Wisconsin legislature passes a law banning party names and symbols in municipal elections. The measure, aimed at limiting Socialist influence in Milwaukee and La Crosse, follows a spring agreement between Democrats and Republicans on a single nonpartisan ticket. Proponents argue nonpartisanship links governance to local issues, while opponents say party divisions should guide all levels of government.
The piece argues over party control versus non partisan government as a deterrent to corrupt acts. Advocates say party backing prevents machine rule, while opponents claim non partisanship works only in small towns and that party aid yields better governance. The debate parallels the larger national question of party government and the rising independent vote in elections.

In Blackhawk county two Republicans seek the Third district Congress nomination. Incumbent Pickett runs for a fourth term while A D Sumner campaigns as progressive, charging Pickett with pro–trust votes on the Farmers Free List and Wool revision bills.

The Waterloo Courier questions Sumner’s claimed progressiveness amid Cummins Perkins gub.
The discussion centers on whether Sumner’s opposition to Cummins and support for Lacey signal genuine progressivism. Critics say his past standpat record undermines claims of Progressivism, urging a demonstrable Congress record before nominating him over Pickett.
