Special Primary
Election Tuesday
Candidates for United States Senator
Will Be Chosen; Four on
Republican Ticket.

A statewide special primary cleo
ton will be held in Wisconsin next
Tuesday, Sept. Is, to select candi-
dates for United States Senator to
be voted for at special election to
be held on Sept. % A United States
Senator to fill out the unexpired
term of the late Robert NJ. LaFol-
lette, will be chosen at the Sept. %
election.
Three parties-Democratic, Re-
publican and Socialist-will be rep,
resented on the ballots handed voters
at the polls next Tuesday. Since
there is but one candidate on each
of the Democratic and the Socialist
tickets, it remains for the Republic
ans to furnish the excitement.
On the Republican ticket there are
four candidates. Robert NJ. La-Fol-
lette, Jr., wants to fill the place made
vacant by his fathers death and rep
resent Wisconsin in the senate at
Washington. The other candidates
are; Daniel Woodward, of Kau-
kauna; Francis F. McGovern, of Mil
waukee; and Roy P. Wilcox, of Eau
Claire.
Roy p. Wilcox received the en-
dOrsement of the Stalwart Republic
ans at the state convention held at
Oshkosh and is making his campaign
on the plea that he is the candidate of
the so-called regular Republicans.
Young Bob" LaFollette stands alone
as the representative in this political
battle of the Progressive Republic
ans.
Due to the short period of time be-
tween the date of the proclamation
by Gov. Blaine ordering a special
election and the date of the primary,
the candidates have had to make
their campaigns fast and spirited.
Should he be defeated at the prim-
airy, Mr. Wilcox will still have a
chance to continue in the race
against Young Bob" for he has filed
nomination papers with the secretary
of state and his name win appear on
the ballot at the special election on
Sept. % as an independent candi-
date.
The polls will be opened next Tues
day at 8 A. NJ. and will be closed at
$50 P. NJ. in cities, and opened at
8 A. NJ. and closed at p NJ in
towns.

Democratic Party
Leaders Uneasy
Fear That Their Party Members Will
Vote for Republicans and I'm
peril Bruce's Nomination.

Democratic leaders are manifest.
ing uneaslness lest their party mem
bers go into the Republican primary
in such numbers as to imperil the
nomination of William G. Bruce, the
Democratic nominee.
To be nominated in the Democrat
ic column, Mr.. Bruce must poll 49,
878 votes, which is equal to per
cent of the vote received by Judge
Martin l.. Lueck for governor last
year If Mr.. Bruce receives fewer
than per cent Of the votes, his
name will go into the Independent
column on the general election bal
lot.
If the total vote cast in the pri-
mary is large enough, there is little
question that Mr.. Bruce will receive
large enough share to nominate
him, even if many Democrats vote
for one or the other of the Republic
an candidates. If the primary vote
is scant, Mr.. Bruce might be crowded
from the Democratic column.
The danger to Bruce lies in the
possibility Of a light primary vote
and in the very large vote polled by
Judge Lueck last fall The Lueck
vote of 317,550 was so much greater
than the normal Democratic party
vote that Mr.. Bruce's task for the
primary is perceptibly increased.
In 1922 Democratic candidates
were barred from the party ticket
because the two candidates for gov
ernor, Bently and Mathie, polled but
1887 votes. As the law stood then,
they were required to poll 10 per
cent of the party strength, or "a
700, and when they failed the Demo
cratic nominees became independ-
ents.
The vote polIed in the primary
of 1922 is very nearly the number
required in the approaching prim-
airy. The Democratic state central
committee will probably issue an ap-
peal to party members to vote their
own party ticket.

NUMBER THIRTY-NINE
Launch Campaign to
Keep Waters Clean
Railroad Commission Will Hold Hear
ing at Park Falls Relative to Al
legged Stream Pollution.

Wisconsin is formally launching
campaign to clean waters from po-
luton with the announcement the
early part of the week by Adolph
kanneberg, member of the state rail
road commission, that a hearing
would be held at Park Falls on Sept.
IL relative to alleged stream polu-
tion at that point.
The meeting at Park Falls will be
the first of its kind in a determined
effort to decide what measures must
be adopted to preserve the streams
with their fish inhabitants. Regard
less of the outcome of the Park Falls
meeting it is certain than an effort
will be made at the next session of
the legislature to give the railroad
commission more complete regula-
tory powers over waters Of the state
Statutes now empower the railroad
commission the control of streams
only as navigation and stream flow
is concerned.
Heads of three state departments
concerned in the problem of stream
pollution will be represented at the
Park Falls meeting Besides the rail
road commission member, Mr..
kanneberg, Elmer Hall, conservation
commissioner, and DR.. C. A. Harper,
state health officer will attend
An attempt will be made at the
Park Falls meeting to devise imme-
date means of regulation to prevent
fish destruction under the limited
powers granted the railroad commits
sion.
Mr.. Kanneberg has been compiling
information on the water problem in
the state which he will present. at the
session. 1t is said that many fish
who died by tons during the summer
might have been saved by the simple
process of bringing a more uniform
flow through dam regulation.
The problem of stream pollution
will be attacked from all angles at
the Park Falls meeting. The need
of action is pointed out with cities
dumping sewage in ever Increasing
amounts and pollution by wood pulp
and acids from paper mills ever on
the increase.
Mr.. Kanneherg declared today
that plan had been advanced TO him
whereby fine pulp that is discharged
into streams might be kept from en-
tering streams and utilized at a say
ing. The acid problem is more com
plieated but it is hoped that this
source of pollution may be stopped
The meeting at Park Falls will
mark pioneering into a new field by
the railroad commission There is a
court Interpretation to the effect that
navigation applies to other subjects
such as fishing and pollution and if
such q view is upheld the railroad
commission might exercise decided
influence to keep the streams in
condition where they are inhabitable
by fish. Among other data being
compiled by Mr. Kanneberg are fig
ures AS to the loss to Wisconsin from
pollution Of its waters

feel proud at the wonderful showing
that Iron county exhibitors displayed.
II proves that they can win their
share Of the laurels even in the most
keenest of competition. 1t is hoped
that this moving win add new en-
thusiasm to the exhibitors of this
year 50 that they will come forth
with even bigger and better bundles
10 unfold at next years fair, and al
50 that those that did not show this
