POLITICAL WAR IS THREATENING LA FOLLETTES ‘Dynasty’ Under Fire: Editor Shouts Racket Charge. BY WILLARD R. SMITH United Frrt* Staff Crreandent MADISON, Win, May 31.—WUron*in, cockpit of American politics, is the battleground today of partisan strife a fierce as any of the state's stormy history. The La Follette "dynasty” defends its throne against new foes. Socialists, their national nominating convention just over in Milwaukee, drive deepr salients into opposing lines. .John B Chappie, 32-year-old Ashland newspaper editor, campaigning for the United State* senate, storms up and down the state and back and forth from Washington crying "racket" at the La Follcttes and "Communists, atheists” at the University of Wisconsin and its dynamic young president, Glenn Frank. Regulars in Revolt "Regular” Republicans, controlling a majority of the state's delegation to the national convention for the first time in a quarter century, threaten the La Follette rule. Democrats, strengthened by deserters from the La Follette Progressives, menace all other parties. Communists scorn the old line parties, and the Progressives and Socialists, claiming many new adherents. In the foreground are the La Pollettes, sons of "Old Bob." keeping up the dynasty of more than thirty years. The sons hold offices their famous father once filled. Philip Fox La Follette. 35, is Governor. Robert Marion La Follette Jr., 37, is United States senator. Chappie Fight Governor La Follette’s ultra-lib-eral policy estranged Republican stalwarts, and brought the charge from Chappie that he was attempting to lead the party Into socialistic and Communistic channels. Chappie entered the senate race against the incumbent. Senator John J. Blaine, La Follette follower. Walter J. Kohler, millionaire manufacturer, has announced he will not enter the lists against La Follette, who dwplaced him in the la't election after Kohler had been drafted as a "business man” Governor. The only opponent actually in the field against the Governor is a man twice his age, Charles B Perry. 76, Speaker of the assembly.

BLACKMER SURE TO FACE TRIAI IF HE RETURNS Congress Members Will Oppose Compromise on U. S. Charges. \ ffy &rripp*-Nntrard \?ir tpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 31.—When and if Henry M. Blackmer. selfexiled Colorado oil man, forsakes his residence In a Paris hotel to re- ! turn to his home in Denver, he will be confronted with implacable opposition in congress against any compromise of the six criminal indictments for alleged Income tax fraud facing him in Denver. Blackmer may beat the Denver indictments, but that senate leaders prominent in the Teapot Dome expose would castigate the legal authorities if they consented to dismiss the Colorado indictments is well known to the justice department. Tempting Offer Made It generally is understood that Blackmer made a tempting offer to i the government to be relieved of all 1 his embarrassments, civil and criminal. The effort failed, except in the case of his civil liabilities which were compromised at the staggering figure of $3,700,000. But on his fine of $60,000 for contempt. because of failure to appear as a witness in the Fall and Sinclair trials. Blackmer had to pay the full penalty. Attention is being given to the | present status of Blackmer's affairs in the senate, where Albert B. Fall and his associates in the Teapot Dome scandals met their nemesis in the committee on public lands. Gerald P. Nyne, youthful progressive Republican from North Dakota, still heads that body. Thomas J. Walsh <Drm.. Mont.), veteran inquisitor, still is a member of the , committee. Senators Are Adamant "He must remain an expatriate," said Walsh, quietly but firmly, today. I "If Blackmer wishes to return to America, now that he has discharged all his other obligations, he must stand trial. Otherwise, let him remain abroad forever." The same attitude is expressed by Nye. Quite as adamant in his attitude is Chairman George W. Norris of the judiciary committee. "Let him stay abroad, as Benedict Arnold had to stay,” said Norris. "He has been a traitor, like Arnold, to his own government." ‘LEATHER LIFTERS’ BUSY Union Station Train Dispatcher Is Pickpocket Victim.
