o run for governor. He refused at first even to consider such a step pleading that his manufacturing business consumed all his energy and working hours. But finally he was persuaded.
 Political Fight
 The result was a campaign which marked the first major defeat of the progressive wing of the Republican Party in the state since Bob" La Toilette senior had smashed the "stalwarts' g years before. It re- suited too in long, bitter court fight.
 Wisconsin a d been controlled politically for many years by the progressives The first deep rift in their lute came when Fred R. Zim- merman. incumbent governor in 1928, had split with some of the factions leaders. The latter. in fact, accused Governor Zimmerman of having turned conservative.
 So when Governor Zimmerman announced himself a candidate for the primary, Representative Joseph D. Beck was put forward by the La Toilette partisans. This made three -cornered race from which MT. Kohler emerged triumphant
 The progressives then tried to keep his name off the official ballot, al leging that his primary campaign had cost $100,000 whereas the state law limited such expenditures to s4,000. A John Doe investigation was instituted, but the state Su- preme Court found for the manu- facturer by holding that the cleo torate had ample recourse at the polls. Kohler at the election, boiled total vote of 547,000, his margin over his closest opponent being 153.- 900.
 Inaugurated Governor
 On January T. 1929, he was in- augurated as the twenty sixth gov eronor of Wisconsin. But his troubles with the progressives growing out of the charges of campaign extravag ances had only begun. The new at- torney general was progressive and earlys in his term he authorized special counsel to start outer pro- ceedings against the new governor.
 Attorneys for Governor Kohler did not want to fight the case in Madi- son, so they obtained a change of venue to his home county in She boygan. There were months of delay before the case came to trial, and the proceedings themselves lasted a full month, but finally jury ac- quilted the governor who was at once unanimously endorsed by the Republican State Convention for re- nomination.
 Aviation Enthusiast His enthusiasm for aviation dated from his first airplane ride in 1924 when he was taken up over She boygan by Anton F. Brotz, one of his employees. His next flight was from London to Paris while he was on European business trip. In the. spring of 1927 MT. Kohler constructed small, but well-equip- ped airport at the model village of Kohler and shortly thereafter bought for himself a plane of the same model as was used by Col Lindbergh to fly from New York to Paris.
 MT. Kohler was always content to

A song plugger's dream Of heav- en is a major plug" A major plug means having your song played by a dance orchestra be- tween 5 o'clock in the afternoon and 1 o'clock in the morning over either NEG or CBS.
 Let's say you work for a firm that has published song called How Were Your Dreams Last Night?" Of course there isn't any song by that name. This is just to illustrate point.
 The more times you get that song played over the two major broadcasting companies, the more money you make. Either of these networks hits an audience of mll- lions. When a million people lis ten to song, some of them are going to buy it. The more times it is played, or plugged 7 the higher the sales charts climb.
 So, every night around dinner time the song pluggers move in on the hotel dining rooms where the big dance bands play. Usually they are alone. They come in and sit down and kill lot of time over dinner, checking up on their own numbers, checking up on the op- position.

That's what Bob Stone is doing right now. He is checking up. He is sitting so close to the orchestra stand that he could reach out ana pull Blue Barron's leg. MT Barron is the orchestra leader. Stone rep resents the Sam Fox publishing firm, and the song he is working on is "Tumbling Tumble Weeds"
 Four or five tables away are Mack Goldman, of the Harms company and Norm Foley. who represents Witmark Goldman is interested in Tn A Little Dutch Garden" Foley wants to hear Make Love With a Guitar"
 Finally, there is Eddy Wolpin. MT. Wolpin is Chappell man. and he has couple of winners just now. When he hears the or chestra play All The Things You Are" it makes him very happy When he hears Do I Love You that makes nm happy too. II ne can remain onably happy throughout most of the week, his company will prosper, and indirect ly he will too.
 This may not seem fair to you, but money behind song will make it just as quickly as talent. If you have number that is a beauty and another only half as pretty, the proper exploitation will make a hit of the mediocre song while the really beautiful one dies.
