News Review of Current Events the World Over Wisconsin Republicans Deal Blow to the La Follette Regime?Farmers' Strike Takes New Turn? Germany Out of Disarmament Parley. By EDWARD W. PICKARD IN ONE of the most hotly contested primaries that Wisconsin ever has had, the conservative Itepublicans dealt the I-a Follette dynasty a severe blow. Philip I .a Pol let tc. brother of the senator, was a candi date for renomlnatlon as governor, but was soundly beaten by Walter J. Kohler, former governor, whom I-a Follette de feated two years ago. Many of the counties Philip carried then turned him down this W. J. Kohler time, and he ran be hind In both agricul tural and industrial sections of the ?tate. Emphasizing their change of heart, the Uepublican electors also voted for the retirement of United States Sen ator John J. Blaine, one of the staunchest of the "progressives" In the upper house. He was beaten by John B. Chappie, a young editor of Ashland who made a fierce campaign. Incomplete returns Indicated the en tire conservative state ticket had been carried to victory by Kohler and Chappie, Kohler, a wealthy manufacturer whose home and large factories are in a village that bears his name, nev er held public office until he was elected governor In 1928. His sup porters this year were known as "hatchet men" for their slogan was "Cut Costs With Kohler," and the high cost of state government and high taxes were the Issues emphasized. Kohler called for a $10,000,000 re duction In taxes, and set forth as his doctrine that factories mean Jobs, and that to build up private incomes by keeping the taxing system from chas ing industries out of the state is more fundamental than to Increase Income taxes. These arguments proved espe cially effective with the factory voters in Milwaukee county, Bacine and other industrial regions. This was the first time that a La Follette had been voted down since 1802, when the late Senator Robert M. La Follette was beaten In a congressional nice. An interesting feature of this year's campaign was the presence of Rurton I\. Wheeler, Democratic senator from Mon tana. who made speeches trying to persuade the Demo crars or Wisconsin to j. b. cnappie go Info the Repub lican primary and vote for Blaine and La Follette. The state Democratic leaders hotly resented Wheeler's ac tion and evidently it had little If any effect. Kohlers majority was in the neigh borhood of 100.000. Chappie had a smaller majority?about 20.0110?for the vote for Blaine was heavy In the Industrial centers. The Democrats at this writing ap pear to have nominated Mayor A. O. Schmedemnn of Madison for governor over Leo P. Fox and William R. Ru bin. For senator F. Ryan Duffy of Fond dti Ijic was unnp|?of?ed. Rkpcbijcan national chair man Kverett Sanders announced that President Hoover's first campaign speech would he made In Des Moines. Iowa, on October 4. He will make no addresses on the Journey from Wash ington and back. In the heart of the agricultural region, where the farm ers have been on strike against low prices. Mr. Hoover Intends to expatiate on his program for relief of the farm er In reply to the recent address by his rival. Franklin D. Roosevelt The speech In Dos Moines will be broad cast over at nationwide radio hookup. T.'iosf farmers of the Middle West have entered on a new phase of their ??holiday" strike which promises to be more effective than the move ment that aimed to keep all farm pro duce from the cities and was marred by frefpient violent deeds. The plan now evolved by their lesiders contem plates the withholding from market of all grain and other nnn perishable products, but the farmers are forbid den to picket the highways or block them in any way. Nearly two mil lion farmers were asked to Join In this Donsclling movement. Agriculturists In Minnesota. North Dakota, Oklahoma. Nebraska and Ioxra, the "strike" leaders said, had given assurances they would partici pate. They added that farmers in Ohio, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Kan sas and Illinois had "shown Interest" in the movement. WHEN the disarmament confer ence resumed Its sittings In Geneva the Germans were not In ofll clal attendance because their demand ror equality or arma ment liad been reject ed by France. But they found they were facing also the united opposition of Great Britain and the United States, If not other of the great powers. The British foreign office memorandum said the German de rnand was at least un M. Herriot timely, since "atten tion and energy should be directed to economic rehabilitation of the world," and that anyhow Ger many was not entitled to abrogate the part of the treaty of Versailles that limits her armament even If the other nations should fall to disarm or re duce their armaments. This view of the question apparent ly was pleasing to the United States government, and Ambassador Walter E. Edge and Senator David A. Heed of Pennsylvania, at a luncheon given by M. Herriot in Paris, told the pre mier that was the view of the Ameri can people. Their government, they said, stands for progressive disarma ment and the sanctity of treaties. M. Herriot laid before the foreign alTairs commission of the chamber hf deputies a full statement of his pol icy in this matter and defended it earnestly. He gave the commission certain details which had come Into bis possession regarding the alleged Illicit manufacture of arms In Germany. The German press Insisted that their government must not weaken, as sertlng that Great Britain had de ceived Germany and that the British note treated Germany In Intolerable fashion. Some papers declared Ger many must withdraw from the League of Nations. MAHATMA GANDHI, after a hearty meal of fruit and milk, began his protest fast, which he said he would keep up until he died of starvation unless me British government altered the terms of its settlement of the communal elections problem. The roahat ma was still in Yer avda Jail at Pooon. The government said he was free to leave the prison, but he re fused to go out of his roll unless ho worn forcibly removed. Gandhi So many friends and well wishers called at the Jail that the aged lender was made ill from excitement, and thereafter visi tors were excluded for the present. Ue received hundreds of telegrams and letters begging him not to under take the death fast. To correspond ents the mahatma said he counted his life as of no consequence, adding: T*l.iko the prophet of Islam and like -lesus. 1, on a humbler scale, have un dertaken a tussle for justice, as in.v fast continues my human cry will rise to the heavens of God Almighty. "My fast is not for sympathy. Aft er the Hrst few days the desire for food will vanish and I shall begin to brood. All my Interest will be with drawn from externals, and I shall be come one wltb 'the cause.' "Be assured, however, thai I shall make a superhuman effort to retain my grip on life. I am anxious as any body to continue to lire. There is nothing like water for prolonging life and I shall partake of It whenever I require it, and hope to carry on until the Hindu conscience awakens.'* SEVERAL Important meetings were held In Washington during the week, among them being those of the National Municipal league and Ihe national conference on government. Addressing the former. Silas 11. Strawn, former chairman of the United States Chamber of Commerce, declared that taxes must be reduced because the nation has reached the end of Its financial rope. In the sixteen years from 1913 to 1929, he said, the cost of all government Increased by goo per cent, while at the same time the national tncome had Increased by only i 14S per cent. In 1030. he said. In i come taxes amounted to $2,411,000,000; | to 1031 they dropped to $1,800,000,000; I and In 1032 they bit a new low of $1. 1 057,000,000. Commenting on the "soak the rich" | policy noted in congress at the last session Mr. Strawn declared It "hope lessly fallacious" anil lhat there are few rich left to "soak" and because those who still retain a part of their fortunes will Invest In tax exempt securities thereby defeating the very purpose of tax legislation aimed at the wealthy class. To the conference on government Gordon L. Hostetter, director of the Chicago Employers' association, said that the racket, originally thought of as a temporary form of graft or extor tion, has grown through alliances of business groups, union heads, politi cians, and criminals until it annually costs the nation an "incalculable sum." In Chicago alone, said Mr. Hostetter. racketeering costs more than $14T?,00U. 000 a year. Add to this the amount spent by the city to den! with rack eteering. he said, and the total cost of Chicago's rackets equals the annual cost of the municipal government SENATOR JAMES J. DAVIS of Pennsylvania went on trial in New York on two federal indictments charg ing conspiracy, the prosecution alleg ins ne was responsi ble for two lotteries totaling $3,000,000 con ducted by the Loyal Order of Moose, of which the senator is the director general. It was charged that Davis personally prof ited from these lotter ies, which were osten sibly for charitable iiiirruiacs AKRiKtiint Sen. Davit United States Attor- | ney Treadwell told the Jury that checks totaling $172, 300 from the proceeds of the drives went to pay off a note which was Mr. Davis- personal obligation, to his per sonal checking account, to a corpora tion controlled hy him, and to an ac count from which he drew the profits of the organization department of the Moose. Jn 1931 the lottery was more dis creetly bandied, Mr. Treadwell con tipued, and the drawing took place on the steamship Prlscllla. outside the twelve mile limit, after which all rec ords were thrown overboard. Counsel for the defense contended all the transactions were Innocent Early government witnesses In cluded various officials of the Moose called to prove the domination of | Davis in the order and the claim that i he was cognizant of everything that | was done In connection with Its finances.

CHILDREN'S STORY ?By THORNTON W. BURGESS JOLLY, round, red Mr. Sun was Just going to bed behind the Pur pie Hills as Peter Itubblt stole Into the Old Orchard. It was Just that beautiful hour between daytime and nighttime when the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest who have been busy all day are beginning to get drowsy and are thinking of going to bed, while those who have been sleeping all day are getting sleep.v-wlnks out of their eyes and are thinking about tilling empty stomachs. The Old Orchard always Is very pleasant at this hour. Peter likes to steal up there and sit for a while near Johnny Chuck's door step to clmt with Johnny Chuck while they watch the first of the Black Shad ows steal among the trees and listen to the good-night twitters of the feath ered folk and the beautiful evening song of Brownie the Thrush. "Chltter chltter-chltter-clilt! Chltter chltter chltter chit! Chit. chit. chit, chit!" Peter put his head hark to look up. Over the tops of the trees raced a black form, this way. that way. turning, wheeling and then with rapid wing beats racing straight ahead, all the time shouting Joyous ly. It was a bird, of course Flitter the Bat Is the only animal who can fly, and he cannot lly anything like the darting little black form I'eter was watching. It was Sooty the Swift "Sooty gets more fun out of flying than anybody I know of." declared Peter. "Just listen to him I lie shouts Just for pure Joy of using those queer little wings. I know how he feels. I(e feels Just as I do when I race around and kick up my heels Just for pure Joy In being alive. Sometimes I wish I could shout then, but you know I can't, because I haven't any voice for shouting. Just listen to Sooty! He Isn't much to look at, but he seems to have more fun than any bird I know of unless It Is 8klmmer the Swallow, and then after all. Sooty Is a swallow him self." "Huh!" It was Johnny Chuck. "Huh r exclaimed Johnny again. Peter turned to look at Johnny and was puxxled at the look of disgust on Johnny's face. "Huh!" exclaimed Johnny Chuck once more. "For a fel low who goes about as much as you do and pokes his nose Into other peo ple's affairs as much as you do. Peter Rabbit, you know mlgbt.v little about your neighbors. Whoever told you that Sooty is a swallow?" -Why?why?why. I don't know that any one did," replied Peter slowly, looking more purxled than ever. "I didn't have to be told. Any one can see that be is a swallow Just to look at him." ? , "Huh!" Johnny Chuck seemed very fond of thnt exclamation. "I sup pose any one can make themselves see what they want to see If they don't use their brains enough to find out other things. Sooty Isn't a swal low, and never will he a swallow. He belongs to another family altogether. He's a swift. That's what he Is?a swift." Peter didn't know Just what to say. Johnny Chuck spoke as if he knew exactly what he was talking about, and Peter had to admit to himself that he really didn't know a thing about Sooty. "Chitterchltter chitter chit-chit!" Once more Sooty raced high overhead shouting Joyously. "He looks like a swallow anyway," declared Peter, "but If you say he Isn't one I suppose he Isn't. If he is a swift he Is well named, for he cer tainly Is swlft enough In the air. 1 guess I don't know much about hlrn." 'T guess Jbu don't," declared Johnny Chuck, If you call him a swal low. The trouble with a lot of peo ple Is that they don't know anything about their neighbors and Just guess at things. You've known Sooty by sight a long time, haven't yon?" "Ever since 1 can remember," re plied Peter. "Summer wouldn't be summer without Sooty cutting up and racing nround up In the air. But I've , never seen hlrn close to, or sitting still, and I've never thought much about him. He never before seemed to me very Interesting." "Huh!" exclaimed Johnny Chuck. Everybody is interesting If you take the trouble to get acquainted." (?. 193S.bjrT.W- Burjrjg.) ?
