WISCONSIN HAS
 SENATORIAL FIGHT
Three Candidates Up in the Republican Primaries

Milwaukee, Sept. UN - The several candidates entered In the special nominating primary Sep tember IS, in a contest for the seat in the United States senate made vacant by the death of Robert NJ. LaFollette, represent various forms and Issues of Wisconsin republican, ism.
 Robert M LaFollette Jr., head ing the LaFollette faction; Roy P. Wilcox, heading the Coolidge fac ton and Francis F. McGovern, heading the progressive faction op- posed 10 the candidacy of young LaFollette, have all filed on the re- publican ticket.
 Arthur R. Barry, republican, finding the LaTollette- Wheeler ticket made legal at the last elec- ton In Wisconsin, not in Use, filed under that banner, and is the only avowed wet candidate. The demo- crats have picked William George Bruce. and the state central com mittee of the socialist party has se- lected John w. Work. These three are unopposed.
 Some uncertainty has developed whether any of the defeated pri- mary candidates may file as an in- dependent in the election, to be held two weeks later.
 LaFollette takes up the tasks of his father where he dropped them according to his platform. He is S1 years of age and has been groomed for years as his fathers successor.
 Mir. Wilcox was the unanimous choice of a convention called to permit the people of the state to exercise their will In selecting a candidate" He subscribes 10 the principles of republicanism as set forth by President Coolidge. With his supporters he took the stand that the present state administra- ton, backing the candidacy of La Toilette, Sr., in his campaign for the presidency, stole the republican party in Wisconsin for political purposes and uses.
 McGovern, whose campaign Is being conducted along progressive lines, was twice elected governor of the state and holds 10 the prlnci- pies of progrcssivism. but is op- posed to the candidacy of young LaFollette. McGovern's plea is based largely on the fact that his age and experience are more in keeping with the office.
 Wilcox, McGovern and Barry are lawyers. Young LaFollette has spent the majority of his time since graduation from the University of Wisconsin under the eye of his father.
 Mir. Bruce Is the head of a large business in Milwaukee and has been prominent in civic movements for many years.
 Mir. Work is a newspaper edi- torial writer on Victor Berger's publication.
