For the first time in many years, the LaFollettes will not control the Badger State delegation nor be the keynoters for the Wisconsin program pre- sented the national convention.
 Progressives declare that the defection from their machine is clue to the big vote boiled in the Democratic primary. It is de- clared that for the first time in history of the primary elections in Wisconsin that the Democrats cast almost as many votes as did the Republicans.

Republican primary went over and took part in the Smith Roosevelt scrap. It is believed that these voters will be back ill the Progressive ranks next Mo- vember when Senator Blaine will be up for reelection and Governor Phillip LaFollette will ask for another term as gov ernor.
 Leaders of the Progressive forces assert that the result Of the primary in Wisconsin indi- cates 3-to-1 vote against President Hoover, and they free ly predict that if Roosevelt is the Democratic candidate he will carry the state in the general election.
 The Stalwart delegates were not instructed though they are said to favor President Hoover while the Progressive forces are pledged to Senator George w Norris of Nebraska who is not a candidate for the office of preSi- dent. Senator Bob I.afollette and Governor Phillip Lafollette both took the stump during the cam raign against President Hoover and called for new deal.

 THE SONG OF THE SOURDOUGH
 By James R. Little Oh, to feel the fresh breeze blowing From the lone ridges yet untrod; Oh to see the far peak glowing Brighter as it climbs to God! Where the Yukon's streamlet rushes I would follow, follow Till heard the happy thrushes Piping lyrics to the dawn would hear the wind rejoicing Of the wnd-blown cedar-tree, Hear the sturdy hemlock voicng Ancient epics of the free Forest isles would I be winding Out beyond the gates of care And in dim cathedrals finding Silence at the shrine of prayer When the mystic night comes stealing Through my vast green room afar Never king had richer ceiling Bended bough and diamond star. Ah to list the sacred preaching Of the forests faithful fr With his strong upward reaching Mighty trustfu worshipper! Come Chechako, learn the joy of living Come and you will understand How the Sun his gold is giving With great impartial hand. How the patient pine is climbing Year by year to gain the sky; How the Yukon makes sweetest rhyming, Where the deepest shadows lie the great Giver Where his handWork is crude; Friend am of peak and river, COrnrade of old Solitude. Not for me the City's riot! Not for me the towers of Trade! would seek the land of quiet, Where true friendships kept and made!

WASHINGTON, May 11.-At-
tempts of miners in Bell and Har-
Ian counties. Kentucky, to organ
ize with the United Mine Work
ers of America, resulted in gen.
eral blacklisting on the part of the
coal operators, James G. Garland,
Pineville ky miner, told SEN
ate subcommittee.
The committee was holding pre-
liminary hearing on the Costigan
resolution to determine whether a
congressional investigation of
charges of terrorism and violation
of constitutional rights in south
eastern Kentucky would be jusu-
fed.
Garland said twenty-five children
living in the Straight Creek sec
ton died in the spring Of 1891 be-
cause of the monotony Of their diet
and the lack Of milk.
Telling Of the scrip system Of
paying miners, he asserted prices in

said a SO cent shirt sold for 81 in
company stores.
Rob Hall, Columbia university
student and leader of the college
group that was turned back by
Walter B. Smith, county attorney
at Pineville, when it attempted to
tour the coal field, said the abro-
CATION of human rights in Ken
lucky had made many students in
the party doubt whether the Con-
stitution was effective"
Hall told how Smith stopped the
student party at Cumberland Gap
and took them to Middlesboro Qxy)
courthouse, telling the students
they either would have to post
bonds or leave Kentucky.
Lee Fleenor, a member Of Smiths
party, threatened him with pls-
toll. Hall said.
When we told Smith he was vio-
lating our constitutional rights, he
said, This is Kentucky and I am
the law here" Hall continued.

Some Of our legal luminaries con-
tend that the Constitution must be
changed to shorten the ballot. II
such step is necessary. then by all
means it should be taken.
Thousands Of citizens stayed away
from the polls May 4 because their
feelings were the same as expressed
by one voter in Washington town
ship. who wrote across his ballot. in
evident disgust after wading half
way through the representative list:
oh, hell, this is too long"
And the ballots were too long
Election and canvassing board men,
bers reported that hundreds Of the
tablecloth-Sized ballots carried votes
for only two or three offices.
One suggested immediate remedy
is that the primary voting be done
on machines.
Proponents Of this plan would
have two machines set up in each
polling place. one carrying the
names of the Republican candidates
and the other that OF the Demo-
Gratis.
The voter would push up the
pointer over those he desired to
scratch and the machine then
would record the vote.
If this method would be too diff
cult, then machines could be OBJ
tanned which would provide that
when a voter is admitted to the
booth all the pointers swing up and
it is merely necessary to pull them
down over those candidates favored.
Some reform is imperative.
Two years ago the bar associa-
ton, in convention here, decided to
submit a bill to the legislature pro-
viding for nOnpartisan election of
judges as means Of obtaining the
best possible legal talent.
If memory is correct, the pro-
posed measure would have provided
that only those aspirants for judi
cial offices who had their petitions
signed by certain percentage of
the voters could get their names on
the separate judicial ballot, and the
candidate obtaining plurality
would be declared elected.
Several suggested that such an
election be held in the of year and
