THE WISCONSIN PRIMARY

Four years ago Robert M. La Toilette wrote:
Il have known Fred Zimmerman for twenty years
and he has always been right"
This summer Fred Zimmerman, candidate for
the nomination for Governor managed to spread
that Endorsement all oyer the State of Wisconsin. He
spread it so far and so wide that Robert M La Fol
ette, Jr, campaigning with all his might, could not
overtake it. He could not reach enough people with
the word that Zimmerman ceased to be loyal to the
elder La Toilette two years after that simple sen
tence was written. The result was that Zimmerman
sQueezes through with the nomination and the anti
La Toilette forces in the State are able to claim
victory
Senator Irvine L. Lenroot onde had the backing
of the senior La Toilette, too, but his detection
cured long enough ago for the fact to become known
to all of Wisconsin. The younger Bobs campaign
against him. therefore Jared better and Lenroot's
service in the Senate is ended.
Zimmerman in position to play badger
game upon the people and Lenroot wasn't. Which
seems to be about all there is to be said concerning

STATE FINANCES

The Governor, in teaching Republican campaign
speakers their lessons State finance, says that mis-
representation cannot win votes this fall
Let it be hoped then, that his pupils will forget
the figures he gives to them and turn to the official
reports.
The Governor says that Watson and Robinson
ought to be sent back to the Senate because he
other State officials have paid off the State debts
and given an economical administration.
The logic may be doubted. The facts are still
more doubtful.
The truth is that the people of the State paid off
the debts by paying in more money to the treasury
and that through tricky juggling of funds, the auto
owners paid off the debt
Unless the official reports of the State admins
tration false, the people paid out approximately
fifty millions Of dollars last year.
The people paid in direct taxation over sixteen
millions of dollars. e.
They paid seven million dollars in 1926 as tax
on gasoline.

Philosophy of Fear

It is true that we became quite
mushy back in those hectic days of
strike, with our visions of "a war
to end war" our notions of "sav-
ing the, world for Democracy" and
our schemes for a "a new order Of
things" but there was something big
and hopeful about it all that is en-
tirely lacking in this aftermath of
cynicism.
We may have seen too much
through the rose tinted spectacles of
Wilson's idealism, but we can see
less than nothing in this fog of mar
row reaction that has come to OBJ
scure II.
We yielded to the philosophy of
adventure then. to the desire of do
ing something bigger and better. even
though we took great risks, but now
we are yielding to the philosophy of
fear.
We have actually permitted politi-
cal rant to scare us. have tucked our
heads under the bedclothes lest we
grow hysterical at the sight of
imaginary bogies.

I can't see the point in all this

If we should go in the League Of
Nations, what could happen to us
on the inside that could not happen
to us on the outside.
There was certainly no League Of

mary results to date indicate the adj
ministration will have a hard time
controlling the next Senate.
At the present lineup, the domi.
mating faction of the Republican
party must win twenty-five out of
twenty-six contests at the polls in
November to maintain a numerical
majority in the upper housewife
tuallX an impossible task as matters
stand.
The Democrats need to win only
two seats to throw control Of the
Senate into the hands of non-ad-
ministration coalition of Democrats
and independents such as exercised
control in the Sixty-eighth Congress-
If the Democrats shouldNWin eight
seats from the Republicans they
could organize the Senate, name the
committee chairmen and run the
legislative show, without help from
the independents. Their strength,
of course, cannot be estimated I'M
til November, but the victory Of
John J. Blaine, La Toilette aEhp-
porter, in Wisconsin, and Smith Il.
Brookhart in Iowa over two Admin
istration Republicans, has made the
Independents stronger numerically
than they were even in 1923, when
the La Toilette group held the bal
ance of legislative power.
Besides the gains in Iowa and Wis
consin, the independents have held
strength by renominating a sena-
torial candidate in North Dakota, no

nomination this year.
With Blaine and Brookhart

would have a minimum strength Of
six Republicans, La Toilette, Wis

Nebraska; Frazier, North Dakota;
Nye, North Dakota, and Brookhart,

But this strength would be sweIed

TOPRESENT DRY
LAW AMENDMENTS
Thirteen Prohibition Bills on
Senate Calendar.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Thirteen
bills to amend or strengthen the
national prohibition act have been
placed in an advanced position upon
the Senate calendar for action at the
coming short session of Congress
opening in December.
Although most Of them are So
called wet bills, championed by those
against prohibition, there is one
measure which the Treasury Depart
ment and the drys intend to force
to the front. And when this one bill
is brought forward 1t will open the
way for the vets to discuss the en-
tire subject of prohibition and to
tack en- their pet measures as amend
ments.
The important measure from the
standpoint of Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Andrews in charge of
prohibition enforcement is the bill
passed last session by the House
which would create a separate pro-
hihition bureau within the Treasury
Department and strengthen its pow
ers.
Andrews betrayed dismay when
the measure failed of adoption in
the Senate last session because of
the press of time. His friends have
intimated that unless the bill is
passed he will Immediately resign
his post, In the belief that the law
cannot be effectively enforced with
out the desired legislation.
The wet measures carry the adj
verse reports of the Senate judiciary
Committee and were reported merely
because the vets accused the drys Of
