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
