Jr., son of the late senator from Wis
conisn, was elected to succeed his
father In the United States senate by
a majority in excess of 10000 votes.
He carried the 70 of the II counties In
the state.
Returns from 2,377 out of 1852 pre-
cincts, give La Toilette 222,151; Ed
ward F. Dithmar, Coolidge Indepen-
dent, S7,607; George Bruce, Democrat,
1857; John NJ. Work, Socialist, 11,072,
and George Bauman, Farm-Labor, 700.
Kenosha county, home of the Cool
idge stalwart Republican wing Of the
party in the state, went over to the
opposition. La Toilette carrying it by
plurality over Dithmar Of ZIG votes.
The vote there stood:
La Toilette, 1876; Dithmar, $3.50.

Endorsed the platform of the La Fol
lette-Wheeler party Of 1924. Racine
county capitulated to the new S0-year-
old senator by vote of 5,S08 for him
to 3,189 for Dithmar.
In the primary of September Is La
Toilette ran up majority of more
than $4,000 votes and showed all the
vote-getting tendencies of his father.
His primary race was merely work
out insofar as speed was concerned,
even though he held a plurality of
more than 10000 over his nearest op-
ponent.
The fight since the beginning Of the
final round of the campaign was based
on whether the people Of Wisconsin
wanted a man in the United States
senate who would stand behind Pre-
sident Coolidge or one who would fol-
low in the footsteps of Robert Marion
La Toilette" The answer was given
most emphatically.

Value of Short Wiring

The reason for the use of short wir.
ing and right-angle turns in connecting
a set is simple one. Every wire car.
rying an electric current has a mag
netic field; If two wires are placed
near each other, they will absorb cur-
rent, but If placed at right angles, thew
will oppose each other, which is Just
what they should do. If the wires are
run long. they will, of course, meet
with other long leads. and there will be
