TROTSKY'S NEW MOVE
BIG POLITICAL INDEX
New York, March 1,

Leon TrotslSy's appointment as Com

tion Of Russia's future policy that has
come from Petrograd since the peace

their climax.

'Nissaryship of War come at time
when the Russian Foreign Offices in

Ny the more active plans Of the War De-
Dartmant.
From the beginning of the Bolshevil,
administration TrotslSy has assumed the
responsibility FOR carrying out the Gov

pan-Soviet congress would in reality
leave Russia free to solve her internal
problems it is unbelievable he would so

Rather he would insist upon having an
administrative post giving him an op-
portun ty 10 put into practice his COM
munlitie nnisit doctrines IT, is for this that
tic reform cannot be undertaken unin-
terruptedly until Russia has a real
peace. Trotsky, therefore. in all proba :
bilty, believes further revolutionary war
fare must ensue against Russia's eX-
ternal enemies before serious attention
can be concentrated on Russia's internal
reconstruction.
Thus, If the Pan-Soviet congress votes
in favor of immediate peace the decision
must not be accepted at its face value.

A Senatorial aspirants In Wisconsin
nunched their drive today for votes at

~ selected the candidates who will fight
y out at the final election April 2.
"A, - far as the primaries are concerned
tAe spotlight of national interest is CEN
&G<4d on the Republicans They are
foce to face with the issue of deciding
whether the party within Wisconsin APP
lproves or disapproves the attitude of
Uonator Robert NJ. LaFollette in mat
Iore relative to the war.
They must choose between Represen-
tafive Irvine l.. Lenroot, who has de-
.nounced La Follette's war record, and
James Thompson, whose candidacy La
Toilette has endorsed.
L.enroot seeks the nomination on a
''pro-war loyalist" platform. He is
backed by the party leaders who have
been strongest in support of the war
and who have repudiatad La Follctte's s
leadership.
& Thompson Opposes "One-Nnn Power"
La Toilette in a formal statement has
urged his followers to vote for Thomp-
ron. He declared Thompson would op.
pose "the power of one man to say
how long the war shall continue and
- define the nations war aims.
Democratic and Socialist candidates
also will be named, put within those
parties there is no issue up for decisoin
It the primaries.
30 far as the Democrats are con-
Cerned, the primary will be effective only
in. deciding on a candidate. The race
here Is between former Federal Trade
Commissioner Joseph Davies and DR..
Charles Mccarthy. They have enunci-
ated almost identical creeds. in which
loyalty and supporter the Government
are written large.
For the Socialists the primary is a
formality. since their candidate, former
Representative Victor l.. Berger. is un-
opposed Berger VIII make his fight AT
the April election on platform that
advocates an immediate armistce among
the warning nations as the first step
toward peace.
Since the entry of America into the
war the sentiment at heart of the very
lrage German-American population of
Wisconsin has been the subject of ma
tion-wide speculation. A great major
ity of this element are Republicans and
their vote may reasonably be expected
70 be a tremendously potent factor In
the selection OF the Republican candidate
Tuesday.
Il Whether a majority of the German
American voters will support Thompson
because of the stand La Toilette has
taken relative to the war is lending abb
K sorbing interest to the primaries. Len
