EXPECT RETURN
OF LA Toilette
TO SENATE JOB
Despite Youth Is Favored to
Win Over Regulars of
Party.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
For NEA Service


WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-When
the seventy-f1rst Congress convenes
it appears probable that Robert M.
La Toilette still will be til youngest
man in the Senate.
Reports from Wisconsin indicate
that the regular Republicans, or
"stalwarts," have little hope of de-
feating him for denomination in the
primary on Sept. 4.
Return Seems Certain
La Toilette is only SO years old
and his political enemies have IN
dertaken to use the fact against
him. It's mans job. they say, and
now that the State has paid him
the compliment of allowing him to
serve out his late fathers term, it
ought to remember that Young Bob
is just boy and hasn't really cut
any figure in Congress.
But Young Bob's friends are pre-
dieting that he will win three to one.
His opponent for the nomination
is George w. Mead, millionaire
mayor Of Wisconsin Rapids and
president Of a water power COM
pany and a paper company.
La Toilette appears to be so as
sured of his own denomination that
he is devoting most of his time to-
ward the nomination of Congress-
man Joseph D. Beck, one of the old
La Toilette progressives, for Cover
nor.
Fight Utilities
The La Toilette ticket is engaged
in the bitterest sort of a struggle
with the electric power interests,
which are reported to be spending a
wad Of money for their candidates.
Sam insults companies own about
80 per cent Of the public utilities
and water power in Wisconsin.
The fight between the power in
terests and their allies and the pro-
gressives has come to center on the
gubernatorial fight The former be-
lieve that it is more important for
them to win this than to defeat
Young Bob.

Three MILLIONS
Spent IN FLOOD
| AREA This YEAR
Red Cross Gives Relief to
10000 in Mississippi
Valley.
BY C. J. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Flood
relief in the Mississippi valley has
cost nearly three and a quarter mill
lion dollars this year, the national
Red Cross announced today.
Actually $3,218,948 has been spent
since Jan. l.
Floods this year affected 10000
yersons and inundated seventy-f1ve
counties, just half as many as were
flooded during the great disaster Of
1927.
Because the floods we're not SO
serious and the water receded much
more quickly no lives were lost, &C
cording to reports from the various
Red Cross chapters.
Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana
were the States mainly affected.
Relief workers also were stationed
at points in Illinois, Indiana, Ken
lucky and West Virginia because
of overf1ows in those States.
Since the 1927 disaster $16,994, 1863
has been spent in the Mississippi
valley by the Red Cross for flood
relief. In addition the War Depart
nent has spent between two and
three million dollars in supplying
tents and other relief supplies. This
year the department has furnished
supplies only in few isolated
cases.
Red Cross workers in the. seventy
five counties which have been dev-
astated by floods both years say that
the situation in them is serious and
that the residents are facing diff
f1cult future. Crop failures have
confronted them for the last four
or five years, merchants are hard
pressed and credit conditions are
not good.
Robert E. Bondy, manager Of the
Red Cross eastern area, says that
economic losses in the flood dis
tricts this year have been enormous.
Relief has generally consisted in
furnishing food for families and
their stock, supplying seeds and as
sistance in getting crops planted

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-tP-The boy

a right-handed pitcher who seems
to have designs upon the world Sc
ries pitching records of such mas
ters as Mathewson, Bender and PEN

Cardinals with three safe hits and

Waite Hoyt increased his s~ix-year
string to five victories and only
three defeats.
The Yankee ace thus matched in
victories Pennock, who has lost
none. and the immortal Matty, who
divided ten. He now needs only one
more triumph to equal the record
figure of Chief Bender, who won six
and lost four in a long and honor
able career from 1905 through 1914.

SNYDER QUITS
CHAMP Bluffs
Gives No Reason But
Is to Confer With
Branch Hickey

HOUSTON. Tex. OF. DIP
Frank Snyder, who piloted the Hous-
ton baseball club to the Texas league
and Dixie championships, today an
nounced his resignation as manager
Of the Buffsloes.
The former Giant catcher gave no
reason for his action but declared he
had several attractive offers under
consideration and that he probably
would know something definite con-
corning his future plans upon his re-
turn from the World Series. Snyder
planned to leave today for ST. Louis
where he said he would confer with
Branch Hickey Of the Cardinals.
The mar who carried the Bluffs
through TO their first pennant in II
years and their first Dixie title an
nounced his action when his men re-
ported today to receive their Dixie
series checks. He had just left a
conference with Fred Ankenman.
President Ankenman later declared
that after payment of the Dixie Sc
ries checks there had been some mis-
understanding over the payment OF
salaries from the close Of the Wich-
tia Falls-Houston Texas league play
off and the beginning OF the Dixie
series. Presumably this misunder-
standing figured in the managers
resignation, the club president said.
Alderman will leave tonight for
81. Louis where he will confer with
Hickey. Some understanding mag be
reached at that time, it was thought.
Snyder was under a one-year contract
with the Houston club.

The Scorpions started off we'll. but
the superior teamwork and play of
