HALLOWS, C. J.

We have said many times that to raise a question on appeal as a matter of right, it must be properly preserved. Improper remarks in closing arguments cannot be a basis for a motion for a new trial or a basis for an appeal to this court if no timely objection to the argument was made. Basile v. Fath (1925), 185 Wis. 646, 649, 650, 201 N. W. 247, 202 N. W. 367; Zimmerman v. Dornbrook (1959), 6 Wis.2d 567
