will be the favorite candidate Of the
forces opposed to the Madison ring
and its we'll organized and statewide
machine. In this final showdown it is
unfortunate that the anti-machine Re-
publicans cannot fully unite on just
one candidate One of the independent
candidates, Mr.. Barry of Milwaukee,
has Withdrawn from the contest, but
Mr.. Dithmar, former lieutenant COVER
ticket. But even so the bulk of the
anti-machinexote will go to Wilcox,
who remains in the fight in accord
ance with pledge made before the
primary, and who processes confidence
in the result if fully representative
vote can be secured.
In this connection it is pointed out
that the voters of Wisconsin occasion
ally show curious tendency to realign
themselves between the primary and a
regular election, so that the primary
result often loses the significance first
credited to it. Should this happen in
the present instance young LaFollette
may find that his initial victory was
less indicative of public sentiment in
Wisconsin, than proof that the ma
chine which is backing him did it's
work effectively. His vote, while large,
was still considerably less than that
given his father in the 1922 primary,
when the senator secured $4,000, in
round numbers, to a vote of 100000
for Garfield, his opponent. The out
come of the regular election, there
fore, possibly is less certain than
many suppose.-Milwaukee Sentinel

to your unconscious mind.
The practical psychologists tell
us how to do 1t.
Get your problem definitely in
mind.
Then relax your muscles, re-
lax your train Of thought, relax
your attention, and reduce your
self as nearly as possible to that
state of semi-consciousness that
you experience just before going
to sleep. You approximate 1t in
day dreaming and in reverie.
This is not easily done but 1t
will come with practice.
When this state is reached re-

contraction or set your conscious
mind into operation.
Then, excluding all other thoughts,
let the semiconscious impression
made by this "low tension" repe-
tition of your problem either
merge into dreamful reverie; or,
preferably, into the unconscious
ness of slumber.
or course, the object aimed at
by this self-suggestion called auto
suggestion must fall within the
range of good sense. To suggest
that black eyes become blue, or
that two inches be taken from
too lengthy stature, or that an
amputated leg be restored would

These tricks on the uncon-
scious are not acquired at one ef-
fort, and results of marked
character may not be expected at
once after they are acquired.
Repetition at regular intervals,
preferably on retiring are essen
tial to success.
