM
bat pro-Germanism in Wisconsin has
called a convention of its members
in Milwaukee for March %. Tbs
meeting probably will endorse a can
didate for the senate Members of
the legion believe their strength sufi-
cient to force the practical elimina-
ton of n pro-war candidate, should
two be nominated at the primaries.
1t was predicted generally today by
close political observers that the pri-
maries may show entirely unexpected
results. Many believe that party
lines will be completely ignored be-
cause of the jockeying Of leaders who
see possibilities of profit to their
candidates in the Lenroot-Thompson
situation. This is made possible by
the Wisconsin primary election ma
chinery which permits a voter to
cast his ballot in the primary for
any one candidate regardless of his
own political utilization. This condi-
ton. it was further pointed out,
makes it impossible to regard the
primary results as a diresct index Of
the strength that the nominees may
develop at the final election.
