Special Wisconsin Election Tuesday Primary Scheduled For Senate Vacancy MILWAUKEE (UP)-Wisconsin holds a special primary Tuesday for the election to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the death of Joseph R. McCarthy, and an upset was possible in the GOP race because of the candidates' apparent failure to arouse voter interest. Seven Republicans are in the running The expected turnout is no more than 500,000 voters. The winner probably won’t get more than 100,000 votes, probably less. At least four of the candidates—former Gov. Walter Kohler, former Rep. Glenn Davis, Rep. Alvin O’Konski and Lt. Gov. Warren Knowles—were capable of pulling that many votes. They’re all proven vote getters. Kohler, the three-time governor of the state, and Davis, who quit Congress last fall after 10 years to campaign unsuccessfully for Sen. Alexander Wiley’s job, were favored. But, the expected small turnout and the large number of candidates, made the outcome doubtful Only two Democrats, both from the “liberal*’ wing of the party, were competing for their party’s favor in the Aug. 27 general election to fill the vacancy left by McCarthy’s death last May. Kohler, Davis Compete Democrat William Proxmire, who three times has tried to be governor, was the better-known statewide, but Rep. Clement Zablocki from Milwaukee’s 4th District had Strength in that jpopulous area. Kohler, the only avowed "Eisenhower Republican,” and Davis, a conservative, have provided most of the excitement in the short campaign that preceded the primary. Two two men tangled over Kohler’s support of President Eisenhower. Davis said he didn’t favor being a "rubber stamp” for anyone. Kohler said he backed Ike’s political philosophy, but felt free to disagree with the President over certain programs. Kohler swiped at Davis' contention that he was the only “experienced” man qualified to re- . place Republican McCarthy. Kohl--11 er said 10 years in an "air con- . ditioned office” in Washington did not qualify Davis for the Senate, t that it was “accomplishments”— ‘ such as Kohler’s during his terms ’ as governor—that the voters conJ sidered. Small-Scale Campaigns i Knowles, a veteran state official, ’ stressed MB role as -a candidate | all factions of the party could accept because of the rifts between Kohler and Davis, which Knowles said had split the party. O’Konski, a strong vote getter in the 10th District of northern Wisconsin, campaigned vigorously and expensively on television and full page newspaper ads He asked for voter support on the grounds of his opposition to foreign aid “giveaways,” secret treaties, support of 90 per cent of parity for farmers and 15 years in Congress. State Sen. Gerald Lorge, a friend of McCarthy, and a native of the late senator’s hometown of Appfe- , ton, used communism as his campaign theme, occasionally attacking O’Konski, Davis and Kohler on their sources of campaign funds. Former Rep. John C. Shafer and former State Supreme Court Justice Henry Hughes conducted small scale campaigns.
