Juneau Soap Box Derby
 Winner Doing His Part
 0nFood Storage Problem
BY DON sKUsE

CHICAGO, Aug. 13-Leo and l did not make the milage driving today for we found country that appealed to us, and as we were a little ahead of our schedule, we decided to take the day looking over this beautiful section of Wis consin and Minnesota.
 The weather has been much cooler today than lately, much to Leos delight. We visited Eau Galle on the Chippewa River as well as Eau Claire and the famous lakes and resorts that abound in this dis trict. Leo was constantly asked to roca for his picture and has al- ready built up quite a fan backing for the race.
 Everywhere we go we see evil dence of bumper crops and Leo is doing his share to take care of the food storage problem. The fresh corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, to say nothing of the melons and fruit that Leo is keeping from spelling is amazing. He is in very good trim right now for the race. though at times I fear he might be over Going it. The dry heat here is tcund to dry out his car, so I am sure that he has the right lead in trying to compensate for it.
 We are stopping for the night at Rochester. Minnesota, the home of the Mayo Clinic, at a little cottage by 9 lake.

LAF0LLETE I5 UNSEATED IN
 cop PRIMARY
Party Backed K Marine Topples Veteran Pro-
 gressive Senator
(By The Associated Press)


 Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, whom Wisconsin voters sent to the U. s Senate for 21 straight years, con- ceded defeat today in his effort for another six-year term, as a Re- publican.
 Joseph R. Mccarthy, 37-year-olc ex-Marine, toppled LaFollette or nearly complete returns from yes terdays Republican primary cleo tion
 Returns from 3,O85 precincts out of the states 3,146 gave Mccarthy 203,840 to LaFollette's 197,146, a lead of 6,694. Perry Stearns was third with 29,132.
 40 Years of LaF0llettes
 The outcome means that for the first time in more than 40 years the State. will not be represented in the Senate by a LaFollette father or son.
 LaFollette had turned to the Re- publican party for nomination to succeed himself, after 12 years un- der the Progressive Party banner However, the Republican state organization threw its support to Mccarthy, former gunner of 8 Marine dive bomber squadron. Mo Carthy was elected Circuit Judge at 30 to become the youngest per son ever chosen for such a post in Wisconsin.
 The Republican Senatorial nom- inee will be opposed in November by Howard J. McMurray, who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
 Governor Beats Party
 Wisconsin's 83-year-old Governor Walter s. Goodland, like LaFol- lette, ran against the opposition of the State party organization However, Goodland ran far ahead of his two opponents for Republi- can renomination.
 Goodland will be opposed in No vember by Daniel w. Hoan, form CT Socialist Mayor of Milwaukee Hoan rolled to an easy victory in his race for the Democratic nom- ination for Governor.
 LaFolle,te, whose Progressive party organization voted to dis solve year ago last March, had staked his prestige on the out come of the primary. He said he would not run as an Independent if he failed to receive the nom- ination.
 Stands On Record
 Mccarthy called him an isola- tionist. and challenged him to de- bate the issue. but the Senator said he would stand on his record In addition to seeking the custer of LaFollette, the State Republican organization had picked Delbert J

women in the world. She told how
the question of polygamy had en-

study revealed that a great part of
the world still practiced polygamy
and that the equal rights for

of opposition in countries where
polygamy was still legal.
In most Latin American countries
women do not enjoy equal rights
