OSHKOSH, Wis., Aug. 13. —(By the Associated Press) —Restoration of the Repub- lican regime in Wisconsin politics and probable en- dorsement of a candidate for the seat of the late Senator Robert M. LaFollette were topics taken up to- day by the state convention of the Republican party. Outlining the 1926 state campaign and plans for relentless political war- fare on the pregressives in every de- partment of the state government, also were set for discussion. ‘Assemblyman George W. Blan- chard, of Edgerton, as permanent chairman, in his keynote speech call- ed on the rank and file of the Wis- consin Republican party to fall in with movement to wrest from what he called the “bureaucratic powers” of Madison, the reins of government and place them in the hands of those Who believe in the Republican plat- form. LENROOT CALLS FOR COOLIDGE SUPPORT. OSHKOSH, Wis., Aug. 13. —(By The Associated Press)—The voters of Wisconsin were appealed to today by Senator Lenroot of this state, to “see that no man hostile to President Coolidge “shall be sent by them to the United States senate. ‘Addressing a conference of Repub- licans gathered to select a candidate for the seat made vacant by the death of Senator LaFollette, Mr. Len- root assailed the leaders of the “'so- called progressive administration” of Wisconsin. as “radicals” and de- nounced their administration of Wis- consin affairs as a “dictatorship.” He also described the “progressive ad- ministration” as the triumyirate at Madison which determined who their followers shall vote for, adding that every “member of this triumvirate dja everything he could last year to destroy the Republican party.” “Common honesty and common de- eency,” he said, “would lead these gentlemen to keep off the Republi- can primary ballot, and if they wish to becorie candidates for office to do eo under the name of their own par- ty or in the independent column, “There is a clearly defined. issue between these radical leaders in Wis- consin and Republicans,” he contin- ued. “The former seek to divide our people into groups and classes, array ing group against group and class againgt class, ‘They increase the ex- pense’ of the state government for the purpose of building a political machine, and then try to appease the taxpayers by trying to make them believe that they increase only the taxes of the rich, In the national field they would destroy our constl- tution and make congress supreme (Continued on Page Three) BALL SCORES NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Must Be More Than Beautiful; Other Needs Given “I represent the people, the In dustry, the enterprise, the life of my state.’ Serious words, and they take on an added weight when spoken by some fine young Wyoming girl, on whose slim and inexperienced shoul- ders the responsibility of this posi- tion is to fall. Whether sho ex- presses it in just that way or not, that is the message that one Wyo- ming girl will carry to Tulsa this fall, when she goes as the official and duly accredited envoy from Wyoming to the International Petro. leum Exposition. There is nothing unusual about a beauty cnotest, as such. There is nething essentially unusual when a girl is chosen solely for a pretty face and figure, and represents her city in a parade before a group of judges. It is a pleasant tribute to her beauty, and nothing more.

But she is to be chosen according to the standard of the ideal American girl, who is not only a delight to the eye, but who possesses ‘the splendid character- isties of personality and charm, and the deep underlying seriousness from which her sterling qualities spring. ‘There will be representatives of great ofl producing nations at the Exposition. There will be governors of states; there will be men whose work has. been the very, backbone of the oil industry. Princess Wyo- ming will be received along with these. She will be honored as an envoy—and she will be expected to live up to her position. But the {deal American girl {s never all serious.

(By The Associated Press)—Mustapha Kemal Pasha, president of the Turk- ish republic, has divorced his wife, Latife Hanoum. An official statement says that the president having decided to separate from his wife, has issued a decree pronouncing a divorce effective from August 5. No reasons are given officially for the divorce, byt public rumor has been busy for some time concerning the domestic relations of the presi- dent. The divorce is attributed in some quarters to a tendency to mas- terfulness by Madame Latife, out- side her sphere. A serious disagreement became evident two weeks ago when Madame Latife left Angora hurriedly to re join her parents. All the commissars of the Turkish government were present to bid her adieu except the President, Mustapha Kemal Pasha was mar- rie@ January 29, 1923, to Latife Han- cum danehi pa of Mopsamerou. Chaki Bey, a wealthy mercharft of Smy- tna. The daughter is said to have brought him a dowry of one million Turkish lire. A few months later Madame Latife, known as a believer in women's rights, was proppsed as a deputy to the Turkish parliament from Constaninople by women of that city who were indignant over the unsuccessful proposal of the deputy Salih Effendi to make mar- riage obligatory. Mustapha Kemal has taken an ac tive interest in the imprevement of the conditions of Turkish women. On March 25, 1928, two months after his marriage, when a banquet was given for him at Konlah, he broke twe traditions by having women in- vited to the banquet with men. It was the first time the sexes had mingled at an official Turkish func: tion and also the first time that the Turkish government. had approyed women going outside their homes after sundown. The Turkish presi- dent also has advocated dress re- forms for Turkish women, favoring less conservative costumes. Madame Latife was 19 years old at the time of the marriage. When she accompanied Mustapha Kemal on his first offictal journey after the marriage she did not wear the customary Turkish vell but had a large brightly colored silken kerehiet round her hair and otherwise was dressed in European fashion. The marriage at Smyrna was in Turkish style. Kemal simply declar- ed: “I have decided to mary Latife Hanoum. Will you please accomplish the necessary ceremonies?” The Mufti then addressed the bride, say- ing: “Do you accept as husband Chasie Mustapha Kemal! Pasha in re- turn for a gift from him of ten drachmas of silver and on condition of a mutual indemnity as agreed up- on by you In the event of separa- tion?" Her affirmative reply con- cluded the céremony, The dowry of one million Turkish lire which’ Madame Latife brought her husband was worth approx! mately $650,000, OT TRAIL (S$ UPHELD a homesteader, affirming the in declaring that instead of 500 feet, were just and reasonable.
