PHIL LA TOILETTE
IN GOVERNOR RACE
New Progressive Party to
Have Clean.Cut Test OF
Strength Sept. 18.
BY the Associated Press.

MADISON, Wis, August 15.-A
clear-cut test of the vote-drawing
powers of the new Progressive party
and its standard bearers, the La Fol-
lette brothers-Senator Robert M. and
former Gov. Phillip F.-was forecast
for the September Is primaries yes
terday, when Phil filed nomination
papers as a candidate for Governor.
Although Senator Bob's candidacy
has been known for months, Phil's
filing was an eleventh-hour event,
since he had held his silence in the
face of a quiet campaign to draft him,
announcing he would run only in the
event no ''time-tested Progressive
leader" qualified for the race.
The former Governor, defeated in
the Republican primaries by Walter
j. Kohler in 1882. appeared at the
secretary of States Office personally
today to file his petitions, bearing
$4,000 signatures.
1t appears likely as the midnight
deadline for filing approached that
Phil would be the sole candidate for
Governor in the Progressive column.
Petitions were filed by friend today
for Charles c. Goldammer of Dor
chester, vice president of the Wiscon-
sin Farm Holiday Association, but
Goldammer had made no declaration
of acceptance and political seers be-
Ieved he would not seek the Office.
The Republican party, whose strange
political alliance with its progressive
faction was terminated this Summer
by the formation of the Progressive
party. has qualified three candidates

Roosevelt the plan came to life again.
Rexford Guy Tugwell, Undersecretary
Of Agriculture, and other officials
have been laboring overtime to draft
a simplified program that might meet
the Presidents approval.
The original plans involved many
things from birth control to sluln
clearance and redivision of lands.
When the President visited the
islands in July, he indorsed them only
in principle. He heard many native
objections to the scope of the expert
ment. 1t was understood that the
intention was to take more time to
work out much of the social expert
mentation suggested.
Conditions on the island are de-
scribed as very serious, partly because
of inability to apply restrictive pro-
visions of the Jones-Costigan sugar
act.

A plan to salvage Puerto Rico. "for-

1t called originally for spending

such problems as overcrowding, hurri-
cane distress, unemployment, alb
sentee ownership and the peoples de-
pendency on one crop-sugar.

Tercentenary Endorsed.
On a formal motion by Mr.. En-
cry, the association went on record
"bespeaking the interest of all men,
bers in the tercentenary of Mary
land"
Success of the April musical meet
ing of the association reverberated
through the old hall last night, as
plans were announced for an CID
fashioned song festival sometime at
a future meeting date, and there was
discussion of the April dance, and
two repeat programs elsewhere.
Mr.. Duhamel said a committee con-
sisting of himself, Elra c., Palmer,
and j. Eliot Wright. recording secre-
tary of the association, had been set
up to arrange for an ''old-time song
program" They were prompted to
do this, he explained, because of
favorable comments on the singing
of "Old Kentucky Home" and other
songs at the April dance meeting, of
the association. A date for the
sing-fest will be announced later.
Mr.. Palmer told the association of
a large number of communications
he had received, not only from
Washington, but from other parts
of the country, concerning the dance
program of old-time music at the
April meeting, which had been broad
cast by Station WMAL. He and B.
F. McCaully, another member of the
association, had presented a similar
program at the first annual Wilson
Teachers College day, at Central
High School, April II, Mr. Palmer
said He had played his old violin,
which had been used in Ford'S The
ater the night President Lincoln was
aSsasSinated, and Mr.. McCaully
called the figures for the dances. 1t
was announced that they will appear
in similar roles Friday night at
Naval Lodge Hall, Pennsylvania
avenue and Fourth street southeast,
