ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. 24-When
John B. Chapple won the Republic
an senatorial nomination in the
state primaries over the La Fol-
lette-supported Senator John J.
Blaine, his campaign battle-ground
spread to nation wide dimensions.
While his immediate political flu
ture will be determined in the forth
coming election, none in Wisconsin
doubts that this stalwart young
f1re-eater will make himself heard
in national politics hereafter.
Many factors, individually, con
tributed to the collapse of the La
Toilette dynasty.
But Chapple on a speakers stand,
fists clenched, head thrown back,
roaring denunciation OF Governor
Philip F. La Toilette and "his po-
litical racket" became the symbol
of the opposition.
Single handed, financing his cru
SADIE by selling pamphlets, sleeping
between speeches in the open like
the Woodsman he is, this 32-yea--
old managing editor of the Ashland
Press probably was the force that.
won the struggle.
He Charges Communism
How could political STRIPPING, no
matter how dynamic and resource
ful, persuade the voters of Wiscon-
sin, where politics comes second
nature, to GUST the regime they so
enthusiastically installed four years
ago?
Here was his line of attack, di-
rected against the Governor, his
coterie Of progressives, the so-called
liberals in the administration and
faculty Of the University of Wis
consin, and all those in the COM
monwealth who sided with that
regime.
He accused the La Toilette fac
ton Of practicing Communism,
shouting:
This Communistic cancer that is
gnawing out the vitals of our Amer
lean order must be cut away at the
roots.
Lashes at University
ITO destroy the American eco
nomic system would destroy initia-
tive and energy and reduce our
standard of living permanently.
That is the direction in which the
La Toilette political racket leads"
He appealed to the wives and
mothers of Wisconsin in his attack
on the university. He said:
1.-THE attack upon American moral
standards carried on at the uni
versity is led by other intimates of
the La Toilette group.
why has there been SO much
emphasis on birth control before

daughters who are still in their
teens?"

family and the sacredness of the
relationship between a man, his
wife and their children out-worn
and old-fashioned?"
He appealed to the workers, point
ing out that his first full-time job
at the age of IL was standing be-
fore machine 10 hours a day, COM
plotting calendars for 81 a week.
He made his way through college
playing in an orchestra, waiting on
tables and working in a hospital.
He has worked on lake boats and in
the woods. He told the workers:
Backs Bonus Payment
II pledge myself to work untiring-
ly to restore the jobs and earning
power to the people, and to fight
with all my strength against those,
who knowingly or unknowingly are
advocating Communistic legislation"
He told the farmers that he be-
lieved in a protective American
market for them; he told war vet
Grams that he favors immediate cash
payment of the bonus; he said he
favored immediate settlement of the
prohibition question ''in accord
ance with the desires of the majority
of the citizens of the respective
