UAFOLLETTE 1S INTEREST CENTER Washington Follows Wisconsin Semator's Race Washington, Sept. 5 UP—All state elections interest Washington but that which tested the strength of “Young Bob™ La Follette in Wiacon- sin yesterday somehow or other bad a,very definite appeal. The capital has become accustom- ed to having a La Follette around and while the news from Wisconsin bad indicated that such a condition would continue, it had heen engag- ing to speculate on how the youth- ful senator wovld come out in his first attempt to elect men he favor- ed to offices. There was a great ado when young La Follette came to the sen- ate after his father had been buried in Madison. In the first place he was a bachelor and from the social aspect that was very important. No matter what party happens to be currently ip power, & young unmar- ried senator is a most eligible per- son and no questiens are asked as to whether he be republican or dem- ocrat, conservative, radical, progres- slve or liberal, scaate Beside Itself But from purely political consid- erations, the senate was beside it- self with spcculations. Could this young strip of a fellow assume the burden that his father had carried for upwards of a quarter of a cen- tury? Amid such circumstances, young “Bob" came to Washington. As for the social business—that took care of itself, As for carrying forward his father's conception of progres- rive republicanism, within a fort- night of his taking the oath, he had attacked President Coolidge's stand on the ‘coal strike, had asked for a senate investigation of the coal op- erators and had declared that he would not relinquish his progressive |- principles as a consideration for committee posts. But the young senator had the news writers sending bulletins in earnest when he introduced his res- olution declaring the sense of the senate to be against a third term for presidents, That was before Presi- dent Coolidge made any declara- tion of his political 'intentions and the man who offered the third term resolution was bound to get on the front page. ‘Gallery Figure” From another viewpoint young “Bob” had his place in Washington because he was a “gallery figure;” that is to say, he was one of the few for whom visitors asked when they viewed the senate sessions from on high. Almost everyone wants to have Borah come out, and Johngon, Norris, Reed of Missourl, and Heflin, but it is unysual for a first termer to enjoy such distinc- tion. 80 when La Follette went back home this summer to fight for bal- lots in his home state, after a some- what spectaeuular appearance on the platfdrm at the Kansas City con- vention, the interest in him contin- ued. It was calculated that an out and out victory would give him con- siderable prestige in the senate for one of his years but that a bad beat- ing would put him on more of a Jevel with other nmewcomers at the north end of the capitol.

Stanley Welles charged with assault in connection with an alleged triangular love af- fair. Zrinscock is alleged to have assaulted Mrs. Annie Simichak at her home on Monday. Simichak was charged with assault and also drunkenness. Both men were ar- rested by Constables Benedict Pater- nostro and Robert Dessell. The case was prosecuted by Grand Juror Harold G. Lucas. Both men had been drinking all day according to their testimony and when B8imichak learned of the al- leged affair, he struck his wife sev- eral times.

Zrinscock was fined $25 and costs, a total of $43.36. The former promised to forgive his wife when questioned by Judge Welles and left the court room apparently reconciled.
