‘RED’ CRY PUTS CNAPPLE OVER IN WISCONSIN Attacks on La Follette and on State University Help Bring Victory. This Is the second of two stories deal* ins with John B. Chappie, Wisconsin's latest political phenomenon, his policies and hla peculiarly effective type of campaign. The young north woods editor became a national figure almost overnight through his crusade against the La Follette regime. Bil United Press ASHLAND, Wis., Sept. 24.—When John B. Chappie won the Republican senatorial nomination in the state primaries over the La Fol-lette-suppcrted Senator John J. Blaine, his campaign battleground spread to nation-wide dimensions. While his immediate political future will be determined in the forthcoming election, none in Wisconsin doubts that this stalwart young fire-eater will make himself heard in national politics hereafter. Many factors, indubitably, con tributed to the collapse of the La Follette dynasty. But Chappie on a speaker’s stand, fists clenched, head thrown back, roaring denunciation of Governor Philip F. La Follette and “his political racket” became the symbol of the opposition. Single-handed, financing his crusade by selling pamphlets, sleeping between speeches in the open like the woodsman he is, this 32-yea~-old managing editor of the Ashland Press probably was the force that won the struggle. He Charges Communism How could a political stripling, no matter how dynamic and resourceful, persuade the voters of Wisconsin, where politics comes second nature, to oust the regime they so enthusiastically installed four years ago? Here was his line of attack, directed against the Governor, his coterie of progressives, the so-called liberals in the administration and faculty of the University of Wisconsin, and all those in the commonwealth who sided with that regime. He accused the La Follette faction of practicing Communism, shouting: “This Communistic cancer that is gnawing out the vitals of our American order must be cut away at the roots. Lashes at University “To destroy the American economic system would destroy initiative and energy and reduce our standard of living permanently. That is the direction in which the La Follette political racket leads.” He appealed to the wives and mothers of Wisconsin in his attack on the university. He said: “The attack upon American moral • standards carried on at the university is led by other intimates of the La Follette group. “Why has there been so much emphasis on birth control before groups of Wisconsin sons and daughters who are still in their teens?" “Is the American ideal of the family and the sacredness of the relationship between a man, his wife and their children out-worn and old-fashioned?” He appealed to the workers, pointing out that his first full-time job at the age of 11 was standing before a machine 10 hours a day, completing calendars for $4 a week. He made his way through college playing in an orchestra, waiting on tables and working in a hospital. He has worked on lake boats and in the woods. He told the workers: Backs Bonus Payment “I pledge myself to work untiringly to restore the jobs and earning power to the people, and to fight with all my strength against those, who knowingly or unknowingly are advocating Communistic legislation.” He told the farmers that he believed in a protective American market for them; he told war veterans that he favors immediate cash payment of the bonus; he said he favored Immediate settlement of the prohibition question “in accordance with the desires of the majority of the citizens of the respective states.”

Style Counts By Unit'd Press CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—What the well-dressed prohibition agent in Chicago will wear is provided for in his daily orders from Administrator Malachi L. Harney.

But if a gold coast or Hyde Park speakeasy is in prospect, the order may provide for formal afternoon or evening garb.

President Hoover Ahead in Digest’s Straw Vote

Roosevelt, However, Gains in Shift of G. 0. P. Supporters. Scattered returns in the national straw vote conducted by the Literary Digest, and announced in the issue of Saturday, Sept. 24, show that President Herbert Hoover has a slight lead over his Democratic opponent. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. Os the 60,327 ballots returned. 28,193 are for Hoover and 27,654 are for Roosevelt. Remainder of the ballots have been cast for five candidates of minor parties, with Norman Thomas. Socialist candidate, receiving the largest share. The slight national lead of'Hoover is reflected in Indiana in the first returns, with Hoover receiving I, votes to Roosevelts 907. Analysis of the Indiana vote shows, however, that Roosevelt gained in the swing from former allegiances. Comparison of the votes cast in the 1928 poll shows that 290 Republican votes then have been given to Roosevelt this year, while only ninety-five Democratic votes in 1928 have shifted to Hoover. The largest block of votes shifted in the present poll is the 5.212 Republican ballots ir. Pennsylvania which this year go to Roosevelt. Only 412 Democratic 1928 votes turned to Hoover this year. Asa result, Roosevelt is leading Hoover in Pennsylvania, 11,221 to 9,142. In New York, the trend to Roosevelt Is shown by the gain of 4,299 Republican votes in 1928. However, first returns from New York show Hoover leading, 14,933 to 11. In the five states reported this week, 10,927 former Republican votes are gained by Roosevelt, with 1.738 Democratic votes going to Hoover this year. Hoover leads in total vote in New

U. S. Liberia Dictator Proposal Is Under Fire

League of Nations Group Fights Back at Plan of American. By United Press GENEVA, Sept. 24.—An American proposal for a “virtual dictatorship” over the Negro republic of Liberia brought a storm of indignant protests from delegates attending the League of Nations Liberian committee meeting. Samuel Reber Jr., United States representative, said the United States would want to name the “chief advisor,” who should be placed over Liberian affairs. The present plan of assistance, ready for submission to the league council and assembly for final approval, provides for a rigid plan of supervision under a chief advisor, whose powers would be limited. Reber said that the advisor should have practically dictatorial powers in devising his own program of assistance in case of differences with the Liberian government.

U. S. IS ‘READY’ FOR FASCISM, SAYS THOMAS Only Demagogue Is Lacking, Leader of SocialistParty Asserts. By United Press GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Sept. 24. —The United States is ready for Fascism, and only a demagogue is lacking, Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, told an audience here Thursday night. The first violent revolution in this country, Thomas added, will result in Fascism and not Communism. He said Fascism may come either with or without violence, and said the factors which have paved the way for governmental changes were the degeneration of the two major political parties, disgust with ordinary political actions, and the emphasis of prejudice and passion. Thomas poked ridicule at Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, who spoke in Michigan this week. The only thing Hyde said, according to Thomas, was that the administratipn had loaned the farmers more money that it had the railroads. “This is an excellent illustration.” said Thomas, “of the feebleness of the Republican party’s efforts to cope with the nation’s distress.”

FEARFUL PARTY BOSSES WATCH SILENTLEADERS Admit Much Depends on Words of Borah, Smith, Couzens, Others. BY THOMAS L. STOKES I'nitcd Pres. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Back, stage, but important, political figures are giving party campaign managers anxious moments these days because of whht they may or may not do between now and the presidential election. A large number of electoral votes may hinge upon either the action or inaction, words or silence, of such men as Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania. Alfred E. Smith of New York and Senators William E. Borah of Idaho, Hiram Johnson of California and James Couzens of Michigan. All are dominating, dynamic and dramatic figures whose sphere of influence is either large or consequential ip, certain areas. The active personality in this category now is the lanky and pug* nacious Pinchot, who is sharpshooting at President Hoover because the Reconstruction Finance Corporation won’t advance his state a relief loan. The others are silent and inactive, and there are political strategists of one party or the other who fervently hope they will continue to remain silent or come out and say something definite.
