SENATOR LENROOT BEING
DOOMED FOR VICE
PRESIDENT
Movement Under Way to Make Wis
consin's Senator Running Mate
foI Coolidge in 1924.

Washington, ID. Ca brand new
boom for Senator Lenroot of Wis
consin as running mate for Calvin
Coolidge in 1924, was Unbiased at
Washington recently.
Officials of the Republican Ma
tional Committee admitted that the
Wisconsin senator, one of the most
pronounced foes of the Progressive
group which Includes LaFollette,
Shipstead, Brookhart and others, is
under consideration.
Republican leaders declined to be
quoted, however, on the ground that
attaches of the national committee
are presumed to be entirely neutral
in their views as to candidates, and
for the further reason that it is too
far in advance of the next conven-
ton to cite up to particular candi-
dacies.
In any event, it appears probable
that Senator Lenroot's friends will
present his name to the next Repub-
lican convention and that he will
have strong support for the vice
presidential nomination.
Those who are booming" Lenroot
take the position that Coolidge is
the most avilable candidate for
president and that a western man
will be needed to give the ticket an
antidote to its strong Eastern flavor.
1t is recalled that Senator Len
root was runner-up to Coolidge as
a vice presidential candidate in the
1920 convention. He had, in fact,
been selected for the second place on
the ticket by the late President
Harding, Senator Lodge, and other
leaders who knew of his strong OPP
position to the LaFollette policies
since he came to the Senate, but
the rank and file of the convention
delegates believed he was still one
of LaFollette's followers and a
stampede for Coolidge developed
which the leaders were powerless to
check.
Since 1920, Senator Lenroot has
been one of the staunchest support
ers of administration policies in the
Senate, and it is held that the old
prejudice which existed against him
among party regulars" has been

entirely eliminated.
The only obstacle which the Sena-
tors friends see to his possible
nomination is the fact that the Wis
consin delegation is almost certain
to Withhold its support if Lenroot is
placed in nomination at Chicago.
Since 1912, Wisconsin has been
sending delegations to Republican
conventions pledged almost sohdly
to Senator LaFollette for president.
At the last convention, "a Of the
26 delegates voted for LaFollette on
every ballot and when Lenroot was
placed in nomination for vice
president the "a LaFoIlette delegates
cast their votes for the late Senator
Gronna of North Dakota. Senator
Lenroot thus received only two votes
from his own state and his candidacy
undoubtedly was weakened in the
eyes of the convention. It has long
been the rule in Republican conven-
tons that no candidate for place
on the ticket shall be nominated who

Horses Still in Use Despite
Gas Rivals.

Wisconsin is still far from being
a horseless state. According to the
1922 census there are in Wisconsin
$4,000 horses and 1900 mules
worth, at a conservative estimate,
about SCI 100000. While the
number is a slight decrease over the
high peak of some years ago, it is
better than the average for the last
decade 1t means that Wisconsin
farmers are still doing their work
with horses, despite the $4,000
tractors it is estimated are in opera
ton in the Badger state. Forty
horses for every tractor does not
look very much as if gasoline power
were mightier than old Dobbin's
muscles.
From the standpoint of the man
who raises horses for sale the situa-
ton in Wisconsin has been very bad
for a number of years. It has cost
more to raise a colt to 3 years of
age than he would bring in the
market For this reason Wisconsin
farmers have not been breeding as
many colts, with the result that most
of the farm horses in the state are
getting old and will have to be re
placed soon If there are not
enough surplus horses in the state,
the rest viii have to be imported"
from other states

1t is unfortunate that some tractor
manufacturers should try to create
the impression that the horse is pass
ed and should be replaced. 1t is
almost equally unfortunate that
horse breeding associations should
try to create an impression that the
tractor is untitled for profitable
farming operations.
In Wisconsin it is necessary to
have power for operation of silage
cutting machines and for small farm
threshing machines. In the past
this power was provided largely by
stationary gasoline engines. Such
an engine costs about as much as
one of the cheaper types of tractors
and can be used only for supplying
belt power But the tractor is on
hand to help in the peak periods of
farm work; to pillow during the
spring planting rush, or to pull
heavy disc harrows on soft fields
where the work is too heavy for
horses. In other words, by using a
tractor many a farmer can make
his present quota of horses last
longer, and get his rush work done
without unduly furnishing his
animals Without a tractor severe
overload is put upon farm horses in
the spring and both horses and farm
suffer,

BOASTFUL SH TX KILLED BY WOMAN
Wife Of Suspect Denies HuS- band Was Slayer Of Hand-
 some Cab Driver

HAMMOND, Ind, Oct 27.-Bill Sterns, the cab driving lothario and super small town sheik of Hammond, who was murdered, according to the police. because he couldn't resist boasting of his successes In the field of romantic adventure, was killed by a woman.
 This is the opinion of pretty Mrs. Agnes Holtz, whose husband Is held by the police on suspicion. Other prominent men of Hammond, whose wives are said to have been well acquainted with the handsome cab driver, are also being kept under surveillance, 1t is said.
 Tt wasn't my husband that shot Bill Sterns," insists Mrs. Holtz. Tt They were all simply crazy about Bill, and he had to lay off for two weeks to get rid of some of them.
 Nevertheless. according to the po- lice, Sterns was shot dead 10 min utes after he left Mrs. Holtz, who is separated from her husband and is suing for divorce.
 The Hammond police also claim that Holtz notified them that if they didn't keep Sterns from break ing Up my home I'll take the low into my own hands"
 Other men, however are known to have had similar notions and Holtz @COAA0 alibi.
 Bill Sterns had a premonition of death, it develops from Mrs. Holtz's statements.
 Bill remarked to me Wednesday night that 1t would be only a short time before he was dead" she con- fided He asked me if I would visit his grave.
 He appeared suspicious that someone was following him when he came in. He pulled down all the window shades.
 He was an awfully nice man. I still love my husband. I don't be- lieve Henry killed Bill. You see, about a month ago, Bill told me he was going to get rid of all the other women who were tagging him around.
 "Then when you get your divorce. we can be happy he said. Now these other women, they used to walt for Bills jitney. Yes, sir, they pay their own way to ride in 1t, If necessary.
