SPACE LIMITED TO NEW CONTENTION HELD BYSCHOLAR Authority #on Relativity Figures Out Dimensions of Universe, By United Press TORONTO, Aug. 13. —Illimitable space is nly poet’s license. The boundless realms of the ether have been bounded. No longer can yoif take oft Into space and tty, and fly., and fly. After flying for so far, you would crash headlong into the floor, walls, or ceiling of the universe. Further astronomical confirmation for his theory that the cosmos in which Mother Earth finds herself is distinctly limited in extent, was presented for the consideration of mathematical physicists at the British Association today by Dr. Ludvik Silberstein, consulting mathematician to a Rochester firm, and an authority on the subject of relativity. Dr. Silberstein did not present his argument as a hypothesis. He proved It. His methods are not those of the Grecian philosophers, nor does he quote the writings of Moses. He puts in the necessary formulae and symbols, adds a few figures previously provided by the telescope and spectroscope, shakes them well, ond out pops the result. Think how far it is from the earth to the sun. Then think of 134. Next Imagine ten times ten times ten, done eleven times. Then multiply them all together and try and comprehend the product. This, no less, is the breadth of the universe from east to west, also Its length from north to south, and ditto its dimensions up and down. So sure is Dr. Silberstein of his celestial survey, that he gives as the radius of the sphere of the unnverse, based on the latest measurements of constants for certain stellar clusters, the figure 6.7 times 10,000,000 astronomical units, the as-' tronomical unit being the distance from the earth to the sun. selected by astronomers as a convenient yardstick. ,

MY OWN STORY ——- LA FOLLETTE BRINGS OUT INDEPENDENT FOR GOVERNOR By ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE

"MY OWN STORY” is an exclusive newspaper version of one of the great autobiographies of modem times. l.a Follette's own story of adventures In politics as written by himself in 1912. together with an authorized narrative of his experiences in the years since then. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS La Follette is defeated for a fourth term in Congress In 1890 when Wisconsin goes heavily Democratic. One of the first acts of the Democratic administration is to sue all State treasurers of the past 20 years. Senator Sawyer, a Republican boss, attempts to bribe La Follette to talk to Judge Siebeeker off the bench in the interests of the treasurers. When he nrtfftes public Sawyer s attempt to corrupt the court La Follette is denounced on every hand by the Republican press and bosses of., the State. He attends the 1892 Republican national convention as a spectator and is shunned on every sale. He determines to shatter the power of the political machine. But it was essential to the success of any such undertaking that some strong man who would appeal to the younger and more independent members of the Republican party should be found to stand as the antimachine candidate for Governor. Such a man, I felt, was Congressman Nils P. Haugen. Many of the counties of the western half of the State were well settled by sturdy Scandinavian pioneers —an independent, liberty-loving people. I knew they felt a certain pride in Congressman Haugen’s prominence and success, and I counted on their giving ,him very strong support. I still had many friends in my old congressional district, and among university men all over the State, who could, I know, be enlisted in any fight upon the machine. Candidate Picked The chances were all against winning. There was every reason to believe he could continue in Congress tor many years. I knew he enjoyed his work in the House, and he had rendered good service. Ought he to be asked to take the chance? But there was the good State of Wisconsin ruled by a handful of men who had destroyed every vestige of democracy in the commonwealth. They settled in private conference practically all nominations for important offices, controlled conventions, dictated legislation, and had jjven sought to lay corrupt hands on The courts of justice. Had I believed I could lead as strong an attack upon this enI trenched organization, I should not j have asked Haugen or any other 1 man to make that first fight. But I believed that however forlorn the hope of immediate achievement, the great final <ssue demanded that the | best and strongest man should meet this call as a patriotic duty. Haugen raised the objections which I had anticipated. | “You know.” he said, "the forces !we will have to meet. They have I money; we have none. They have organization extending into every ! county in the State. Our support I will be scattered and isolated. They ! will have the railroads, the great | business interests, and the newspaj pers back of them. How can we ; hope to win?” | Haugen agreed, however, to my j writing letters to old university friends, calling upon them to join in supporting him as a candidate for Governor. Our final conference was at my home in Madison. There were present Mrs. La Follette, whose counsel was always valued; General Bryant, Sam Harper and Herbert W. Chynoweth, a leading attorney. After consenting to stand as a candidate, Haugen said: “It is my judgment that we shall lose this fight, and I shall be retired from public life. But there is a chance to win, and in any event, we will make a beginning.” No sooner was Haugen's candidacy

announced than the fight was on. We opened headquarters in my law office, and for many weeks the lights never went out. Candidates for Governor were brought forward in other sections of the State —W. H. Upham in central Wisconsin, Edward Scofield in the Northeast, and “Hod” Taylor from Dane County. These candidates were in perfect accord, and all had the favor of the bosses of Wisconsin. Sooner or later the strength which each could command in the convention Wf-ujd be merged to secure victory for the machine. Sawyer Determined Sawyer declared I should never have a seat in a Republican convention in Wisconsin, nor hold political office, as long as he lived. He was friendly to every other candidate, and announced that he had nothing against Haugen, but would oppose him as "La Follette’s candidate.” The fight centered on Dane County, which was the heart of my old district. Sawyer’s money was everywhere. The opposition controlled the county organization, and Roger C. Spooner, brother of Senator Spooner, was chairman of the county committee. In order to make it as difficult as possible, the machine brought forward thi-ee candidates on the State ticket from Dane County alone, only two of whom (under the usages of conventions In distributing the offices geographically) could hope to be nominated. It was "anything to beat Haugen and kill off La Foliette.” It was the hottest county fight I ever saw. Democpatic machine newspapers and politicians joined with Republican machnie newspapers and politicians to suppress this first organized revolt. The whole State watched the contest in Dane County. If the machine were successful there, if I were defeated in my own county as a delegate to the State convention, it meant the breaking down of Haugen’s campaign. I sat at my desk almost day and night personally dictating letters to the Republican farmers. The first caucuses, held in the city of Madison and in two other sma.l cities in the county, registered a complete victory' for the machine. We were defeated in every ward. AMUSEMENTS

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

It was a gloomy night in our headquarters. Many were disheartened and felt that it was a forerunner of overwhelming defeat. But it only strengthened our resolution to win, and after a brief talk every man went out from the headquarters with zeal to carry the country towns of the county, which might still give us a majority. The struggle from that time on grew fiercer to the end, which came quickly. We fairly swept the country towns, carried the county convention by AMUSEMENTS

four to one, and adopted strong resolutions declaring for Haugen for Governor. The remaining four counties of the district were likewise carried in succession. The contest in the State convenlasted Jwo days. The machine united on W. H. Upham, who was finally nominated. Our forces had passed through such a struggle for election that they were fused together as one man. It was a rigid line-up against the bosses, and while we lost the nomination for Governor, their forces so scattered on the remaining nominations that we held the balance of power, and named practically every other man on the ticket. The old machine was tried to the breaking point, and we came out of that campaign tremendously en-

As I considered the future, it was clear it would be necessary to devote six weeks to two months out of each biennial period, and possibly each year, in speaking and pamphleteering the State. I set aside a brief period in the autumn of each year for speeches. Republicans Win The .campaign of 18Eh4- resulted in a sweeping victory for the Republicans. Upham was elected Governor and the old Sawyer-Payne-Spooner machine came back to power with restored confidence. the first thing it did was to tamper with the work of the former Democratic Administration in connection with the treasury cases.

There had already been returned to the State, as a result of the prosecutions of former State treasurers, $427,902, and there had been put into judgment the further sum of slßl,015. Other cases were still pending. The bosses at once began developing a plan to relieve the ex-treasur-ers from the “hardship” of paying their full indebtedAess to the State, and, as a feeler, put through legislation releasing one of the treasurers from the payment of a portion of the judgment against him, and providing for the discontinuance of all the cases against two of the other treasurers. Members of the Legislature were fearful of public sentiment and reluctant to pass the measure, but a powerful lobby was organized under the immediate charge of Charles F.

Pfister of Milwaukee, who had recently appeared as a power in Wisconsin politics. Pfister had inherited several millions from his father, Guido Pfister, a bondsman for one of the State treasurers, against whom a judgment of $106,683 had been obtained. The audacity of this attempt is more apparent when it is understood that throughout the campaign the Democrats had warned voters that if a Republican Governor and Legislature were elected the ex-treasurer3 would be “let off.” And they were let off; obligations aggregating more than a quarter of a million dollars were cancelled, and the bills were signed by Governor Upham.
