BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. | MILWAUKEE, Wis., September | 6.—Beer—the beverage which made Milwaukee famous—is playing a ma- jor part in these closing hours of Wisconsin's strenuous campaign for the senatorfal and gubernatorial nomi- nations. Not all the people of Wis- consin are ‘wets. The State has its dry element. But the wet vote is very considerable, and all sides are hoping for and angling for this vote. In the senatorial race Gov. Blaine is an out-and-out wet, willing to re- peal the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. Senator Lenroot, whom he {s trying to unhorse, voted for the Eighteenth amendment and for the Volstead enforcement act and to override the veto of President Wil- {son of the Volstead act. Rut Senator Lenroot, legislators, has not been of the developing wet sentiment in Wisconsin_and out of it in recent months. He has modified his stand to the extent of saving that he will abide by the decision of the people of the State in a referendum on the pro- posal that 2.75 per cent beer shall he made legal. Blaine People See Catch. There is a catch in this. the Blaine people say. for the referendum may inever be held. If it is not there is nothing to prevent Senator Lenroot from using his own judgment in re- gard to the liquor, or rather the beer, question if it ever comes again be- fore the Senate for action. The Anti-Saloon League has sought an injunction to halt the proposed referendum. It takes the ground that it requires the passage of a bill by the State Legislature and its signa- ture by the governor in order to have A question placed on the election ballot next November. It appears that both houses of the Legislature adopted a resolution for a referendum on 2.75 per cent at the last session of the Legislature. and it is on this resolution that it is now proposed to hold the referendum. Furthermore, it is urged that the Legislature made no appropriation for holding such a referendum. The matter is now before the Su- preme Court of the State for argu- ment and i{s to be heard when the court resumes for its Fall term, Sep. tember 13 or 20. Attorney General Ekern, who is a candidate for the | gubernatorial nomination with La | Follette backing, will appear in op- like other unmindful ! position to the petition of tha Anti | Saloon League and the attorneys of {the league also will be heard. Estimates Small Expense. “I helfeve that under our form of Government, resting ag it does on the will of the people. the voters should portunity for an expression of that will," Mr. Ekern said in support of | his attitude toward the injunction. | He added that so far as the appro- | priation was concerned, it would not take more than $15 to pay for the referendum—that all that would be required would be to print the ques- tion on the ballots, which must be | prepared anyway. The question upon which the people | of Wisconsin are asked to vote in this proposed referendum follows: | “Shall the Congress of the United | States amend the Volstead act so as |to authorize the manufacture and _izale of heer, for beverage purposes, of an alcoholic percentage of per | cent by weight, under Government supervision, but with the provision | that no beverage so purchased shall [ tatned?" | Referendum Advisory. The referendum. as it fs clearly understood. is merely advisory to | Congress. Tt has no binding effect | and cannot affect the law. unless Con gress adopts the suggestion. But if it is voted upon and the advocates of heer are successful, as they are ex pected to be the State over. then Wis | consin will be ranged as “wet” with New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and other States. where the demand for some kind of modification of the dry laws is very strong. Naturally the drys are anxious to prevent this, and they are attempting, through a legal point. to prevent the taking of the referendum. Secretary of State Fred R.

P. Senators’ Political Fates Hang in Balance in Tomorrow’s Elections. Br the Associated Press. The political fate of four Republi can United States Senators hangs in the balance in primary elections to be held in widely separated regions of the country tomorrow, the first Tues- day in September. The four are Irvin L. Lenroot, Wis- consin: George H. Moses, New Hamp- shire: Tasker L. Oddie, Nevada, and William H. Butler, Massachuestts. A fifth Senator, Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona. is unopposed. Perhaps the greatest interest cen- ters in the Wisconsin contest. where Senator Lenroot, leader of the ad- ministration’s successful fight for American adhesion to the World Court, is opposed by Gov. John J. Blaine and the forces under the La Follette banner. In the forefront of the bat- tle against Senator Lenroot has heen his colleague, Senator Robert M. La Follette, jr., who has criticized Sena- tor Lenroot's stand upon the World Court and other questions. A nu ber of State interests also figure in the campaign. Race in New Hampshire, The New Hampshire contest of Senator Moses for renomination has heen featured by the charge of his | principal opponent. former Gov. Rob- ert P. Bass, that his campaign head- | quarters were broken into and several |documents stolen. Mr. Bass has |charged that Senator Moses has been | out of sympathy with the Coolidge ad- ministration. In Massachusetts, home State of President Coolidge, his personal friend Senator William M. Butler, is opposed for renomination by Washington Cook of Sharon, member of the governor's | council. The latter's campaign is | based upon advocacy of modification of the Volstead act, public ownership of railroads, oil flelds and waterpower and direct election of Presidents. Senator Oddie in Nevada is opposed |by former Representative Edward Roberts, father-in-law of Walter John- |son, the Washington mound ace. Some {interest also has been shown in the |race for the Democratic senatoial |nomination for which Raymond T. | Baker, director of the mint in the Wil I'son administration, is a contender. i Cameron Is Unopposed. | Senator Cameron is unopposed in | Arizona for the- Republican nomina | tion, but in the general election will | be opposed by either Representative | Carl Hayden or Charles H.
