September 29 Progressiveism in Wisconsin took a blow today wher its control of the execn- tive committee of the Republican State central committee was split in two, but he opposition element also suffered a setback when indorsement of Hoover, Kohler and the “regular” Republican platforms was blocked. Only after a stormy session did the conservatives win two of the seats on the executive committee, which man- ages the State campaign. These wer~ the places of vice chairman and treas- urer, W. J. Campbell, Oshkosh. being elected to the former place, and Sta‘s Senator W. M. Markham, Horiean, tak- ing the latter both by votes of 23 o 21. Mrs. Rose Meyer, Progressive, Sauk City. was re-elected secretary: Herman L. Ekern. Progressive. the chairman, is the only other officer. This change from a constant roll eall of 22 to 22 was affected when Conrad Hertelein. Sunerior. switched from the Progressive side to the con- servative after denouncing both fac- tions for their “childishness” in th> bickering that marked the whole ses- sion. The major issue was that of Chair- man Ekern's voting the proxies of sev- eral absent committeemen. The con- servatives tlaimed that prories had not | been allowed to vote in previous sessions and should not be counted now. and losing that fight started one to ascer- tain the correctness of the proxies. They found those of three committeemen were not signed by witnesses, so the battle was renewed to have these ruled | out. For more than two hours this con- tinued. but in the end Mr. Ekern’s tac- tics won for the Progressives the escape from a vote of indorsement of the Re- publican candidate for President, the Republican candidate for governor, the State and National platform po'icies. Mr. Ekern stated that the final vote and | paign for Republican Candidate. | | | { | The Service League Unit of the Hoo- ver and Curtis Club was formed yester- Jday at a meeting of velerans of th~ several wars of the United States at Republican headquarters.

At that time Mr. Hoover said: “I believe all of America recognizes our national obligation to our veterans.
