Writteh Specially for The Chronicle By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD (Through Autocaster Service). Washington, May 5.—While people >f the country are puzzling their nains to decide who is to be the next ?re.iident of the United States, there s a likelihood the- question xould be ; answered right now by one man— Senator LaFollette. La Follette is in a strategic posi tion, such as no man has experienced n history. The political sharks here recognize tjie fact. They know he ■ou!d not be elected to the presidency his year, but they are really con vinced he can stop the election of Cah in Coolidge and block the election of any man the Democratic party may put into the running. North Dakota, South Dakota aiid Wisconsin are absolutely sizzling with third party sentiment. The wheat growers and the industrial workers of'Central Northwestern States are in rebellious mood. The situation is so acute that a third party ticket is more than likely. Once it ir Tsun^Ji- ed, the odds are all in favor of the election being thrown into the House of Representatives, and if this hap pens then La Follettee will be able to name the man who is to live in the White House for the coming four years. La Follette’s Strength Those who watch the trend of na tional politics here do not believe La Follette is sufficiently unwise to al low himself to be led into heading a third party ticket, but these same men are quite agreed that he is more than likely to engineer such a move ment into being. All eyes, of course, are turned to the Republican conven tion, however, because La Follette has stated he is willing to run on an independent progressive ticket in the event Coolidge is nominated by the Republicans. The sweeping victory cf La Follette over Coolidge in his home state indicates the ease with which the Senators could gather in the electoral votes of at least six or seven states in the fall election. Whether La Follette runs himself or engineers a thir dparty ticket with someone els* at the head of it ; the platform of the progressive element, as indicated by the Senator, is al ready written. Here are its salient features: The Progressive Platform “Destruction of the economic and political power of monoply. Recovery of the Navy’s oil reserves and prosecution of every person con nected with the oil scandal against whon\ serious charges have been made. Public ownership of railroads. Public ownership of water-poyer. Recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars stolen through war con- tracts. -r 1 Action to collect the $11,000,000,- 000 owed to the United States by foieign powers. A constitutional amendment pro viding that Congress may re-enact a statute over judicial veto. Reduction in freight rates on agri cultural products. ' Abolition of the injunction in labor disputes. Legalizing of the right of farm ers and industrial workers to organ ize, bargain collectively and conduct cooperative enterprises. , Adjusted compensation for veter ans of the World War. Direct nomination and election of President. Initiative and Referendum. Popular referendum on the ques tion of war, except in. case of in vasion. Denunciation of the Mellon tax and revision of the Treaty of Versail les.” This simple fact should be carried; clearly in mind. If the election is thrown into the House, the Wisconsin vote would be necessary to elect a Republican President. Without the Wisconsin vote there would be a tie, and there is no doubt the Wisconsin *ote in the House would obey the mandate of La Follette. Geological Survey Men to Fill in Blank Spot on Map. Nennna, Alaska.—Through the bit ter weather of late winter in the Arc tic circle and the peril of an unsettled, mknyWn Yeglon, a party of the*United Stales geological survey, headed by Dr. Phillip S. Smith, Is bound for the •eiaote Colville river baain. This probably is the most hazardous uisston ever undertaken by this branch The pur- mse Is to till in a big blank spot on the myp of Alaska containing So.OOh quaTe miles of unexplored wilderness, uid also to determine by mlneralogical esta the scope of all oil-bearing struc- ure known, to ejAst between Point Barrow, on the Arctic coast, and the 'olviUe basin. Territory Uninhabited. According to Gerald FitzGerald, opographleal engineer with the party, he barren stretch is uninhabited ex cept along the Arctic shores, where 1s- ilated bunds of Eskimos eke out a 11 v- ;ng by beachcombing. The country is ievold of limber, but ovrtlain by tufi- dru moss, save where streams cut the itructure and reveal coal beds and oil eepages. FitzGerald lias penetrated far enough n the direction to learn that game up on rently Is negligible, except for ptar migan and an occasional colony of jeaver and muskrat. Without timber, the party will be compelled to rely on •xposed coal for fuel and, lacking that, on the meager supply of gasoline and ileohol they can transport. Seek Oil Deposit*. Before leaving here, Doctor Smith •aid he expected to come out of the .vildemess by way of the Colville river o the Arctic ocean. He explained that he party would have to depend on icing picked up by a stray whaling »cssel and conveyed to the regular :n!*s of steamer travel at Nome. If 10 whaler appears, the explorers will •ast their lot with the Eskimos until • lief is s*»nt. The region to be explored is believed o contain vast deposits of oil. A lake l!!od with bitumen has been discov red near Point Barrow, and the sur cv party will try to determine the rigin of this oil and Its commercial mportnnce. , Take Dog Teams and Conoes. The expedition was organl/.ed with he care of a polar journey. No sur >1ms was carried, either In men or ma terials. Doctor Smith contracted with \ company to transport his supplies tr. die headwaters of the Alutna in the Vlaskan Rockies. At this point the arty is to plunge Into the wilderness, ‘esides the dozen dog teams, knock- 'own canoes were taken to be assem- ■►J and used when the streams are rce from Ice. Doctor Smith hoped to reach the headwaters of the Colville about May 1, so that the principal ex plorations could be made In the brief Arctic summer: - « The geologists and topographers In the party include Dr. & B. Mertle, R. K. Lynt and Harry A. Tult. Four aids complete th* personnel. Ex-Governor McCrdy - Begins Sentence ExGovernor Of Indiana In Atlanta Prison. Up For Ten Years For Fradulent Use Of Mails.
