several times postponed. to enact liquor
control legislation. a Statewide cam
paign was launched this week bv the
Wisconsin Association of, Retail Bever-

important provision asked Is the right

And CiriI Works Also
Get States attention.

CASPER, Wyo., December 2.-poli-

works continue to occupy the spotlight
in Wyoming, with threads of discussion
relating to the first two subjects closely
interviewer in so far as State admins
trative affairs are concerned.
The eve Of the special legislative ses-
sion, scheduled to convene in Cheyenne
Monday. finds the air charged with
considerable speculation regarding the
outcome Of controversial questions deal
ing with tax and Governmental reforms,
liquor control and lesser issues. With
the State Senate Republican and the
House Democratic, no speedy solution is
anticipated. Democrats lost their
chance to cut down the Republican Sen

Republican, won special election
called In Niobrara County TO fill O va
cancy caused by the death Of q Demo-
cratic incumbent, who was elected by a
large majority in the last general elec-
tion.
The legislative battle will rage In
large part around proposals for more
centralized control Of schools, roads and
finances. with the school plan already
doomed to almost certain defeat.
Political significance also Is scented
by opponents in the mandamus action

nine wyoming attorneys in an effort to
