Delaware Also Offers Clear
Fight Over Dry Law, But in
Wisconsin 1t Is La Toilette

Five million voters in New York,
Wisconsin and Massachusetts,
trooped to the polls today in the
last Of the State primaries to
choose party candidates for the
major battles Of November's
elections.
A Republican State convention
in Connecticut and Democratic
State conclave in Delaware
added diversity to the days politi-
cal developments, but the Sena-
torial race in Massachusetts, held
the center of interest.
Dry Law Issue There
Prohibition was the rampant
issue in the old Bay State, and
in Delaware, too, but out in Wis
consin the La Toilette family bat
tied again on their favorite issue
OF insurgency.
The Massachusetts, contests at
tracted national interest because
william Butler. friend of former
President Coolidge and former
Republican national chairman, is
seeking the Republican Senatorial
nomination. Running as q dry,
Butler is opposed by Eben s.
Draper, former State Senator,
who Is wet. and Andrew j..
"Bossy'' Gillis, moist mayor OF
NeWburyport. Buffers two wet
opponents made prohibition the
outstanding issue, so far SIS the
national politicians are concerned.
The Democratic Senatorial con.
test in the Bay State presented
the same sort Of race.
Five Are in Race
Marcus A. Coolidge, former
mayor Of Fitchburg, wet, was
opposed by former governor
Fugene N. Foss, a dry, as the
outstanding candidates although
Peter j. Joyczen, nlanufac'
turer: Former District Attorney
THOMAS c. O'Brien, of Boston,
and Joseph F. O'Connell. former
Representative, were also in the
race.
The other out and out wet and
dry fight was being staged at
the Democratic convention in
Delaware. Former Sen ator
Thomas r. Bayard, a dripping
wet, looked like a winner over
Joseph Marvel, backed by drys.
IF Bayard does get the nomlna'
ton, Delaware will stage another
wet and dry battle in November
since the Republicans there al
ready have nominated Senator
Daniel o. Hastings, who has Anti
Saloon League support.
In New York, prohibition played
q part in some of the congresslon'
al campaigns.
In Wisconsin, Philip F. La Fol
lette, a brother of Senator Rob
ert r. La Follotte. jr., seeks the Re
publican gubernatorial nomina'
ton against the regular Republi'
can, Governor Walter j. Kohler
Both Are ''Wet"
La Toilette is wet and SO is Koh.
Ter and the campaign was fought
out on the question of La Toilette
control of the State. The winner
in the primary is assured of cleo
tion.
In Connecticut, the outstanding
contest was over the governorshir
with Lieut.. Governor Ernest E
Rogers likely to win the Republi
can nomination since Governor
John II. Trumbull announced he
was not candidate for another
term.
The contests today wind UP the
primaries, but New Mexico anc

For Teachers

COLUMnFS. Chic, july ;. U.p)
Passage OF the state measures to
insure public school teachers of ten
urc in office and to adequately
provide for them after retirement,
was urged in resolutions presented
at today's session Of the National
Education Association.
The resolutions expressed as the
aaSociation's belief that teachers
"yhould hold their positions during
good behavior and competent serv-
ice, and that such laws should pro
tect them from injuries, place them
on Il professional basis and secure
for them reasonable and academic
freedom; but would not prevent
their discharge for incompetency
immortality, or unprofcssional con
duct"
Adoption of both was predicted.
Another resolution suggested that
requirements for new teachers I'M
mediatrlv be increased in all states.
