LAFOLLETTE GRIP N lwmcuwsm 5 T BROKEN. 15 CLAIM; - OTTOST | MADISON, Wis. —(UP)—Con flicting interpretations of Tues day’s primary are made by the Teaders of the Conservative Repub lican group and of the Republican Progressives, led by Senator Rob ert M. LaFollette. Conservatives cited the victory of Walter' J. Kohler, anti-Lafol lette candidate, over Joseph D. Beck, who was supported by the LaFollette progressives, in the gu bernatorial campaign as indica tion that the progressive regime in Wisconsin was at an end. The progressives, on the other haly', based claims to success on the re-nomination practically of the entire state list of candidates who received the LaFollette sup port, It was pointed out that during “Fighting Bo»” LaFollette’s long tenure of Wisconsin political lead ership he never had carried a com plete ticket to victory and that Koeh'er's victory was aided by the split of the pragressive vote be tween Beck and Zimmerman, who commanded part of the progres sive’ support desoite his political disagreement with young LaFol lette, With only 103 of the 2.760 pre cincts yet to be revorted Kohler held a 'ead of 21,451 votes over Beck, who haa 197.952 votes. Zim merman ran third with 82917 votes. Senator LaFollette’s major ity over George W. Mead, conser vative, was approximately two to one. LaFollette’'s candidates made avproximately a clean sweep in the race for renomination to con oress, In the seventh district, Merli Hull, conservative anparent lv had defeated Gardner Withdrow for the nomination to succeed Jos enh D. Beck. Conservatives claim that the election of Kohler, mil- Jionaire manufacturer in Novem her would mark the end of the LaFollette administration of the governor's office, broken only onee since the late Robert M.
