Coalition Difficult,

Coalition Difficult.
Because OF the antipathy against
Roosevelt In Wisconsin strongholds,
coalition between the Progressive
party and the Democratic party would
be difficult, II not impossible. At
least it would be hard to work. The
problem is one that gives all con-
cerned plenty to worry them
One OF the shrewdest political OBJ
servers in Wisconsin recently found
growing sentiment for some type Of
cooperative program between Re-
publicans and Democrats in the 1888
State campaign. This was described
as a concentrated drive against the
Progressiye-S Socialist combination.
In the past the Democrats and Re
pubicans have gone their own way
with the wind-and found it futile
Some members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee are said to be OPEN
minded on such plan. At any rate,
leaders OF both the old-line parties
believe sentiment grows stronger day
La Toilette, the Governor
Indications are that leaders Of the
two old parties are seriously consid-
ering a new political set-up. Already
meetings Of the Republican party
chieftains have been called for dis
cussion Of the coalition idea Mem
bers Of the Legislature have enter
tanned the thought.
Also, Republican leaders have con-
ferred with Democratic chiefs to learn
what they think about the two old
parties getting together.
All this activity, with the Statewide
rally Of the Coughlinites. the Town
sendites and Unionites today put the

West threw in one Of those annoying
pre-enptive three-spade overcalls, but
North WAS quite willing to 60 to four
hearts. Mr.. Kempner, not knowing
whether his partner had been forced
to stretch" his hand, invited a slam
by cue-bid in spades. North &C
ceped the invitation with 4 bid
OF five diamonds, and Mr.. Kempner
then bid the slam.
The king Of spades was opened and
when dummy went down, Mr.. Kemp
ner saw that the hand presented
one Of those unfortunate situations
where both declarer and dummy have
the same number of cards in each
Of their short suits, and that with
any normal break he would be down
one. However, he could see no
reason to accept sure loss and
realized that there was one remote
chance Of making his contract
namely, II he could find both trumps
and four more diamonds in one hand.
At the same time, if he made this
play. Mr.. Kempner would risk a two
trick set. But, after all, what Is an
extra trick penalty when you are
gambling for vulnerable small slam?
Accordingly, Mr.. Kempner promptly
led out the four rounds of diamonds,
discarding his losing spade on the
last lead, and then conceded the
ace Of hearts to fulf1ll his contract.
