LENROOT |SFAC|NG
BATTLE OF HIS LIFE
Non-Partisan League Joins
With Others in Hope of
Wisconsin Control.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
MADISON, Wis, August 23.-Rad
icalism is again running amuck in
Wisconsin. The partisan League
has come into the state on a shoe
string of some 10000 members. ana
through a combination with the So
cialists. the labor extremists and with
La Toilette, always an Idol vi the
league since it started liz :e!s. it is
seeking to get a foothold in the state
house and to grab control of the state
republican party.
Senator Irvine l.. Lenroot faces the
battle of his life at the primaries Sep
tember .. His opponent is James
Thompson of Lacrosse, the La Toilette
entry, whom Lenroot defeated in the
great primary fight of 1918. during
the war.
The situation is. still extremely
critical. The campaign on the radical
side has many of the aspects of 1918.
1t includes an appeal to the elements
which made Wisconsin a sore spot
during the war. Its strong bid is for
the pro-German type, which gave Vic
tor Berger, socialist. 10000 votes in
April, 1918. when he ran against Len
root and Joseph l.. Davies. democrat.
The Non-partiSan League has a
mem bership of about 10000 in this
state. mainly recruited in the north
ern localities among poorer farmers
on the cut-over lands. mainly foreign
ers. and in some of the southern coun-
ties where Bergers "kaiserites" were
strong in the 1918 contest.
La Toilette himself still has his own
following, not SO numerous. of course,
as of old. but still CARRYING their sup
port of the senator almost to fanati-
ciSn. Then come the socialists, who
are well intrenched in Milwaukee and
some labor organiZa tons which are
under socialist influence, as in Mil
Waukee. and bringing up the rear are
Plumb plan leaders. That is the COM
bination which is seeking to capture
the republican ticket at the September
z primaries.
1t was similar combination last
spring which gave Lafollette nearly
solld delegation from Wisconsin to
the republican national convention.

a ladder and ropes and handled the bar

DUNLAP EXEMPTED
FROM MERIT TEST
Commission Takes Action After
Vigorous Protest by Former
Secretary
HIGHWAY CHIEF is PRAISED

The Civil Service Commission by
unanimous action today exempted the
Office of chief Of the bureau Of high
ways from competitive civil service ex
animation.
Action Of the commission was taken
after the move to exempt the office
was vigorously opposed by William II.
Kreider, secretary Of the Civil Service
Commission under the Smith admins
tration.
Mr.. Kreider said that when the city
charter bill was being drafted for
presentation to the Legislature, Albert
Smith Taught, secretary Of the Civil
Service Reform Association of Penn
sylvania, and other civic reformers. had
fought to have proviso included in
the charter which specifically prevented
just such action as the commission pro-
posed.
Mr.. Kreider contended that com
petitive examination was the only
means of procuring the right man for
q place, and was essential to prevent
filling city Offices Of importance by po-
litical methods.
Louis II. VanDusen, member of the
commission who introduced the motion
to exempt the Office from examination,
said that such exemption should be made
in view of the fact that Fred G. Dun
lap, appointed as chief of the combined
bureaus Of street cleaning and high
ways, had long and efficient record as
chief Of the bureau of highways. Mr..
VanDusen said Chief Dunlap "would
stand first in a competitive examination
il It were held"
Director Of Works Caven had re-
Gently requested that the Office be ex-
empted from examination. Mr.. Dun
lap received an increase in salary from
$4,000 to $4,000 when the bureaus were
consolidated.
Mr.. Van Dusen' s motion that the Of =
fee be exempted was seconded by
Chares II. Neeld, secretary of the com
mission, with Clinton Rogers Woodruff
chairman, concurring.

MOTHER, 70, FACES
TRIAL FOR MURDER
Chestnut Hill Woman Is Ac-
cused Of Staying Her
Brother-in-Law
FIRST CASE IN 1856 YEARS

A woman was put on trial for mur-
der at Norristown today, the first Of
her sex to stand trial for her life in
the history of the Montgomery county
courts, which goes back 136 Year,

twenty years old and the mother Of
two children. Her home is in Chestnut
Hill.
The young woman IL accused Of the
murder of her brother in law, who was
shot to death last summer at Will
liams station, in Whitemarsh town
ship, near Norristown.
1t is believed the defense will be
temporary insanity. The young woman
took her husband'S revolver, according
to the police, tried it to see IL it work
ed properly and went to the place where
her relatives worked, in quarry at
Williams Station
1t is alleged she engaged him in con
versation on the road, then shot him.
She started back for Chestnut Hill, but
was arrested on the way by police of
Springfield township.
The dead man was the husband Of
Mrs. Mandates sister. The defendant,

law had said in the presence of his
wife and Mrs. Mandates mother that
she had tried to win him from his own
wife. Her mother took her to task
severely, it is said, and the young
woman worried lest her own husband
should hear the story and kill her.
The trial is before Judge John +.
Miller,
