Primary Prospects
Puzzle Politicians
States Wisest Forecasters Stumped by
the Mixed Possibilities of Primary
on September 7th.,
tBy Associated Pressl

Milwaukee The primary campaign
has developed such complexities that
no forecast on the outcome is ventured
by political observers. The conserva-
tive Republican vote will be divided
between Col. G. E. Seaman of Milwau-
kee who served with Wisconsin troops
overseas and Senator Roy P. Wilcox of
Eau Claire who two years ago came
within 400 votes of Wrestling the NOM
inatien from Gov E.. L. Philip. Gel
Seaman is backed by Governor Philip,
leader of the conservatives, and by ex-
Governor F. 4. McGoyern. a Progress
i've, who was a Roosevelt man in 1912
Col. Seaman was also CHOOSE" in
that campaign.
LaFolIette Vote. to Be Split.
The LaFollette vote will be split be-
tween Atty.-Gen. John J Blaine of
Boscob5l and Lieut.-Gov, E. F. Dithmar
of Baraboo. The double candidacy is
the result of factional differences
Blaine has the personal endorsement
of Senator LaFollette and is also the
choice of the Non-P Partisan League
Dithmar, who has given years Of serv-
ice to the LaFollette cause, considered
himself entitled to recognition and
when it was refused he entered the
campaign Independently. He is be-
heved to be heavily backed by the So
called German vote" which now con-
stitutes a large part of the LaFollette
following.
The fight is further complicated by
the candidates.. Of Secretary of State
Merlin Hull of Black River Falls cam
paigning as a "dry" and J. N. Title
more of Omro, president of the Society
of Equity. By reason of past afilia-
tions, both of these candidates will
draw from both the Conservatives anc
the Progressives.
Fight for United States Senate.
The Republicans senatorial fight i
equally in doubt. Senator Irvine L
Lenroot of Superior is putting up az
intensive campaign to hold his sea
against James Thompson Of Lacrosse
endorsed by the Non-Partisan League
and by Senator LaFollette.
Mayor A. C. McHenry of Oshkosh il
the recognized "wet" candidate on
platform to repeal or amend the Vol
stead act and the eighteenth amend
ment to permit light wines and goot
beer.
In the delegate campaign last spring
Thompson, leading the LaFollette slate
defeated Governor Philip, head of tn
"uninstructed slate" by $4,000. TIL,
Philip slate had the endorsement o
Senator Lenroot. It is figured that tn
chances are now evened up somewha
by the McHenry candidacy and othe
political developments.
Democrats have no primary contests
They will nominate Col. R. B. McCo.
of Sparta, an overseas commander, TO
governor, and DR.. Paul S. Reinsch o
Madison, former ambassador to China
| for United States senator.
The primary is September 7th.

URGES WOMEN TO
REGISTER EARLY
Kenosha County Women
Voters Urged to Get
Names on Poll Books.
MRS. YOUMANS TELLS


Kenosha county women who expect
to take advantage of their newly gain
ed right to vote in the coming cleo
tions are urged to register at the
earliest possible time in a special bull
letin reaching Kenosha today by Mrs.
Henry NJ Youmans, associate chair
man of the Republican State Central
committee of Wisconsin. In state
ment Mrs. Youmans says:
"Women who wish to exercise their
new right as voters must remember
that they must register, providing
they live in cities having more than
5000 population, or in cities having
less population if registration is or
dered by the city authorities.
First Day is August 81.
"The first and best registration day
is August 81. It is possible to register
on primary election day, September z,
but the election officials will be Sc
crowded by the addition of many new
voters that it will be extremely diff
cult to register.
Registration takes place at the poll
ing place in each election precinct.
Women register under their own given
or Christian name rather than their
husbands name. Thus woman reg
listers as Mrs. Mary Smith or Mrs.
Stella Jones, rather than Mrs. John
Smith or Mrs. James Jones.
Qualifications of women voters in
Wisconsin are the same as for men
voters.
"I1A order to vote, woman must be
2f years of age; citizen of the United
States; a resident of the State Of Wis
consin one year; and in the election
precinct in which she offers to vote.
ten days.
mo person who is a pauper, under
guardianship, non composmentis, or in
sane; and no person convicted OF
treason or felony unless restored to
civil rights, is qualified to vote,
married women are of the same
citizenship as their husbands, If the
husband is a citizen of the United
States and a. resident of Wisconsin
the wife may vote providing she is
otherwise qualified. If the husband is
not citizen of the United States and
a resident of Wisconsin, the wife may
not vote.
Unmarried women are citizens if
their fathers were citizens; or, though
their fathers were alien, they were
born in this country; or if they have
been naturalized."
Speaks on Ratification.
Mrs. Youmans, in discussing the
ratification of the federal amendment
in Tennessee, says:
cit is interesting to note that young
Mr.. Burn, who cast the decisive vote
in favor of ratification after the great
battle in the legislature at Nashville
1 is a Republican. He thus carries oui
| Republican traditions already well es
tablished, in favor of the enfranchise
ment of women.
/ Because the Republican party
more than any other, has given wo
ment the vote, and because it has tax
en- q more advanced stand in educa
ton, in industrial legislation, mora
legislation, and other things in which
women are interested. I believe tina
a great majority of the women ofsWis
consin will vote for the success 0.

Paris rarely affords. The diplomatic
corps, including American Ambassador
and Mrs. Wallace, members of the gov
eminent, and leaders of society ap-
plauded the piece and showered com
pliments upon the queen. The little
fairy tale was set to the music of
many composers, Grieg, Debussy, Men
delssohn and others. La Loie Fuller,
the American dancer and her pupils
interpreted the fairy scenes. The cast
included Stroesco, Bayard, Parry
Caillebet, Jeannine Zorelli and Nine
Lemoine. It is the story Of a beauti-
full princess whose sister is loved BY
Prince Charming. He became i'll and
the two sisters nursed him. The I'M

Britons and Yanks

AngIo-American Alliance VIII be Made
Stronger by English Commissions
Visit to the States.
by Associated Pressl

London American delegates who at
tended the recent meeting in Paris of
the international Chamber Of Com
merce were entertained yesterday at
a luncheon by the Association of Brit
ish Chambers Of Commerce.
E. Manville, member of parliament,
said that return visit of British bust
ness men to the United States had
been arranged for autumn with view
to promoting the cooperation Of the
English-speaking peoples.
Albert j. Hobson, who presided, in
proposing the health of the guests,
said that the war had demonstrated
that never again could the United
States pretend that they were not con-
cerned with European politics. In
such circumstances it was most desir-
able that representative men of bust
ness in the two countries should meet
to discuss those things which we're
most likely to lead to friction. Am
orleans had convinced EngEshmen of
the necessity of getting alongside Of
them, and having done so they did not
intend to let go but intended to know
and understand Americans better.
L s. Gillette, president of the Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce, said
the Americans had come to this coun-
try to see how they could best meet
the wants of the allies in raw mater
ials, increase production, improve ex-
change and in other ways. He added
that 100000 men representing the in
tellect and energy Of the United States
believed that by mutual help and by
correlated effort they would be able
to travel far on the same road with
the British people.

BULLETIN.

Representatives OF one of the
insurance companies carrying a
large policy on the life of the late
Charles Pacini, came to Kenosha
TO Investigate the circumstances
attending his death. 1t was said
that it was possible that the nature
of his death might raise ques-
ton as to whether or not ''acci-
dent insurance should be paid.
The agents of the company con-
ferred with Assistant Attorney
General Gilman several times
during the day.
Up to three O'Clock this after
noon an important clue which had
been followed by the police, failed
to furnish any developments. 1t
was admitted that there we're lots
of clues being followed.
81 can say that the police are
following a number of reports in
an effort to get some infOrma-
ton" said the assistant attorney
general Just before three o'clock.

The trucks worked on a pretty reg.
ular schedule, one hurryihg away to
the Gordon home to be unloaded while
the other was being filled up at the
car. The truck drivers speeded up
pretty lively to prevent getting be-
hind on the schedule.
Must Account for All Shipments
Postmaster German while he de.
clared that there was no way to stop
the unloading of the shipment SO ing
as Gordon had secured a permit lrom
the government authorities, pointed
out that a strict account would be de-
manded of all of the liquor and that
it was to be disposed of "only for
medicinal purposes" according to the
law.
Gordon is the same man who less
than two weeks ago received a car of
''Virginia Dare" which was marked
"for medicinal or sscramental pur-
poses only" This car was the one
which Constable John Scholey watched
all night long and found in the morn
ing that he could not interfere with
it's being unloaded because Gordon
had permit as wholesaler. The
shipment received today was not mark
ed "for sacremental purposes" but
only to be used as medicine.
Among the employees of the tan
merry who watched the unloading of the
car Thursday afternoon there were
rumors that another car similar to
the one unloaded today had been side
tracked on the Tannery switch and
unloaded only a few weeks ago. 1t
was not said that this car was to the
same consignee as the one received in
Kenosha on Thursday and no one
could tell definitely regarding it,
