It seems unlikely that a successor to Senator
McCarthy can be selected - befoN the a11J1111er adJounuunl

In

new Senator for an interim appointment - and Govemor Vernon
ThOlll)aon or Wlsconain la a Republican. But Wiaconaln state
law-
1a otherwise. The Oovemor does not fill - a senatorial
vacancy. Instead, he calls a special election -

The
leading
Republican candidate -
roraer
Governor
Kohler. Who,
Ji
politically - was at odds with Senator
,
McCarthy. Kohler - an Eisenhower republican. McCarthy,
obviously - anti-Eisenhower. In fact, Senator McCarthy had
been preparing to run for re-election - expecting that Kohler
would be his cllef opponent for the GOP nom1nat10n.
