A fleeting glimpse of the chief archi- fects of the State’'s political destinies ows the young Senator La Follette, | heir to his father's leadership, running | for re-election as the Re) lican nomi- nee on a platform that favors beer and | the McNary-Haugen bill, and saying | nothing about Smith or Hoover; La Fol- | men, nullifiers, | either BY FREDER! At the close of Jackson's seconq term the National Republicans were without a nationallyepopular character to enter the race egainst Van Buren. Henry lay had been twice defeated, the last overwhelmingly by Jackson with sition. while numerous, was not united It included the anti. ons, the ve high tariff men, the very low tariff the anti-Jacksonites, and others, but as a party the National of the forces opposed to the Demo- crats. The diverse elements of opposition finally decided to work on local pride with several candidates in various sec- tions and to attempt later to bring all of these elements together. up Daniel Webster in New England, trusting that he could carry that sec- tion. Then they put up William Henry Harrison and Justice John McLean of Ohio, trusting that they could hold the West out of the Van Buren column. Tennessee nominated Senator Hugh L. White, erstwhile the intimate friend of Jackson, but now a rank traitor, be- cause he would rot fall in with Jack son’s plans to have Van Buren su ceed to the Presidency. With South Carolina determined not to vote for | any candidate that had a ghost of a show, it was felt that the aggregate vote of the opposition might be enough to prevent the success of Van Buren. White Nominated Early. One of two things could happen— the anti-Van Buren electors Jette’s Democratic opponent withdraw- ing in his favor: his Republican col- | deague, Senator Blaine, refusing to sup- | port the party's presidential nominee; a | constituted Republican State organi- ( ption, headed by a gubernatorial nomi- | nee who won over La Follette opposi- | tlon, secking to rally the State's tre- mendous Republican majority under the | Hoover banner; a Democratic committee going what it can to promote the Re- g)lbhc:m split, and thus swing the State Smith. Both sides are predicting ¥ictory, but both are still hard at work “The materials at hand are of the most | waried character. Taken more or less| Bt random, they may be inventoried, in | gm. as follows: Wisconsin is a Repub- can State, which followed its favorite son, the elder La Follette, on his third party venture four years ago and gave the Democratic nominee in that elec- tlon but one-twelfth of its total popular wote. The count stood, La Follette, 453, B78; Coolidge, 311,614; Davis, 68,115. Visconsin Wet State. Wisconsin is a wet State, which two ztaxs ago indorsed 2.75 per cent beer ¥ a vote of two to one. Once the home of many breweries, it is described in the handbook of the Anti-Saloon League as having continued ‘“‘a center of anti-pro- tion agitation.” Wisconsin is the country’s leading dairy State and her farm problem often has been spoken of in terms of a pro- gec! tariff for dairy products. Wisconsin has a citizenship embrae- #ng a little more than the average per- centage of Catholics and far ebove the sverage percentage of German and Bcandinavian Lutherans, many of whom harbor a long-standing antago- toward Catholicism. visconsin is interested in immigra- ¥ virtue of her large foreign pop- and her Germans and Scandi- navians are being told by the Repub- licans that Gov. Smith’s immigration olicies would favor Southern Eurcpe. rge elements in the State are inter- ested in the St. Lawrence waterway fa- tion of water power sites, made a talking point by Smith. Political Upset. One of the striking political events in | e recent history of Northwestern poli- tics was the nomination of Walter J. ‘Kohler, a millionaire manufacturer, as Republican candidate for governor over ghe direct opposition of the La Follette Wing of the party. His advent to lead- ership was hailed by his friends as garking a Wisconsin political epoch. It was followed by refusal of the Re- Ebumm national committee-to seat a Follette follower, Herman L. Ekern, as national committeeman and recog- nition in his place of George Vits, for- er president of the Wisconsin Manu- acturers’ Association. To complete the | reconstitution of the party machinery ghe national organization has placed sctive management of the Hoover cam- hon, a Kohler backer, who sils as could all unite on one man, and th elect him; or, if that scheme failed. they could throw the election in the House and trust to God' for the rest Tennessee got into the game early nominating Senator White by a vo! that lacked but two of being unanimous. Jackson had some terrific against White printed in his organ. tre Washington Globe, and copies of these charges were franked to the members of the Tennessee Legislature, some of them addressed in Jackson's own hand- writing, but they had no effect. Ala- bama followed the lead of Tennessee, although its Legislature afierward re- scinded this action. ‘Tennessee having nominated White in January, 1835, Jackson was forced to get Van Buren in nomination nearly a year and a half ahead. of the election. | He suggested that a national convention be called to meet in Baltimore. In these days of precise representation the story of that convention makes one laugh. Of the 626 delegates, 181 were | from Maryland, 108 from Virginia, and 73 from New Jersey. The Maryland State convention, not wishing to dis- criminate, had decide delegates should take part in the na- | tional convention. | Thrown Into Senate.

One of the most important of these | groups is that of organized labor. Such | | great national organizations as the | + American Federation of Labor and the | | railroad brotherhoods have adopted a| | neutral attifude, leaving their member- | | hip to decide between Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith. But these or- { canizations frankly say that they are | ng the records of the candidates | bsfore their membership so_ that they may vote intelligently in so far as their ballots may affect labor. A few individual unions have indorsed the Democratic presidential candidate. { while several outstanding leeders in the labor movement, such as John L. Lewis, or ent of the United Mine Workers | | of America, and W. N. Doak, vice presi- | dent of the Brotherhond of Railroad Trainmen, are actively at work for the | Republican candidate. Organizations for Smith. State bodies, which have indorsed Gov. Smith, include the New York Fed- eration of Labor, which acted after William Green, president of the Ameri- | can Federation of Labor, had, without | committing himself, said some kind things about the Democratic nominee's labor record. Prior to that time, however, Green %24 been one of those in the national federa- tion’s executive council who oppased the | indorsement of any man's sandidacy by | | that hody. The council declined to! take any side aiter a two-day discus- sion, during which Daniel J. Tobin, pres- ident of the International Brotherhood | of Teamsters. was credited with leading | a fight for Smith. | Action Taken Four Years Agn. Four years ago the national federa- | | tion departed from its traditicnal non- partisan attitude by indorsing the in-| dependent candidacy of t! bert M. La Follette of a substantial popular vote in labor centers.

Federaticn Aims Outlined. ‘While maintaining a' hands-off policy | in the national campaign, the Ameri- can Federation of Labor is active in senatorial and congressional campaigns | and has indorsed and opposed a num- | ber of candidates in direct communica- tions sent to local labor organizations throughout the Nation. The attitude | {of organized labor in these contests is | { epitomized in the statement of John | F.

A. Johnsten, grand chief engineer | |of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, wrote that his organization | had taken no definite action with ref- erence o either presidential candi- date “other than to comment on the | epeeches end the statements made by both candidates as they affected organ- | ized lapor in general.” | Another Union Neutral. Fred. H. Fljozdal, grand president of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes, said that in accordance with the policy of neutrality adopted | v his organization, no public political neetings were being held nor was any | campaign literature being issued to the members of that brotherhood. He | added, however, that the union was giving the facts to its members through its megazine, regarding both candidates and the political parties | “as the facts are presented to us from | time to time.” | “We, along with the other standard | | railroad labor organizations, are taking | | no sides In the campaign,” wrote E.
