LAFOLLETTE MAY
WRITE PLATFORM
Business of Convention Stopped When
Delegates Cheer Wisconsin SEN
atOr for 80 Minutes.
(By Associated Press

Chicago-The Liberals" reached
Armageddon this afternoon when the
report Of the fusion platform commit
tee was submitted to the joint convent
tion for the approval Of the delegates.
Inasmuch, as the statement had been
largely dictated by the Laborites, the
Forty Fighters with Chairman Walker
as their spokesman announced at the
conclusion of the reading of the report
that Senator Roert M. LaFollette of
Wisconsin would not run on such a
platform. While an attempt was be-
ing made to reconcile the differences
between the Labor faction and the
committee, Lester Barlow, leader Of
the World War Veterans secured the
floor and made a passionate appeal
for Senator LaFollette. He insisted
that if the senator refused to run he
should be drafted and that the con-
vention should thereafter accept any
platform that he should write. The
Veteran declared that the convention
was "boss-ridden" and was bling con-
trolled by little clique who were Sc
creting the platform that Senator La
Toilette had sent to the convention. At
this point in his speech flag draped
picture of the Badger solon was swung
out over the audience and became the
signal for a thirty minute demonstra-
ton. State after state joined the pa
rade and the clamor for "LaFollette's

and requested that he read it. But the

necessary, to consider the report Of the
fusion committee first,so that at late
hour this afternoon "LaFollette's"
masterpiece was still . mystery to the

Phillip FOLLOWERS
MEET AT MADISON
Republicans of Badger State Hear De-
nunciation of Both Democrats
and Non-P artisan League.
(By Associated Press


Madison, Wis Condemnation of the
conduct Of the LaFollette delegates at
the national Republican convention; a
denunciation of the activities of the
Non-P Partisan League and a warning
to the farmers and laboring men to
awake to the menace of socialistic poll
cies were the features of the keynote
address decilever by S. H. Cady, Green
Bay, before the conservative conven-
tion meeting in the gymnasium We'd
nesday afternoon.
As the convention convened the in
dications were that Gov Philip would
be renamed, although he has issued a
statement that he would rather the
honor would go to another, and Mr..
Cady voiced the sentiment in his
speech.
The platform Will draw sharply the
issue between the LaFollette faction
and the Nom Partisan Leaguers on the
one hand and the conservative Repub-
licans on the other. Some of its pro-
visions indicate that the progressive
movement will be scored as socialistc
and the Non-Partsan League program
denounced. If Governor Philip re-
fuses to run again for governor it
seems certain that the convention will
turn to Col Gilbert Seaman of Mil
waukee. The name Of Attorney Gem
eral Dithmar has also been mentioned
as a possibility. The modification Of
the Vohlstead act to permit the sale
Of light wines and beer in Wisconsin
is one of the platform planks which
it is expected will be the center Of
storm. The majority believe that the
convention will favor some modifica-

CARPENTERS GO
BACK TO WORK
Threatened Strike of the
Building Trades Ended
Thursday Night.
NO CHANGE IN STATUS
BULLETIN.

Uncertainty again settled down over
the building trade strike situation here
this afternoon, when, despite the
agreement reached by the officials with
the school board last evening, Business
Agent Belts continued to call men off
their work at several jobs. The car
penters and electricians were both
called off at the Virginian theatre just
before noon and the carpenters en-
ployed by Peter Knudsen were pulled
from their work at the same time.
Carpenters did not resume work at
the Dale building on Market Square
because of the misunderstanding but at
the Mckinley school all of them were
back at work with the exception of
two who have taken clearance cards.
The report that the carpenters had
struck at the Simmons Athletic Field
work could not be verified.
Business Agent Belts insisted that
no settlement of the difficulties could
be made except through him or
through representatives of the entire
trades council. He declared no agree
ment would be reached without com
plete recognition of the principles de-
manded when the strike started. He
also said that any carpenters back on
the lob would be called off again.
william Pyne and Business Agent
Belts were to have conference this
afternoon to clear up the uncertainty
surrounding the situation and it was
thought this might end in settlement
Of the strike.

JOHN S. SCHOLEY.
IN G. 0. ?. RACE
Slot Machine Crusader
Takes Out Petitions as
Republican Candidate.
FIRST AFTER MACHINES

John S. Scholey, leader Of the cru
saders in the effort to put an end to
the rule of the slot machines in the
resorts of Kenosha county, came out
this morning as a Republican candi-
date for the nomination as sheriff.
Petitions for his nomination were
taken out by Everett E. Better, one Of
the best known of the Republican lead
ers Of the third ward Of the city and
it is declared that the Scholey cam
paign for the nomination is to be
pushed with considerable vigor by his
friends.
The announcement that Scholey
would seek the Republican nomination
added snap to the campaign and the
fact that the Republican leaders were
somewhat surprised made the coming
Of the petitions sort Of one-day
wonder to the politicians.
Led Slot Machine Crusade.
Candidate Scholey is constable Of the
third ward and he came into the lime
light some four weeks ago when, with
out consulting any of the county off,
GERS, he put on his badge as a con-
stable and started crusading against
slot machines in the county. He
rounded up half dozen of the ma
chimes at two places in the town Of
Pleasant Prairie and trucked them in
to the city. Later he turned them over
to the Municipal Court and appeared
in that court to prosecute the owners
of the places from which the machines
had been taken. As result of his
raid, there has been a general move
ment to suppress gambling of the slot
machine kind in all parts Of the county.
Scholey is declared to have taken
this action as result Of failure of
other officials to act. He also has a
claim to fame on account of the fact
that he appealed to the secretary OF
state to force the city of Kenosha 10
pay its automobile license just the
same as any other operator of an au-
tomobile. Scholey took the train and
went to Madison and had a personal
conference with the secretary of state.
Secretary Merlin Hull told him to go
right ahead and arrest every city Off
cial driving a car without a license tag
on it. AS a result, the city took out
the licenses.
