Dewey and senator Vandenberg of Michigan confront Wisconsin citizens in next tuesdays balloting on delegates to the major party nominating conventions. For those voting in the demo cratic primary the third term Issue is Clear Cut and May be met in two ways by recording a preference for president Roosevelt or vice presi Dent Garner and by voting for Dele Gate candidates pledged to one or the other. The presidential preference vote is advisory in no Way binding on the states 24 delegates.
