4 IN FINAL RACE
FOR WISCONSIN
{ { n 4 7 D R
Voters Go to Polls to
Decide Successor to
LaFollette.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 29.-P)-
Votes cast in n statewide election
today will decide whether Robert NJ.
LaFollette Jr., is TO succeed his
father as United States senator or
whether one of the four other candi-
dates will be elevated TO this high
national honor. The others are:
Edward +. Dithmar. William
George Bruce, John NJ. Work and
George Bauman.
LaFollette is the Republican nomi-
nee but has announced himself as
endorsing the platform of the LaFol-
lette-Whecler party in 1924, attacked
the Coolidge administration and put
his issue before the people in a terse
statement that il was a controversy
between a man who would back up
President Calvin Coolidge or one who
would further the principles of Rob
ert NJ. LaFollette Sr.
ENDORSES COOLIDGE.
Dithmar has confined his campaign
principally to general endorsement of
the Coolidge administration, par
ticularly emphasizing the economy
program. Dithmar is running as an
independent, although with the back
ing of the anti-LaFollette Republicans
of the state.
Bruce was the Democratic candi-
date in the primary but did not re-
ccive sufficient votes to 60 ahead on
today's ballot under the party BAN
ner. He filed, however, as an indie
pendent, which he is permitted to do
under the law. Bruce has said he
favors the Great Lakes to the At
lantic waterway and has promised to
work for that under all conditions.
Work, the Socialist nominee, en-
dorsed the Cleveland 1924 LaFollette-
Wheeler platform and has accused
LaFollette of being insincero in his
endorsement of the sand platform.
LIKE FATHER.
Bauman is the Socialist-Labor nomi-
nee but has made no campaign.
LaFollette began his final campaign
Immediately after the primary and
on the platform, displayed many of
the characteristics of his late father.
His delivery was considered as force
full as was that of the senior LaFol-
lette at the height Of his career.
Many of the gestures and utterances
of Senator LaFollette which had a
personal appeal for the voter also
were used by his son. While speak
ing Senator LaFollette had a habit
of running his fingers through his
pompadour. Young Bob inherited this
characteristic. In personal appear
ance, the young aSpirant reminds the
audience of his father, especially the
LaFollette in the days Of his early
political activities.
