Adams Here Today Seek
ing Support in First
District Fight.
REPRESENTS LIBERALS
Slate for Badger State Being
Made at the Republican
Convention in Chicago.

Kenosha had brand new candidate
for member Of Congress in the First
Wisconsin District today when F. G.
Adams Of Waukesha, came to the city
to build some political fences of his
own for the coming primary campaign.
Adams is announced as candidate on
a liberal platform and it is forecasted
that it is the plan Of his supporters
to unite behind his candidacy lot
of men who are in favor of liberal
treatment of the wet and dry question.
Mr.. Adams is expected to be one Of the
speakers at the meeting to be held at
the Knights of Columbus hall this
evening under the auspices Of the
Kenosha Caravan of the Order Of
Camels Mayor a. G. McHenry Of Osh-
kosh who some time ago announced
his candidacy for United States SEN
ator on a liberal platform, will also
be a speaker and deliver the principal
address of the evening. The announce
ment Of the meeting states that Mayor
John G. Joachim will also speak.
The Waukesha aspiranJ for Congress
is new conner to politics in the
First Wisconsin District His seeking
the nomination will bring new com
plication to the race for the Repub-
lican nomination.
Hesitate on Petitions.
AS yet no petitions have been taken
out for any Of the candidates for the
nomination on either the Republican
or the Democratic ticket. Congress-
man Randall just returned from Wash
ington, is spending considerable time
at the Republican convention in Chi
cago. He has not deemed it necessary
to issue formal statement that he is
candidate for denomination. His
campaign has already been pretty well
organized and reports from various
parts of the district indicate that he
is going to have large support from
the same men who were with him in
he primary and general election two
years ago. Fl. A. Cooper, who has been
endorsed by the Non Partisan League
and its allied organizations, it is UNI
derstood will seek the nomination on
the Republican ticket rather than on
any of the tickets proposed by the
league as an independent movement
1t is not believed that this will in any
way interfere with the endorsement
that the league has given him.
Judge Rosa Champs on Bit.
The politicians of the district are
expecting that Judge Rosa of Beloit,
will not be satisfied to have a hand
picked ticket and it is pretty certain
that he will get into the race for the
Republican nomination for congress-
man from the district. 1t is understood
that the judge is expected to make
some formal announcement within the
next few days. Petitions for the can
didates are expected to be in circula-
tion some time next week. With can
didates for the Liberals, the Non
Partisans and Republicans and Demo
Gratis in the field, it is expected that
the race will be in the nature of
chase rather than dignifed political
contest. 1t is certain that the cam
paign will prove one Of the most IN
usual in the history of the First Wis
-aasin District. There is still rumor
or two or three other candidates for
Congress. The bale of Attorney Calvin
Stewart, of this city, has been suggest
ed for the Democratic nomination, but
hr. Stewart has declared that he will
not be candidate under any circum-
stances. The district is heavily Re
publican and in a presidential year the
nomination by the Democrats is not
considered overly attractive.
Making States in Chicago
1t is generally believed that the
Republican slate for Wisconsin is be-
ing made at the convention in Chicago
this week, but people who visited head
quarters of the Wisconsin delegation
at the New Atlantic Hotel, were con
WINGED that Wisconsin is thing apart
from the rest Of the convention.
There was no frenzied interest shown
in what the Wisconsin delegation was
doing or what it might do. 1t was
given out that the delegation with the
exception of the delegates from the
First District, would vote for LaFol-
lette. What they are going to do
after the first ballot is known only to
the delegates and possibly to Senator
LaFollette, who is ill in the Mayo
Brothers hospital at Rochester. The
absence of the senator from Chicago
took much of the pep out of the Wis
consin delegation. Senator Lenroot is
+ not delegate to the convention, but
lie is one of the men in the inner coun-
Gil which is directing the movement
Of the convention. 1t is said that
the senator has no ambition to be
dark horse candidate.
WiIlett spooner for Senator.
The most interesting political Cos
sip for Wisconsin heard about the
convention is that Willett NJ. Spooner
Of Milwaukee, is to be put into the
