W. Chap- in, Grand Forks golf club profession- al, led W. R. Crummy of Bemidji, ten up in the finals of the special consin voters went to the polls today to register their opinion of Lafollet- teism. The fight in all its phases raged around the senior senator from Wisconsin. It has long been an op- en secret that the Harding adminis- tration has desired the elimination of Lafollette, who has refused to bow to the decisions of party leaders and who has been a thorn in the side of Washington conservatives The Republican party in Wiscon- sin has had a long and progressive career, in year when Indiana and Iowa were firmly perched in the conserva- tend the Metropolitan at his expense. The offer was accpted in a body it is understood. Saturday night the boys played in the lobby of the Ryan hotel, St. Paul, upon request of the manage- ment. Monday witnessed the open- ing of the band’s engagement at the Minnesota State Fair. From 10 to 12 Monday forcnoon the played at the Plaza on the fair grounds and in the evening at 7:15 the gave a con- cert in the Agricultural building.

Lafollette’s forces and the “Committee of 44,” anti-Lafollett co- horts to determine who will be ‘the Republican candidate in opposition to Mrs. Jessie Jack Hooper Oshkosh, Democratic candidate for United States senator from Wisconsin at the polls in the November election. This year the Republican progress- ives are agressively arrayed against the t;'unservativcs represcnted by William A. Ganfield, former " presi- dent of Center College, Danville, Ky., their candidate for the senatorial nomination. A rather strange confusion in term-. inology exists. The conservatives in thisselection choose to call them pro- gressives, while the old latter, fol- lowers of Lafollette, have peculiar- Iy_enough beeén denounced as radi- cals by the Ganfield adhcrents ‘John J. Blaine, present governor of Wisconsin and William A. Morgan are the Republican gubernatorial as- pirants. Their interests are practic- ally identified with those of Lafollette and. Ganfield respectively. They | have attacked each other in campaign speeches. Lafollette is making the fight on his_senatorial record and his, stand on the war question, on which he was a foe of America’s entrance into the yar . On the other hand the supporters of Ganficld are urging Lafollette’s war stand as proof of his lack of | patriotism In the Democratic party there is a lively fight going on between fol- owers of A. A. Bentlley of the “Wets” and mayor of LaCrosse and Carl Mathic, candidate of the “Drys” for governor. This will give the Democratic voters an opportunity to express their sentiments in the mat- ter of the prohibition question.
