EQUALITY IS ASKED BY

Have Hearing.

Paris, March 81 - A japanese
amendment to the covenant of the
league Of nations providing that the
contracting parties shall agree to
grant equal and just treatment" to
all aliens within their borders who are
nationals Of states that are members
OF the league will be submitted to the
supreme council it is learned by Reu-
ter's from Japanese sources. The
standpoint of the Japanese is that all
citizens Of nations deemed sufficiently
advanced to become members of the
league should have equal rights when
travelling Or living in foreign coun-
tries, it is said. While the Japanese
delegates do not accept the view that
treatment of foreigners and discrim-
mating immigration laws are purely
matters of domestic policy, they say
they are content to ask from the
league only recognition Of the claim
Of their people now living in foreign
countries to equal rights with other
aliens.
Neutral countries of Europe, Asia
and Central and South America have
opportunity to express their views and
propose amendments to the league of
nations plan. Nearby neutrals, such
as Holland and Switzerland, have
sent delegates in response to the invi-
tatiOn of the supreme council, while
more distant countries will be repre-
sented by Ambassadors and ministers
residing in Paris.

.FkVORS JUDGE Rosenberg
Judge CIementson Issues Letter to
County Chairmen on Supreme
Justice Fight.
Lancaster, Wis. March IS, 1919

Lancaster, Wis, March Is, 1919.
Dear Sir:
write to you to ask you to do what
you conveniently can to get out full
vote on April 1st for Honorable Marvin
B. Rosenberg for Justice of the Su-
was appointed to that important Office
in February, 1916, by the Governor to
succeed Justice John Barnes VINO re-
signed. This appointment under the
law could only be until lawful cleo
ton could be held to elect successor to
Justice Barnes. Such election took
place last spring. The two candidates
were Justice Rosenberg and Mr.
Crownhart. Rosenberg was elected by
over $4,000 majority. That election un
der the law was only to fill the unex
pired term of Justice Barnes which
would end on the first of January,
$780, therefore we again this spring
must elect Justice of the Supreme
Court for the ten year term commenc-
ing with next year. No reason has
been given or can be given why in the
interest of the people and in fairness to
himself Justice Rosenberg should not
be elected for the full term. His char
acter is unblemished; his sense of JUS
| tice is acute; his health is good; his
strength to work is great; and his
| oh; ha ,,lo
are universally conceded.
It. was thought that after the large
majority he had received that he would
have no opposition this spring It was
| felt that fairness to him demanded that
he should receive the endorsement of
the people for the excellent work he
had done since he became a member
of the court. But on the day before the
time for filing nomination papers ex-
pired Mr. Julius 7. Dithmar, young
man occupying a subordinate position
in the attorney generals office, filed
nomination papers emitting him to be
a candidate for the position. No one
with knowledge of the individuals
would have the hardihood to assert
that he has either the legal ability or
general capacity of Justice Rosenberg.
Mr.. Dithmar must have sense enough
to know that on his own merits he
could not expect to defeat Mr.. Rosen-
berry. I have good reasons to believe
that he was assured that if he would
be candidate that the strong Socialist
vote of the eastern part of the state
would be wholly given to him. l was
holding court in Milwaukee when his
candidacy was announced and | know
that Immediately thereafter one of the
Socialist leaders of that city. stated to
one of the circuit judges that they (the
SociaIists) were going to beat Rose. ber-
ry and were going to elect the social
ist candidates on the judicial ticket of
Milwaukee county and city-that they
were going to get the judges.
To help keep our Supreme Court up
to its past high standing of ability and
and integrity every voter should cast
vote for Rosenberg
Very truly yours,
GEO CLEMENTSoN.

candidates in the State election

on the market, and good prices ruled
for these. Several horses changed
owners on the public square at fair
prices, while at the stock yards bus.
mess was brisk in the livestock line
shoppers for winter goods filled the
stores. and merchants report a salts
factory business, especially in the
line of winter apparel and kindred
things. With the credit system com
ing closer and closer to the thirty
and sixty-day payment plans, collec-
tions were very fair all along the
line. Political speaking at. the

large numbers of farmers.
