MILWAUKEE,. - The red-faced,
portly man angrily pulled the park

sign
The policeman had told him to
move the car. He had told the off,
Ger that he'd move 1t as soon as he
bought straw hat-after all, it was
straw hat day and the Governor OF
Wisconsin must be dressed in the
mode.
So Julius He'll waved the parking
ticket in the air and shouted to the
crowd which had gathered to insist
that the Governors car be tagged:
"I'm going to take this one to court"
The gubernatorial wrath was
aroused. This was the third parking
ticket on his famous seven-passen-
ger car in a month. Gov. He'll ex-
changed words with the bystanderS
and drove off in huff.
He's Angry, but He Pays.
He drove right up to the police
station-and paid a SITS fine.
To the people of Wisconsin this
was just another chapter in the
story y-book life of their Governor,
Julius. HE likes to be called by his
first nameD
His limousine, with its license plate
Of special bronze, decorated with a
star and inscribed with the magic
numeral l, is his Cinderella pump
kin coach.
Although he paid his fine, he did
follow up with letter of complaint
to Milwaukee's young Mayor, Carl
zeidler:
1T has gone so far that police
Officers have stopped me on the
streets and asked, Governor, won't
you please give me a chance to ar
rest you so that can get my name
In the papers?'
Nov, is the Office Of Governor
only to amuse the police depart
ment?"
One Wisconsin newspaper COM
mented:
"One continues to marvel at the
naivete Of Gov. He'll. He can't seem
to forget his early delusion that the
Governor of Wisconsin can do no
wrong, think no wrong or say no
wrong"
The story of Gov. Heil's life be-
gins on a "once upon a time" note.
He used to run around barefoot in
his fathers vineyards in Duesmond
an Der Mosel, in Germany when he
was boy.
Family Moves to America.
One day Julius and his papa and
the rest OF the family sailed to
America. They went to a hilly,
rolling farming section in a place
called Prospect Hill in the south
eastern section of Wisconsin.
There Julius went to the Mill
Valley one-room school and there
he picked potatoes for a penny a
bushel and carried maple sap on q
wooden yoke over his shoulder.
He swept out the store, cleaned
lamps and waited on trade for Mrs.
Ella Winton, the crossroads store
keeper and postmistress.
Julius grew up. He saved $500
and when he was % he set himself
up in business. Today, to cut the
story short, he is millionaire man.
ufacturer and now he is in his
second term as Governor.
AS Governor he gives away Wis
consin cheese and beer and bestows
titles OF honorary colonel on his
friends. He has named more than
ITO colonies since he became Gov
ernor.
Sends Roosevelt Beer, Cheese.
One of his pet projects is adver-
tising Wisconsin cheese. He boasts:
"They call me the cheese Governor
all over the country"
President Roosevelt. among others.
got a package of Wisconsin cheese
and case OF Milwaukee beer, paid
for and sent by Gov. He'll. The
accompanying letter read:
MY dear President:
NJ feel that vacation time is here
and sometimes you go into the
open spaces to gather in little of
the good oxygen and hydrogen from
the hills and dales and then when
lunch time comes around I would
like to have you be able to sit under
a nice tree with your family and
enjoy little of the cheese that
made Wisconsin famous and I am
also sending you with the package of
cheese a fine case of beer, the beer
that made Milwaukee famous, and
! hope you will enjoy little nip of
that while you are enjoying the
famous cheese with some Wisconsin
rye bread that you might have in
your picnic basket"
The Governor has developed a
homespun philosophy which he ex-
pounds freely, sometimes so freely
that it gets him into trouble.
He attended a world champion
ship featherweight bout in Mil
waukee just after he had signed a
bill legalizing 15-round prize fights
in the State.
Booed by Fight Fans.
Gov. He'll was introduced and the
crowd gave him a good-natured
booing.
He rose again.
'If I'd known you people were
going to boo me-" he protested in
all sincerity, II wouldn't have signed
this bill"
Gov. He'll drove out to the giant
Allis- Chalmers plant in suburban
West Allis and made a dramatic plea
for labor peace to crowd of C. I. o.
strikers who had tied up defense
contracts for 10 weeks.
The Governors talk was followed
by a riot in which 48 persons were
In iured In the melee the Gov
