MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April wis
consin voters seemingly aroused as
never before in a similar campaign.
next Tuesday will select delegates to
the Republican and Democratic Ma
tional Conventions.
Politicians are bewildered, and In
some instances a little frightened by
the tremendous interest the delegate
campaigns have aroused. Cross roads
halls, where formerly a handful met
for a caucus, have been jammed 70
capacity. In cities, auditoriums were
too small to accommodate the croWos
eager for details Of spirited fights in
both parties.
Republicans will choose 81 delegates,
7 of whom are to be elected at large.
There are two states of energetic can
didates-one group sponsored oT the
La Toilette organization and pledged 70
support Senator George w. Norris OK
Nebraska for President. and the con-
servative faction which has given
tacit Endorsement to President Hoover.
Oppose La Toilette. ~-.
Conservative Republicans have made
ringing appeals to Wisconsin to get
back in the fold of party regularity.
They have asked for the overthrow sof
the old La Toilette organization, now
dominated by two young La Follettes,
Senator Robert M La Toilette and Gov.
Philip F. La Toilette. Conservatives
have based their campaign almost en-
tirely on State issues, on the admins
tration of Gov. La Toilette and his
authorship of policies which the con-
servatives regard dangerously akin to
Socialism
Both Wisconsin Senators, La Toilette
and John J. Blaine, are candidates Tor
delegate to the REPUBLICAN Convention.
The La Toilette organization Is COM
mitted to high taxation and "redtstri-
button Of wealth" to meet economic and
social problems.
On prohibition conservative Repub-
licans have been embarrassed by an
administration much too dry to please
wet Wisconsin. But on this score Pro-
gressives have been equally embarrassed
by the dry record of Senator Norris.
Smith Faction Busy.
Democrats will choose 26 delegates, 6
at large. One slate, sponsored by the
Democratic State organization, is COM
mitted to support Gov. Franklin d.
Roosevelt. The other group of candi-
dates is generally believed to favor
Alfred E. Smith as first choice, but is
not definitely pledged. The group, IA
vorably disposed to Smith was put in
! the field by John NJ Callahan, Demo-
cratic national committeeman, who has
broken off relations with the State or
ganizaticn.
Political observers almost unani-
| mously predict that both Wisconsin
delegations will be divided.

COURT REINSTATES
LOUISIANA STUDENT

BY the Associated Press
NATCHITOCHES, La, April 2.-The
court intervened today In the expulsion
of youth from Louisiana State Normal
College for telling newspaper about a
student strike and ordered President
w. w. Tison to reinstate him.
The order was issued in settling a
mandamus suit brought by William j.
Dodd against President Tison with re-
instatement as its objective.
The youth maintained he violated no
rule in giving out the story but Tison
countered with the contention Dodd
was responsible for the publication of
a dispatch that pictured the president
as relenting in the face of threats from
students to go on. strike from classes
unless he allowed them to observe
Easter Monday as a holiday.
Testimony divulged the students later
Withdrew their ultimatum and apollo
gized.
Claims Of Dodd's undue familiarity
with President Tison had a prominent
place in the testimony. Defense wit
nesses said the youth patted the edu-
Gator on the back in "contemptuous
familiarity" and addressed him as
wv. w" while they argued regarding
the holiday.
Dodd replied his manner was merely
"a friendly gesture. ~
TiSon's counsel said the case would
be appealed to the State Supreme Court.

DRY STRATEG|STS
WARN PARTY HEADS
Circular Threatens Defeat OF
Leaders Who Disregard
Constituents Wishes.

The National Prohibition Board OF
Strategy is sending key workers through
out the country a circular saying: If
party leaders refuse to heed the known
wishes of those they represent. the only
future recourse is to select other lead
ers."
Eight thousand copies have been
printed. 1t is going to Anti-Saloon
League and w. C. T. U. leaders in every
State. They are asked to put it into the
hands OF convention delegates, and to
supply names Of other key citizens to
receive 1t.
Edwin C. Dinwiddie, executive secre-
tary of the board, recently said drys
throughout the country would refuse to
vote for wet candidates or platforms in
1882. There has been increasing talk OF
a third-party movement by the drys In
the event both parties adopt moist
plankS.
Admonishes Leaders.
The Board of Strategys circular d.
rectly admonishes Republican and
Democratic leaders, urges drys to work
for friendly convention delegates, and
emphasizes JIlc CuCCI Will AAOoS@@S
President might have on prohibition.
Explaining 1t will ask both political
parties to nominate candidates COM
| mitted to effective enforcement" and to
include in its platform "clear-cut, un-
eouivocal declarations pledging the sup
port of the party and its nominees TO
vigorous and effective enforcement OF
the eighteenth amendment" the circu-
lar continues:
"A statistical analyst has proven
that taking the average elections over
the country the vets have the best
chance to win when less than SO per
cent Of the qualified voters-a greater
per cent in some States and less In
some others-register their vote. This
emphasizes the urgent need for 'drys'
to make a point OF voting In all in
stances where delegates to the national
conventions are chosen by preferential
primary"
Effects of "Wet" President.
Democrats were told by the circular
that their 1928 candidate, Gov. Smith,
"repudiated the party declaration and
openly advocated the repeal of prohibi-
ton" and "got the electoral vote OF only
eight ~.ates" Republicans were asked
to all numerous State contests in
which dry RepuDllcanS refused u
support the party candidate because OF
his known wetness."
The board added it is convinced that
nationally the great body of dry Re
publicans would feel impelled to adopt
this course If the convention should be
misled by wet sophistry."
"One aspirant for the presidency re-
Gently states publicly the President
can't repeal prohibition the circular
said. THAT is fact but the Presi-
dents powers over the matter are great.
Through his message to Congress max
ing recommendations relating to legis-
lation; through appointments to high
positions; through patronage at his dis
posal; and in great degree through
personal example, a wet President
could so disorganize the public service
as to bring about a condition of chaos" "
