La Follette, brother of Senator Robert M. La Follette, had a steadily widening lead for the nomination over Governor Walter J.

Allen, who did not campaign but stood on his record as governor, was renominated by an overwhelm- ing majority over former Mayor John D. Devir of Malden, who like- e did not campaign actively. Devir did not make an issue of pro- hibition but announced himself as a candidate representing the common people. Ely's nomination was conceded by his opponents, John J. Cummings of Boston, and John I. Titzgerald, a former Boston mayor, long before the tabulation of the vote had near- | ed completion. Fitzgerald actually had withdrawn from the contest be- se of ill health but there re- mained insufficient time to remove his name from the ballot. Mayor { James M.

John J. Raskob, chairman of the democratic national commit- tee, was among the spectators at the convention. The democratic platform advo- cates the repeal of the 18th amend- ment and the Volstead law and asks of liquor. This plan, proposed by Mr. Bayard, was adopted with but tew dissenting votes. the repeal of the Klair law, state prohibition enforcement the act, would permit physicians to prescribe liquor for medical purpose. Tt op- poses the return of the saloon in any form. Appeals for Loyalty After Bayard's nomination, Marvel |made an appeal to the convention for party loyalty. “This is the first time my name has heen before you | for public office,” he said. “Inas- much as time takes its toll 6f men, |1t 1s quite likely that my name never ‘“m be presented to you again.

They said that it later returns do not change the results, “Wisconsin is suffering a greater foss than the voters now realize.” At Kohler ' headquarters here, party leaders attributed the probable defeat of Kohler to a “burden of carrying Hoover.” La Follette, whose father founded the ‘progressive wing of the republic- an party. stressed the “full dinner pail” issue throughout his intense campaigh and accused the national administration of responsibimy for depression. Prohibition Not Issue’ Prohibition was not an issue as both candidates had announced in favor of changing the dry laws. | The probable defent of Gov. Kohler was a surprise and a shock to his followerss The governor left | his manufacturing business at Koh- | ler two years ago to enter politics | | when he was drafted for the regu- ar republican ticket.

His followers be- | lieved his popularity had grown | during his two years in office. | Sheboygan county, where Kohler | was acquitted last spring of violating | the state’s corrupt practices act by | | excessive expenditufts during his | 1928 campaign, proved loyal to its | home capdidate by giving him an early lead of 1,500 votes over La Foltette. The younger son of the famous “Fighting Bob” and brother of the | present Sen. Robert M. La Follette, Jr., played a prominent part in the Kohler trial although it was not a courtroom part. | Early returns showed other | progressive candidates holding slight margins over the regular re- publican ticket which was headed by Kohler. Personalities Used Albany, N. Y., Sept. 17 (P —Per- sonalities and party organization backing counted more, apparently, in yesterday’s primary election than the attitude of the various candidates toward the wet and dry controversy. Democratic aspirants for congres- sional and legislative nominations were not embarrassed by the prohi- | bition question, as all of them were | wet. On the republican side, however, | prohibition was an issue in the ante- primary campaigns; but the results of the balloting indicated that the electorate generally supported can- | didates backed by the party organi- | zation of those who were secking re- nomination, regardless of their'atti- tude toward prohibition. | An exception was noted in the 40th | | congressional district, where Repre- | | sentative 8.

Tolley also maintained that Clarke had failed to live up to a promise to retire from congress at the expiration of his term in consideration of Tolley with- |drawing from a primary fight against him two years ago. Charles D. Millard, a politi¢al ward of the veteran Westchester county leader, William L. Ward, won a tri« angular contest for republican nom- ination in the 25th district. Millard was in the unusudl position of being considered tqQo wet by one opponent and too dry by the other. ICE BOX BANDITS GET PRISON TERMS.
