.PIRSCH NAMED
DEMO ALTERNATE
Peter Pirsch Named Alter
nate Delegate to Demo-
cratic Convention.
SMITH MEN NOMINATE


one of the alternate delegates to the
Democratic national convention from
the First Wisconsin District at the
meeting of the Democratic State Cen
trail committee at the Hotel Wisconsin
in Milwaukee on Saturday. He is the
alternate for Attorney Calvin, Stewart
of Kenosha, one of the delegates for
the First District elected by the Demo
Gratis at the recent election. Attorney
Stewart is an avowed supporter OF
Governor AL Smith of New York for
the nomination of the Democrats for
president of the United States and 1t
is presumed that Mr.. Pirsch is also
Smith supporter.
Reports from the meeting of the
committee indicated that the Smith
forces dominated it. Friends of Nc
Adoo thought they were entitled to
more than three alternates as move
for harmony in rebuilding the party
but Smiths camp insisted on Smith
alternates for Smith delegates.
Tight Race in First.
The McAdoo forces tested their
in the attempt to substitute
McAdoo alternates for Smith dele
gates in the First district. A motion
was made to elect Louis Zimmerman
of Burlington, one of the defeated Nc
Adoo delegate candidates, but so much
opposition delevoped that the motion
was withdrawn. Peter Pirsch of Ke-
nosha and S. F. Weber of Waukesha,
both Smith alternates, were then chos-
en-.
There were less desperate attempts
made to substitute McAdoo alternates
in other districts for Smith delegates,
but these were also defeated.
Madison Woman on List.
The following were named as alter
mates for delegates at large:
Raymond Moore, Milwaukee.
George B. Hilton, Oshkosh.
Thomas M. Kearney, Racine.
Miss Catherine Corscott, Madison.
Judge Lueck recommended E. B.
Bowler, Sheboygan, on the first Smith
slate at large, but consented to sub
stituting Mr.. Kearney.
There was delay in the confirmation
I,of Miss Corscott because she was not
known to all members of the commit
tee, but Judge Lueck considered it
enough that she had been recommend
ed by John Moran, Madison, one of the
delegates at large. Miss Corscott's
election made it clean sweep for the
Smith forces.

sha; S. F. Weber, Waukesha.
