date the largest AsRA3et Sof our vot-
ers."

sence of one vote might defeat the
interests of the people of Wisconsin
and of the whole country"

election should be at such time as
will make it possible for farmers to
attend the primary and election with
the greatest convenience and without
unnecessary sacrifice" was regarded
unofficially as indicating that the cleo
ton probably would be held in Sep

lighter than at present.

fore Governor Blaine left Madison on
a vacation trip into northern Wis
consin. 1t was said at his office that
he would be gone for "a few weeks,

Governors Statement.
The governors announcement fol-
lows:
"The question of whether or not l
will call special election has arisen
and l feel that the people ought to
know my decision in advance of the
call so that they may have time in
which to study issues and candidates.
Congress meets for the long session
the first part of December. That ses-
sion, in all probability, will continue
into May next year.
at is going to be an important ses-
sion. Agricultural questions federal
taxation, appropriations, railroad reg
ulations, the protection of our natural
resources, foreign debts, and other
vital questions affecting the people OF
Wisconsin, no doubt will be voted
upon.
Wisconsin Should have VOTE
"Some of the questions confronting
congress are such that the absence of
&ne vote might defeat the interests of
the people of Wisconsin and of the
whole country.
81 have no right to deny to the peo-
pie representation in the senate of the
United States for four or FIVE months.
"Under such circumstances my plain
duty is to give the people of this state
the right to elect senator to take his
seat in December, and the law so con-
templates.
II am mindful of the fact that the
farmers are engaged in the harvest
ing of crops, threshing of grain, filling
of silos, and other essential farm work
that must be done in season. The
date of the election should be at such
q time as will make it possible for
them to attend the primary and cleo
tion with the greatest convenience
and without unnecessary sacrifice.
therefore, l desire to announce
that a special election will be called
at q time as will best accommodate
the largest number of voters"
