REPUBLICAN STATE CONFER
ENCE AT MILWAUKEE,
Will Select Slate of Candidates for
State Officers and Draw Up a
Platform for Primary.

The Citizens Republican State
conference opened at Milwaukee
Thursday in an atmosphere OF
political activity that left in doubt
the outcome of its selection of can
didates TO oppose the so-called
LaFollette progressive republicans
in the September general election
primaries.
Delegates from every county of
the state who met at the auditorium
to pick a slate of candidates for
state officers and formulate a plat
form on which these candidates
will enter the primaries, came un-
instructed and gave no indication
of what choice they would make
between the convention nominees
when balloting is commenced.
Selection of a candidate for
governor is providing the principal
interest. In this contest Attorney
General William J Morgan had an
early start but is meeting increased
opposition from former Senator
Roy P. Wilcox of Eau Claire.
+. +. Ditmar, former lieutenant
governor, is active in the race for
the nomination of the conference as
head of the state ticket, as is
Andrew Kreutzer, former state
senator from Wausau.
Henry johnson, state treasurer
for five years, last night announced
that he was seeking denomination
and was not interested in the CON
test for governor. He had been
mentioned as a formidable candi-
date for head of the state ticket.
In the contest for United States
senator at the head of the full ticket
there was less activity among the
candidates. In this connection
George w. McKerrow, president
of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau
federation is prominently mention
ed. Leathem Smith, Sturgeon Bay,
and W. A. Garfield, president of
Carroll college. are actively in the
race for the senate with a big fol-
lowing among delegates.
John F. Baker, assistant attorney
general and Mark Catlin, assembly
man from Outagamie county, re-
main the two leading contestants
for the nomination as attorney gen
eral on the state ticket with David
Summerville, assemblyman from
Rusk county, William Naylor
Tomab, and A. J Cobban, Madison,
as candidates for secretary of state.
Speaker Riley S. Young, Senator
w. H. Werden, Ashland and AS
semblyman f. W. Ploetz, are can
didates for lieutenant governor.
A contest of importance is look
ed for by politicians over the plat
form as a result of insistence of the
drys that the convention either in
clude a plank declaring for strict
enforcement of prohibition, or lose
support of the anti-saloon league.

 Tt will be centrally located" he said. and being a civic prop osition pure and simple, 1t will afford the Athletic club and other muscle-building institu- tions a place to hold wrestling and boxing tournaments, so that the crowds can be comfortably accommodated. Not only that,i but 1t will come in handy tor outdoor theatrical productions, historical pageants and the like."
 With such collective energy and enthusiasm behind the move as the Junior Chamber of Com merce, and receiving commenda- tion and praise from so many local sources. Redburn believes the plan cannot fail. Hence, he announces as fact that the sta dium will be ready for occupancy in 1923 when the rootball cam paign of that period gets going.

Harry got Peck from New York in exchange for Jones, Bush and Scott. Harry got some cash out of the deal. Mack then sent Dugan, a star of the first water, to Frazee for Peck. This done, Connie turns right around and trades Roger to the Senators for Miller and Acosta. Connie says no money changed hands on the deal. Therefore, it looks like he was fha yraat auVel

Panther Co-eds Are
 Winners by IA to 6

Although displaying . wonderful attack for . high school quintet. Coach Bryan's Jefferson county Wildcat girls were defeated by Coach .'Hoss" Gandy's Birmingham South ern Pantherettes yesterday after noon. l4 to 6.
 The game started with rush when Julia Rainey, Panther forward, threw a goal in the first few seconds of play. Following this flash. the Jeff ferson county girls tossed three bas- ksts in the short lapse of five min utes and had the Birmingham South ern co-eds trailing. to 2. However. the Jefferson girls scoring was over with, for it was just following this that Capt. Anna LaPpage got in ac- ton right away and had soon an- nexed lead that was not to be over come. She. was the star of the en- counter. shooting four goals and playing a wonderful floor game.
 Coach Gandys team showed a de- cided improvement in offensive tao ties, but still have a lot to do before their offense can be called wonder ful. However, their defense Is really good, and with an accurate tossing offense they would be almost unbeat- able. Anna LaPpage is good for ward, but aside from her the others are none too steady when shooting at the basket
 Coach Bryan has a good team out at Boyies for high school combi- nation. and should be able to give any other high school in the state stiff competition. The stars from Jef- fsrson standpoint were Agnues Drake and Carrie Pair. although the whole team played . rood brand of ball. The line-ups:
 BirminEham- Southern college: Nell Wsldrop (3) and Anna LaPpage ts), forwards; Julia Rainey (D, center; Julia Mana and Camille Reynolds, guards. Substitutions: Marjorie Or mAnd for Nell Waldrop. Mary Ander- son for Camille Reynolds.
 Jefferson County: Agnes Drake 62J and Annie Potts CD. forwards; Carrie Pair, center; Jamie Potts CD and Mildred Self, guards.

FARM BUREAU HAD
 SUCCESSFUL TRIP

]. D. Moore. chairman of the agri- cultural committee of the Chamber of Commerce, has returned from his trip to Texas with other Aiabamisns impressed with the operations of the farm marketing organizations Of the Lone Star state and the Texas farm bureau, whose efforts resulted in the organization of these associations.
 Texas marketing associations now have a total credit of more than $l6.- 100000 for the marketing of various farm products. Greater part of this credit has been extended by the war finance corporation.
 Texas Plan Ia Large
 MT. Moore was impressed both with the character and the magnitude of the Texas farm bureau operations, whose headouarters at Dallas have grown to such importance that bank CTS and other interests are consider ing the erection of a st,0oo,oo build ing to house its activities.
 T heard no complaint against the farm bureau while in Texas" said Mir. Moore. q see no reason why the Texas plan will not work in Ala bama. I am optimistic over tho plans the Alabama farm bureau have for the present year, which includes mar keting of cotton. hay and perhaps one or two other products of the soil.
 Free From Politics
 The Texas farm bureau and the one we have put on foot in Alabama are free of politics. The constitution of the organization forbids 1t. and the men in charge of its activities are specialists in their line and oi the highest type.
 T am sure the people of this state will be heartily in accord with the farm bureau after it's first year oi operation. judging from the benefits to all that will accrue"

SOLDIER QUINTET EASILY WINS FAST
 CAME FROM B. A. C..
Camp Benning Team Beats Local Five in the Hardest
 Game of Year

Using one of the fastest and best offensives ever seen In Birmingham the Camp Benning basketball team beat the B. A. c. five by score of %S to 35 on the B. A. C. court last night. The Benning boys not only had an offensive but they also had the best defensive that the Clubbers have ever had to go against.
 The game started with both teams going but It was easily seen from the beginning that the Clubbers were not in the same class with the Soldiers. In the second half, however. the To- cal five looked like a different team and they staged one of the best come backs that any team has ever staged on the B. A. c. court. When the half opened the count was 27 to IA against the B. A. C., and in a little more than five minutes the Clubbers man. aged to tic the score.
 Cranston and Johnston were the bright lights of the game. their work being ths best that any two forwards have ever done on & local floor. One of the features of the game was the way in which Cranston shot fouls. He Bnot el8nb 1OulM &Hu lno Ddhl hCfcs even touched the goal single time. Moughon and Mandy were tho stars for the B. A. c. and were closely fol- lowed by Chrisholm. who played with his characteristic speed and fight. Laughlinhouse also did good on the defensive. The whole clnb five played well but they were just not equal to the strain that the rugged soldiers put on them.
