TIT GENERAL POLITICAL MINTr IN WISCONSIN

Next to the heterogeneous con glomeration Of politics In New York City, the political outlook In Wis consin holds national public atten- ton
 The spectacle In Wisconsin has been unique in that the two-party system has not prevailed there for years; the Democratic party in that state has been regarded as non-ex- isting. Whatever political squabbling has gone on has been between two factions within the Republican party, one dominated by the late Senator LaFolette and the other by Senator Lenroot.
 Of course. there are many who would claim that Mfr. LaFollette had been Tread out" of the c. O.. P. and had headed the Progressive party, and that long before his death he was no longer considered a Republican. But politics in Wis consin is more peculiar than almost anywhere else, and the fact is that Robert M LaTollette, Jr., son of a famous sire. Is running for the nomination on tn 2 Republican ticket at the special election to fill the vacancy in the Senate caused ny the death of the elder LaFol- lctte.
 The conservative wing of Republi- cans in Wisconsin, also referred to as the Coolidge wing, got off to a good start by holding trump con- venuon," at which Roy r. Wilcox was nominated as the so-called Coolidge candidate. But the stand pat wing went little further and passed q platform plank demanding the repeal of the primary election law. The repeal of primaries seems 10 be a stock aim of the stand-pat wing in all states where the primary law offers q bar to setting up hand picked candidates.
 The anti-primary plank gave EX' Gov. Francis r.. MCGovern a chance 10 throw his chapeau into the ring, and he has come out strongly against the Republican designs. And as a climax young LaFollette, run ming on the Independent wing Of tho Ci. o. F., announced he would stand flat on his fathers policies which prob b y will greatly strengthen the position of the heir apparent of Wisconsin.
 In order to find out whether there are any Democrats in Wtscon- sin. William G. Bruce has appeared 3s a candidate for the Democratic nomination. He openly expressed a doubt whether a Democratic party existed in the state, but intends to find out. He will have no opposition at the primaries and Is sure of be- ing the Opposing" candidate to the EcpulIican choice for senator.
 II IS claimed. and not without reason, we think, that if the Re puhlican regulars are ovcrwhelm- nrly anxious to destroy the inf1u- eucc of the Lal'ollotte family in Wisconsin, that in the event Of the nomination of loung LaFolle'tc they throw their strength to Bruc" 1f a plurality of the Wisconsin voters chooses LaFollc'te as the partv's candidate. the Lenroct o1 CooldE, faction wtu have no choice but 10 vote for him. vote for Bruce or stay home on election day. Ii they stn prefer 10 vote under sucf 1 circumstances. and cannot persuade th.mseI,es 10 p"rrotIate or revamT thc two-party system in Wtsconsir Iy ,ofing for Bruce they are no' entitled 10 rronl when young Ia Fons'te reaches the Senate and be gins breaking ur Republican china
