"A period Of depression and discon-
tent follows every war. In this respect
Wisconsin is no different from any
other state. Radical agitators and
demagogues, instead of trying to rem
edy the situation, are making herculean
efforts to capitalize this condition for
their own selfish purposes. They seek
to divide our citizenship into classes.
Various groups are being organized to
wage war against other groups. They
endeavor to tear down instead of build
ing up.
Purpose of Organization.
"The purpose of this organization, as
stated at its inception, is to organize
the right thinking citizens of Wiscon-
sin. into a harmonious body to combat
those who seek to destroy the funda-
mental principles of American consti-
tutional government, and to adopt
measures that will assure strict econ
omy and efficiency in government and
that will relieve the people from the
burdens of taxation now being in
creased by radical dictators trying to
run the state. We have a hard task
before US. We can succeed by present
ing solid front against destructive
radicalism Let us show the nation
that Wisconsin has awakened to the
dangers that threaten it from within.
"The executive committee expresses
the confident belief that your county
will be represented in the state confer
enee on June 1st with full delegation.
May we have your reinsurance Of
this ?"
No Slate of Delegates Prepared.
After the organization of the county
conference the work of selecting TWEEN
ty delegates to the state conference on
June 1st was started. There was no
prepared slate of candidates in evil
dence and it appeared certain that the
election of the delegates would take up
much of the afternoon. There was
keen rivalry in some of the old camps
to have their leaders named as dele
gates to the convention. 1t was ex-
pected that leaders of the delegation
would be Tom Scott, Judge G. E. Ran
dali and Russell H. Jones.
It was notable fact that number
of men who were formerly affiliated,
with the Democratic party attended the
convention this afternoon.
