Senator Wheeler Enjoys a Fight-1gnd Like All
Other Fighters He Boasts Manager, HIS Wife

EUdASHINGTON, July a.
lWI Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
III having tossed his sombrero
into the vice presidential ring, is
breathing long signs of happiness
and contentment.
His new position as La Follette's
running mate means highland the
Senator from Montana would rath-
er fight than eat.
He showed he was far from an
effete Easternef-even though
born in Massachusetts-by his
fight gainst the so-called Copper
Collar Gang" in the Anaconda cop
per strike.
During his expose of the gangs
methods, several outlets came his
way. Wheeler actually liked that,
and he's still alive and kicking
particularly kicking.
Wife Decided 1t
But every fighter has mana
ger, and Wheeler is no exception.
His manager is Mrs. Wheeler, nee
Miss Lulu White
The romance started while
Wheeler was working his way
through the University of Michi-
gan, selling cook books during
summer vacation. He came one
day to the White farm, in Illi-
nois.
The Whites already had a cook
book, but when Wheeler recounted
his many troubles they invited him
to stay over night. AS a guest at
the farm, he met Miss Lulu White.
Then he stayed for two weeks!
They were married two years
after he had gone TO Butte, Mont,
in 1905 to practice law.
Mrs. Wheeler has been his man.
ager ever since. When asked if
he would accept the progressive
vice presidential nomination.
Wheeler said
''Yes-my wife says it's all right
I guess 1 wiur -
Autos His Jinx
Next to fighting, Wheeler likes
fishing and picnicking with his
family.
The Wheeler family, starting on
such an expedition, is quite an i'm
posing sight. Besides Mrs.
Wheeler and the Senator, there are
five little Wheelers. John. Is, is
the oldest; Richard. 4, is the
baby" In between are Elizabeth,
Edward and Frances.
Wheeler's link" has been auto
mobiles that won't run. He's had
four, each one bigger than the last,
due to an increasing family.

yielding. His medium-welght wool
en- suits have given way to light
weight tropical worsteds.
And his stifly starched collar
has been supplanted by those of the
soft, limp variety.
Although signs of mental warmth
as we'll as physical, are evident in
the atmosphere of the outer offices,
the barometer in the presidents
own inner sanctum fails 20 forecast
any brewing thunderstorm.
The assumption of eastern news
papers that the better prices for
farm products, now current, have
already solved the farm crisis is be-
Eng found erroneous.
Reports being gathered in inter
ested political quarters are that
present conditions are but a pallia-
tive; that they are perhaps easing
che pain Of the patient but are by
no means putting him on his feet
again.
In other words, the good prices
received this year by farmers who
made crops in which prices have
advanced, will be used IN paying
off or reducing accumulated indebr
edness or in making purchases o.
supplies and equipment they have
been unable to buy for the past few
years.
The result is that although agr-
cultural Indebtedness and need will
be relieved, agricultural bank ac-
counts will not be fattened. The
farmer, even in the wheat and corn
country, will still be we'll behind the
game in his average for the past
three years.
In addition to these farmers,
however, who are finding even this
small measure of relief in improved
prices, it is now emphasized that
whole sections will be worse off
this year than last, because of crop
failures.
As result, it seems certain the
great emphasis of the campaign is
to be kept on things economic.
This is what the La Toilette
hackers are hoping for. They OK
pect to picture the whole national
problem as an economic one, in
which the big question is whether
prosperity" is to be measured ir
terms of the whole people or simply
by the situation of the few.
