WILCOX SELECTED
 SENATE CANDIDATE
Will Be Republican Choice aS
 LaFollettGS Successor

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug 1t Fl-Foy P. Wilcox of Eau Claire, lawyer, was unanimously nominated as the Coolidge republican candidate for United States senator 10 fill the va cancy caused by the death of Robert N. LaFollette of Wisconsin. He will go to the polls opposing Robert M, LaFollette, Jr., who has announced his candidacy for the office. Both men will run on the republican ticket
 The nomination Of Wilcox by the Coolidge republicans came after q day of speech making and collabor- ation in which all factions of that wing of the party in Wisconsin worked in harmony.
 Only one formal ballot was taken late last night after three informal ballots had shown Wilcox strength. six names had been placed in nomi- nation before the convention, which burst into cheers at the mention of the name of President Coolidge, and CHeeTeu ldih py Chltcp S'"tNo ESh atcr I. L. Lenroot.
 Dean H. L. Russell Of the College of Agriculture of the University of Wisconsin, led the first two ballots and then after conference with Will COX supporters withdrew his name from the list. George L, Blanchard, permanent chairman of the conNen- ticn, was urged to enter the race but refused, and the fourth ballot, the first on which nomination might be had, was under way.
 Before half of the counties had been called, it became apparent that Wilcox was the choice of the con- yention, and county after county swung to him The formal count showed him so far in the lead that the ballot vas made unanimous when ". L. Pieplow, Milwaukee, who had 1s3 votes and vas run ming second to WilcoX. threw his strength to the winner.
 In brief speech, Wilcox urged al Coolidge republicans in the state fol- low the example set by the conven- tion and work in harmony through out the campaign.
