BY FRAZIER HUNT opyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) " Glenn Frank and I rode back to ‘gether to Madison from the Lions ‘@lub supper and meeting at Wal % porth, Wisconsin, just north of the Hlinois line. More than 400 men from all gver the county had gath @red there to hear this unusual president of their state | university e O dscture on “So- Vfl“ ! Changes E’;éwmw Ahead.” Vil v v W hile Frank %7 ?,'f??f??iff3'--"‘*’*" had talked I wat- Sk @hed the faces of GEERYY #Apy " gnce. 1 chal- B (R dpnge New York «/z Qity or Chicago § W’ gr San Francisco ngg@, or any other Am- A§ g grican city tofgasn ? }y‘a firing together a 4 wfi% Pl more intelligent, [\ % E3E ghrewd, lev el B3R AT Headed bunch of ; / Mien than these Frazier Hunt Wisconsin farm ers and small town business and ofessional men. If we had twen million more like them our wor gies would be over. sln the car my host lit a cigar and let his capable and agile mind wander. “Coming out of Chicago #he other day I had a long talk With a brakeman,” Glenn Frank ®emarked. “Maybe I don’t know #uch about it, the old fellow said, Put 1 figure we had just three shings we could do with our un @mployed-—shoot 'em, feed® 'em or put 'em to work. The ones we fed Mrst we'll have a hard time puttin’ $ work now-—but maybe we can do it” ‘% Frank chuckled, and ‘before he Switched moods 1 told him that I'd % en hearing him mentioned as a 1 ossible Republican nominee. '§ “A baseball player doesn’t mind #aking a sacrifice hit if he can Bring a man in or even advance Bim a base” he said dryly. Then Be added: “But no one wants to gacrifice unless he can help him- If or someone elge on his team & . . Nice weather we're having.’ &'m not much at mind reading gt 1 took it that Dr. Frank felt jat any nice young man who car jed the Republican banner next would be walking straight to Roosevelt’'s guns, Amoition STARTING FRIDAY, 9 A.M.

Grey is| !(-reeping into his mat of hair, and| | this brilliant young crusader ""E | longer is so certain of all the ans-| | wers as he was when I had last| | talked with him a couple of years | t before, ! ) “Roosevelt has built up a great:‘ .[army but many of his generals are| g digloyal,” Phil sald. “He'd be bet-| .| ter off with a smaller but more in-| e‘spired fighting army.” ‘ | 1 gathered that the LaFolette| -|would be too busy with their own 1! knitting to help lead a real third ipa.rty at this time, In guerilla ' | warfare the successful leader cuts |in and retreats but never tries a major campaign. These able and !sincare sons had seen their own | father lead a gallant but forlorn; | third party struggle that cost him 'defeat and his life. In the tough gchool of experience they have llearned to be master politicians. | Behind them stand the old La { Follette IL.egion, that for decades| | worshiped the Senior Bob. Over | ithe gtate are tens of thousands otl | | men “and women who will follow these sons within the borders of Wisconsin, Due to the teachings of the' Grand Old Man himself they, however, do their own thinking on national issues and personalities. ) Hotel Lobby Views l .| Two nights later I sat with four men in the lobby of a hotel in p | Sparta, Wisconsin, In the group 1| was an insurance man, a lawyer, a 5 Monument dealer who owned a| ;| fTarm and the hotel keeper. l ¢| The insurance man said: “I'm a ¢ | Republican, but I voted for Roose-| ,| velt—and T think T'll do it again.” .| The lawyer said: “I'm one of the | _{few chronic Democrats in this| r‘town. I think Roosevelt has done | 11 the best job he could and I don't »/ wee any way he can be defeated.| 1;1 don’t believe a strong third party |ean be put over.” , The monument dealer and farm {|owner held: “The drouth gets 80 ,| per cent the credit for the rise in| [farm prices. Roosevelt broke hisg 1| Pledges and the Democratic plat o form. Still, T don’t see how he can o | be beaten.” | n. The hotel keeper had this to say: | ol “I've got to admit that I'm for -‘Ruosevelt. I'm an old LaFollette I.§l-'rogressive, but I don’t see any 7 real hope for a national third| g party next year.” | t, Here in Wisconsin the Agricul- | - tural college each year honors a| t|few outstanding dirt farmers by t |designing them ag Master Farmers. | n|l talked with one of these some 30| i#¥ 5 % Y .

His name | was Chris Gruber. , “I voted for Hoover — and the LaFollettes,” he said, “but I sort ‘uf think I'd vote for Roosevelt to day. I think he’s done about { everything he can. He's got the 'lnug]lest job in the world . "¢ ¥ | was on the Sauk county corn and )hog committee and I hate to ad [ mit it, but I wouldn’t be surprised 'if as many as 26 per cent of our }l'nrmvrs did a little cheating on their reports. Some of ’em were just plain dishonest about it. We | got almost a million dollars in this county alone.” | I mentioned relief. “I can't fig ure out for the life of me how we're ever going to stop that business,” he answered. ‘“There’'s fully one third of the families in our little village on relief of one kind or another, The married men make more money working for the PWA than we can pay ’‘em. I've had ‘'em quit me to go on relief work. It's going to be a tough job te ever | get 'em out of the habit of havin’ ;Hw. government take care of 'em.” { kil it ' A Mew Relief Problem ‘ All over America 1 heard much |of thig relief talk. Men with jobs | resented the 30-hour week of the | PWA, and even more the fact that | there wag food for the families of | men who were plain malingerers. | Many of these critics felt that we '{ had already created a vast pool of THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA indolent, men who would always find a way of living without work. They recognized that the govern meént was now endeavoring to make men work and that the states a.nd! federal authorities would try to shut off gift relief. But the prob lem of the mass voting strength of the reliefers wogld be hard to solve. ’ Over near the Minnesota line, near the lovely village of Wiest| Salem, Wisconsin prosperous Adolph Nuttlemann shook hig head, in grave doubt. “I'm a LaFollette Republican and I voted for Roose velt, but I'm worried about this| relief business,” he gaid. “Just try: to take a bone away from a dogl and see what he does.” Life-Saving “Co-Ops” That afternoon 1 crossed the great Mississippi into Minnesota. 1 had been visiting sturdy farmers who loved the soil and had gained economic independence both by hard work and by their success ful dairy co-operatives. 1 would not soon forget what this same Adolph Nuttlemann had said to me:: “Without our co-op cream erieg and our LaCrosse Milk Pro ducers association we'd be getting from one-third to one-half less for our milk. Owur co-opératives have saved our lives.” ; I carried with me, too, the defi nite limpression that Wisconsin would vote again for Roosevelt. They have little intérest in Long or Coughlin or a national third party. : Most of the farmers believe the 3 A’s have helped them. Many of them feel that it is wrong to cur ‘tail farm production when there| are millions underfed. Within the state the Progressive mood accuratély fits the temper of people. In many ways these Wis consinians are similiar to Texans and Californians—they rejoice in their own separate nation. " TOMORROW~—In the third party land—Governor Olson and his fel ‘low Minnesotans say their say. | Valdosta Celebrates .
