made by any Wyoming progressive of
prominence since the action of re-

so-called conservative and his state
ment gives an unreserved indorse-
ment Of the national ticket.
while I find that certain ones are
disappointed because their particular
candidates were not selected" he said.
this always follows a political con-
vention and is not to be wondered at.
Senator Harding will command the

party. The selection of Gov. Coolidge
for Vice President adds strength to

BERGER TO RUN AGAIN:
WOMAN TO OPPOSE HIM

MILWAUKEE,. July (SpeciaD.-
The. fifth Wisconsin congressional
district will soon be aflame with its
peculiar variety of politics. This is the
district which twice elected Victor
L. Berger on his war record, only to
have him sent back home by other
congressman, who refused to sit with
him.
Mr.. Berger will try it again. In the
recent socialist state convention he
refused to permit delegates to con-
slider his name for governor or United
States senator. because. he says, he
believes it more important to vindi-
cate the right of the fifth district to
send any one it chooses to Congress.
Mrs. Maude Kennan will be the DEM
ocratic candidate. contingent upon
the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment in time for her to qualify and
make an appeal to the woman voters.
Peter F. Leuch has announced his
candidacy in the republican prima-
ries as the choice of the La Toilette
wing. He will be opposed by Henry
H. Bodenstab, the fusion candidate,
whom Mr.. Berger last defeated. Mr..
Bodenstab now claims the seat which
was refused Mr.. Berger, claim upon
which the House has not acted.

be the first woman to try for con-
gressional honors in this state. She

tile as any in the country. Though it
is her first active participation in
politics, except as a democratic or
ganizer of the women's vote. she says
She will take the stump in every part
of the district.
To win she must tame the wild and
woolly socialist, who, under the di-
rect tutelage of Mr.. Berger, is sup
posed to be much wilder and woollier

win the republican nomination, Mrs.
Kennan must also repel cross fire

primary plan for nominating their

they have is compact, though il "a,

choice of the Roanoke convention did
not land the nomination. .
Discussion of the attitude of Will
liam Jennings Bryan at the San Fran

more feeling against the Nebraskan
