Wisconsin and North Dakota

Wisconsin and NOrtn DakOtd
Political elements In Wisconsin
have been fusing for the last few
years much along the same lines as
in North Dakota. At the recent pres
idential primaries in Wisconsin as
we'll as in North Dakota, political
alignments began to unscramole'
Voters allied with both conservative
and radical factions left the Repub-
lican primaries and walked into the
Democratic one.
Results recorded in North Dakota
resemble those evident in the Badger
state. In this state the Nonpartisans
lost a national committeeman and
secured only two places on the Re-
publican delegation to the national
convention. In Wisconsin the fac
ton which Is called the Old Guard,
or anti-LaFollette, won out in the
Republican primaries.
LaFollette men did not win because
the same thing happened in Wiscon-
sin that took place in North Dakota.
Roosevelts candidacy lured many
progressives from Republicanism.
They called for Democratic ballots
in great numbers as was the case in
North Dakota. The result is now
history. LaFollette's machine went
down to defeat.
That this situation was feared far
In advance Of the Wisconsin primar-
les by the LaFollette organization is
shown in the campaign publicity put
out by the Wisconsin progressives.
They warned the embattled farmers
that "a vote for the Roosevelt slate
is a stab in the back for Governor
LaFollette" Regardless of the warn
ing, the Wisconsin farmers and city
supporters Of LaFollette in great
numbers left the Republican primar-
les.
The New York Times makes the
following interesting comment upon
this incident:
The incident has its serious as
poets, but for the moment the
comic ones predominant. No one
was ever more grand and threat
ening in his political gestures
than Senator LaFollette. both
father and son. when asserting
that through him the majestic
voice Of the people could always
be heard. But In Wisconsin just
now it seems to be speaking
through some other medium, be-
cause the nice little bipartisan
contrivances of the LaFollettes
failed to work this time. OF
course. this defeat will be attrib-
uted with their usual rhetorical
vehemence to conspiracy of the
wicked rich. and presumably of
the Power Trust Yet how could
the chief beneficiary of that plot
have been the very man. namely
Governor Roosevelt, whom the
western progressives, including
the LaFollettes, have been hail.

CAPPER GUN BILL
Urges Passage of Measure to Con.
troll Sale of Firearms
in District.

Mrs. Edgar B. Merritt, president of
the District Of Columbia Federation of
Womens Clubs, yesterday afternoon
urged the passage Of the Capper bill to
control the sale of firearms In the Dis

the National Anti-Weapon Association,
over Radio Station WRC.
Pointing out that $4,000 persons were
murdered in this country last year,
10000 with pistols. Mrs. Merritt said:
The revolver is the outstanding wea-
pom used by murderers, and, sadly
enough. 1t is the favorite weapon Sc
leeted by suicides. It is the weapon
with which children all too frequently
are seriously injured, frequently killed
About the need of the Capper firearms
control bill, which has passed the
House, there is no question. It should
not be allowed to fail of passage"
