maries give many observers the i'm
preston that there has been loss of
influence by the La Toilette regime
Explanations given by those who are
skeptical Of the poor showing of the
two brothers offer the suggestion that
in establishing a new party the La
Follettes failed to bring out a large
vote because of the lack of contest
in their party.

ment is inclined to accept the renom-
ination of Gov. Schmedeman, Demo

Sun. brought out merely compi-
mentary vote for Senator La Toilette
His true strength will be shown in No

Tribune sees Presidential support for
Senator La Toilette, but holds that
his brother, Phil, running for Cover
nor, "can scarcely expect any help
from the President in his race against
Gov Schmedeman.

that Roosevelt Democrats and left
wing Republicans are expected to vote
for young Bob in sufficient numbers
to send him back to the Upper House
in Washington.

year is a little crazier than ever be-
fore" The Lincoln (Nebr) State
Journal thinks that the La Toilette
vote may not indicate their full
strength" while the Akron Beacon
Journal sees hope for the La Fol-
lettes in the fact that John M CAL
lahan, the Democratic senatorial
nominee, campaigned for the Consti-
tuition, rather than the New Deal
The Milwaukee Journal remarks
that vital things remain to be de-
cided in November The Oshkosh
Daily Northwestern believes that many
Republicans and Progressives went into
the Democratic primary to "help the
Governor" The Asbury Park Eve
ming Press predicts that eff the La
Follettes are successful in November,

political factor in many States in the
next Presidential election" The

the Progressives need more support
