LA FOLLETTE FOES SET FOR PRIMARY Balloting Tuesday to Deter- mine Party Choices for Governorship. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, September 12— Brisk battles for a chance to unseat Gov. Phillip La Follette in the No- vember election were waged by Demo- eratic and Republican aspirants ' to the governorship today as Wisconsin’s primary campaigns moved into the home stretch. La Follette—who led the insurgent faction out of the Republican ranks in 1934, built it into the Progressive party and was subsequently elected under its banner—will be unopposed on the Progressive ballot in next Tues- day’s voting. But two of the contenders for the gubernatorial nomination of the rival parties centered most of their fire on La Follette. Chief interest was at- tracted to those contests. Wiley Is G. O. P. Candidate. Alexander Wiley, Chippewa Falls Tawyer, is the Republican candidate bearing the indorsement of the party's State convention. His opponent is John B. Chapple, Ashland editor, twice defeated in bids for a United States Senate seat. The Democratic convention in- dorsed Arthur W. Lueck, Beaver Dam attorney. State Senator William D. Carroll of Prairie Du Chien, who headed the Republican-Democratic coalition which fought La Follette measures in the 1935 Legislature, is; running against Lueck. Wiley and Lueck are newcomers to Btate politics. Chapple and Carroll have directed their attacks at La Follette rather than their primary opponents. | Assails “Little New Deal.” ‘Wiley assailed President Roosevelt's administration and denounced what he terms “the little new deal at Madison.” Lueck described himself as “the only candidate for Governor of this State on any ticket who is supporting President Roosevelt for re- election.” When the Progressives were a Re- publican faction the primary was ‘Wisconsin's big election. The con- servatives and liberals fought it out for the nomination, usually tanta- mount to election. But the Roosevelt landslide, increasing Democratic activ- ity, and the formation of the third party have apparently changed the political picture. This was indicated in La'Follette's fecent announcement he would start on an extended speaking tour two days after the primary.

Pendergast, Kansas City Demo- cratic leader, arrived here in a spe- cial hospital car last night and was immediately transferred to Menorah Hospital.

Sophian, personal phy- eician for the Missouri political boss, #ald his patient had stood the trip “remarkably well.” Whether Pendergast will undergo another operation depends on his progress in the next few days, the physician indicated.

Brown " (Continued From Pirst Page) role one year or 18 months’ service is not sufficient to teach the young con- scripts the art of warfare, Training Too Intensive. “If we had not put soldiers in our new barracks,” said a& high ranking officer, “we would have had to make them into insane asylums and fill them with officers. Our field officers were beginning to break down under the strain. You simply cannot teach men these days the intricacies of the modern weapons in one year. The men are overworked and learn noth- ing and the officers undergo such a nervous strain that they are no good for anything.” 12 Months More Needed. But, none the less, the new law which was promulgated immediately after Germany agreed to place an embargo on arms exports to the Spanish rebels does give Germany in peace time something like 100 divi- sions at about 13,500 men each. To make them ready for war it will take the German general staff at least another 12 months. The present force of Germany is more than ample to defend the borders of the country against an attack of any possible combination of powers, but it is not quite sufficient for offensive purposes. The aviation arm, which is said to be between 2,500 to 5,000 machines strong, is the great enigma which every military attache would like to solve. It is known that the German planes are not perfect. There have been many accidents and hundreds of pilots have been killed—nobody got excited about it; it’s all in the game— because the construction of the ma- chines was too hasty and the motors not perfect. The Germans are still purchasing motors in Great Britain and the United States and it is said that in the last few months things have improved substantially and every=- thing will run smoothly henceforth. The young officers, pilots and squad- ron leaders are good, but there still is a great deficiency in the higher ranks —in the staff. Naval Progress Slow. The progress of the navy has been particularly -slow. Destroyers launched some three months ago are still tied to the wharfs at Kiel waiting for the engines. It is true that the German units are going to revolutionize naval construction. For years German en- gineers have been working at new types of ships and new engines. The world will be surprised when the latest German warships are ready, but the German naval department does not seem to be in a hurry. The present navy is sufficient to deal with whatever naval forces the Soviets may have. And for any other eventuality, the navy department is in no hurry. It is proceeding methodically. Hitler believes that it is a matter of political prophylaxis to destroy the Moscow regime. He is fanatic on the subject and no power in the world can induce him to change his mind. The generals agree with him on this subject, for different reasons. The mentality of the German offi- cers has not changed since 1914. The last war was merely a lesson in strat- egy for them. Studept Wilhelm made mistakes in his homework. His suc- cessors have taken up the same home- work, looked over the corrections in red ink which the allied powers have made on the thesis, and, having no- ticed the errors, are now taking up the same subject, but will avoid mak- ing the same mistakes. One of the fundamental mistakes which Student ‘Wilhelm made, they say, was to rush headlong into a war without having properly prepared for it. The new men of Germany realize that in order to be successful they must defeat their opponents plecemeal, The first op- HAHN e For the Convenience of Customers Modernized 7th & K Street Store Will Be Open From 9 a.m? to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.

If one could safely estimate by per- centage the feeling of & nation toward another, one could say that 95 per cent of the German people are in favor of fighting the Russians. ‘The preparatory work is done right | now. The newspapers daily are print- ing scare headlines about the aggres- sive preparations of the Soviets against Germany. The ,Soviet air force grows by leaps and bounds. When I first arrived in Berlin the newspapers printed reports that the Russians had about 6,000 airplanes. ‘The day before I left, that number had increased to a producing capacity of 5,000 planes a month. Dr. Goeb- bels, Hitler's propaganda minister, has his radio henchmen tell the people | of Germany about the millions of sol- | diers the Russians are going to have | forthwith; the number of airplanes described in those radio news items has reached fantastic proportions. Although many people may discount these reports, there seems to be a con- viction among the Germans that the sooner the score with Russia is scttled the better it will be. The tension is so | great that frequently, especially ln; | the East Prussian towns, there is a panic when the whirr of an airplane | is heard. The population has been told so fre- quently that the next war will start | without a formal declaration by massed air attack, that every time | German military planes fly over cities without previous warnings the popu- lation takes to the cellars until reas- sured tiese are their own machines. Frank About Intentions. Hitler is frank about his intentions | to fignt Russia. He does not conceal his thoughts even from foreign diplo- mats, to whom he condescends to ex- plain that Germany"s march toward the East, which was interrupted scme 600 years ago, must, and will be, re- sumed under his regime. Yo the mys- tical Reichsfuehrer a war against| Russia means the fulfiliment of Ger- | many’s role as tne power which saved Europe and the world from Commu- nist infection. To his practical gen- | erals it means the creation cf another | period ot internal cisturbances and possible revolutions in Russia, the| temporary creatlon of a number of | separate states and, chiefly, the dis- posal of the greatest potential enemy which may prevent the establishment of German hegemony over Euprope. ‘The man in the street, who will pay in the end for the broken pots, would prefer to fight the Bolsheviks (since he !is sure that he must fight somebody) because he imagines that a war against the Russians will be shorter and eas- fer.

NEW YORK, September 12.—Rev. Charles E. Coughlin turned to a re- sumption of his national broadcasts today, after asking a New York throng not to be satisfied with what he termed an insulting New Deal “hand- out.” Speaking last night at Ebbets Field, the Detroit priest appealed for the payment of “a living annual wage” by the mass production industries, to consist of “an $1,800 minimum for a farmer who Pl i has a wife and “We have won the war over want* he said. “The problem of production has been solved. What a crime that there still exists want in the midst of plenty.” Aided by modern machinery, he said, present-day workers produce 100 fimes as much as their ancestors in a given period of time, “yet you are told by this stupid, pagan sysiem of economics that you must be paid by the hour and not by what you pro- duce.” .
