Borah s Victory in Wisconsin yHE Roosevelt-Borah victory in the Wisconsin primary, is plastered all over the front page of this morning's Portland Journal. There isn't a line on the front page of the.Oregonian, nor can any report be found on the inside pages. Needless to say, the presidential political campaign has begun! y 1TTITH incomplete returns, Borah is given overwhelming control of the Wisconsin delegation to the Republican convention, two delegates pledged to Landon of Kansas being completely lost in the shuffle. The same returns, however, give President Roosevelt approximately twice as many votes as the senator from Idaho. . Which indicates Roosevelt will carry Wisconsin next November, arid Borah will have a block of 24 rotes in the Cleveland convention, that will stick tp him until the cows come home. " . . . ( a e a e'. OOLITICALIyY, Wisconsin is not a normal state. Ever since the late "Fighting Bob" LaFollette gained control, the Republican and Democratic party machines have been only a few jumps removed from the junk, pile, and the LaFollette fam ily has been in control. According to the press dispatches, the LaFollette boys, "took no part in the primary campaign", made no effort to influence the voters one way or the other. "Governor Philip LaFollette remained silent in his few pre-campaign statements, except to say he would support Roosevelt, unless the Rcpubli cans nominated a better man, or no satisfactory third party candidate appeared." . . .. But from a LaFollette, such a statement was enough. More over the voters did not need to be told, that the LaFollette boys were working hand and glove with the present adminis tration, and were in hearty sympathy and accord with President Roosevelt. . ' , The large pro-Roosevelt vote, followed as a matter of course, But how does one explain the overwhelming Republican support for Borah only a short time after the Republicans of New York state, kicked the Idaho senator into a cocked hat? THE answer to that is not hard to find. As above stated, there is no Republican organization in Wisconsin worthy of the name, and the rank and file of the party is militantly Progressive, and uncompromisingly anti-Old Guard. They went to Borah as naturally and inevitably as water runs down hill, becnusc he is the same. And unless all signs fail they will never desert him. For that is the Wisconsin way. We will never forget the behavior of the Wisconsin delega tion at the Republican convention which finally nominated the late. President Harding, The'one state that held out against the Ohio gang, to the last ballot in fact never went over to them, even when the result was known was Wisconsin "21 votes for Robert 31. LaFollette 1" rang out, roll call after roll call, regardless of how other states switebed, and regardless also of the jeers and hoots from the gallery, for that was shortly after the war and the Wisconsin senator was ab6ut as popular as a polecat at a fancy dress ball. . . CUCH support will be extremely helpful to Borah. In fact as J the situation now stands, the Idaho senator is the strongest candidate the Republicans could name. Why f Because he is the one regular Republican, thus far a candi date, who stands absolutely and unalterably committed to a new deal, not the Roosevelt New Deal, not a, national new deal, but a PARTY new deal, a thorough house cleaning with in the party itself and particularly the old reactionary leader ship.

DON'T GET HAYWIRE ABOUT FROSTBITE IITIIATEVER may be said against Borah, his unorthodox monetary theories, his isolationist principles, his tempera mental vagaries, no one denies that if nominated, HE WOULD BE HIS OWN BOSS, no group of fixers, wire pullers, or old guard heelers, in a smoke filled room at 3 a. m. (or any other time), would tell him what to do. As independent as a hog on ice, there is also no question of the Idaho senator's honesty, courage or ability. But that spirit of INDEPENDENCE, is what would gain him the Progressive Republican support, and that is the support the Republican candidate needs to win. For not enthusiasm for Roosevelt, and the New Deal but suspicion OF, and lack of confidence IN, the Republican party, and its old deal, is today and promises to continue to be, the greatest political asset the Democratic, partly has. Landon, Knox, Vandenberg, Dickinson, all good men, no doubt, but not one of them, would remove the doubt among the Liberals in this country, that the nomination of Borah would remove, with them the suspicion would remain, that thev would not lead the Republican party, the Republican party and particularly the few reactionary higher-ups, would lead THEM. And paradoxically enough the very fact Borah would be the strongest candidate among the people, is the reason why his clumecs are so slight. For unless some miracle occurs, that Republican Old Guard will be in control of the Cleveland con vention, as it has been in control of every convention since the Bull Moose crusade, and for them, of all tbe candidates, Borah is the man to beat. ' They would far rather lose an election, than nominate Borah and lose their control. if ji ! 1 A medical correspondent writes: "You will recall ur correspond ence of four years ago on the sub ject of frostbite. You maintained that it Is a mistake to apply snow, ice or cold water In the first aid treatment of a frozen mem ber. You will be Interested In article by Ru dolph Campbell In Schwolzcrlsche medlzlnlschfc Wo chenschrlft for December 17, '32. This authority gives no crumb of comfort Dr. Campbell has had experience in high mountain regions. He advocates the following course of treatment; oring wie patient into a warm room, wrap him at once In warm covers and apply all available kinds of external and Internal heat, to pro- mote the best possible circulation. Place the frozen members In a cold water bath (temperature of water from 45 to 60 degrees P.) in order that the thawing out may be ac complished gradually, the water being Kept com ny adding snow or Ice oc casionally. The patient should per rorm all the active movements he can with the frozen member. The physician strokes the frozen parts to ward the heart with a wet towel, with care to remove from time to time any Ice that may form on the skin. Through freezing of the water on the aurface of the skin the cold nec eaary for this physical process Is withdrawn from the frozen member and the latter Is thawed out ouicklv. safely, and, as it were, without sec ondary efects. If the frostbite Is on the face, the same result is effected by passing cold compresses over it. Rubbing with soft, dry snow Is al ways useful, but the use of hard. frozen snow Is to be condemned. since It may Inflict wounds that will admit Infection. The operator's own hand must be perfectly clean and should be wrapped In a woolen cloth : or glove to prevent Its freezing while I at work, immediately after -the nart I la thawed out, antiseptic treatment I There Is no sound reason why we hould hesitate to thaw out frozen tissues quickly, it Is merely an old tradition that the frozen member must be rubbed with Ice, snow or cold. This tradition belongs in the same category with the notion that a person rescued from starvation must not be given a reasonable amount of food Immediately, or one who base been deprived of water for daya must not take a fair drink of cold water Immediately. It would be pretty severe treatment to apply cold, snow or Ice in such .jnanner. even to a normal body. I suppose the physics of the German physician's theory Is correct water In freezing doea give off what little heat was in It, but most of the heat U given off to the air. All this weird hocus-pocus, then, serves chiefly to give the doctor an air of being very busy, but it is questionable whether It promotes recovery. SteTansson, the Arctic explorer, found that the best treatment for frozen cheek, nose or finger was Im mediate warmth and mild kneading or massage, but very mild and very brief, and we know from experience that this Is the best way to deal with ordinary frostbite of cheek, ear or other member, and that the gentle kneading with the warm hand should cease the Instant the blanched area shows return of natural color. It Is time now to discard these quaint superstitions and use a little sense In dealing with frostbite. . Comment on the Day's News QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS No Change. During the change does one have Intense backache, can't sleep, and when left alone cry and worry, choke up so hard It Is hard to breathe (Mrs. E. R. B.) Answer One Is no more likely to have such symptoms at the time of menopause than at any other time in life. The 'change" is not a crisis In any sense, but simply a physiological cessation of a function. Send stamped envelope bearing your ad dress, for free monograph on Menopause. Premature Graying.

Preparation for Dental Treatment. Some time ago you had a prescrip tion which may be taken before hav ing dental work done. My teeth are so extremely sensitive . . . (Mrs. L. E. L.) Answer Two or three grains of sodium amytal may be administered by physician or dentist, not taken by the patient without professional supervision, to prepare for the seance. It tends to prevent unto ward effects from anesthetics and enables the patient to stand painful or tedious treatment better. (Copyright, 1936, John P. Dllle Co.) Ed.

By FRANK JENKINS IHE Hauptmana case, at last, Is I ended and for that, if we are good Americans, loving our country, proud of It Institutions and hopeful for Its future, we should be grateful. IN the Hauptmann case, administra tion of justice In America sank to Its lowest ebb since the nation was founded. The trial itself wasn't a trial, In the sense that trials are sincere, hon est, serious efforts to establish guilt or Innocence and deal out punish ment to the guilty so that others may be deterred from committinti crimes. It was a three-ring circus, run for the entertainment of the rabble. The Hauptmann trial was essenti ally similar to the bloody gladiatorial shows staged In ancient Rome at the time when Rome was BEGINNING TO DECAY. IP the Hauptmann trial was a scan dal, the sequel to it waa a dis grace. Every conceivable effort was made to thwart Justice. A cold-eyed, tight lipped creature who was connected by indisputable evidence with the crime, who was In possession of and surreptitiously spent a p&it of the blood money, waa pictured as a mar tyr and the grief -stricken father of the murdered baby was made by In ference to appear as a monster who was hounding an innocent man to ; his doom. , It can not as yet be proved, but honest-minded people can not escape the conclusion that in the spectacu lar attempt to save this grim, tight- lipped creature perjury waa pur- , chased by wholesale. j ! THK purpose of, a trial Is to estab lish the guilt or Innocence of the accused. Ideally, If the accused Is Innocent the prosecution will DE SIRE to clear him; If he Is guilty the defense will DESIRE to convict him. The purpose of trials In court, which He at the very foundation of the whole system of organized society, is I to ESTABLISH THE TRUTH. In this Hauptmann case, about everybody connected with It gave the impression of seeking not to estab lish the truth but to win out at any cost. We can't get Justice that way and without justice we can't have civili sation. IN this Hauptmann case, there was a disturbing loss of those funda mental values upon which sound ad ministration of Justice and perma nent and useful organization of soci ety must depend for existence. Lawyers became NOT officials of the court, sworn to aid In every way in the establishment of truth, but PAID ADVOCATES, determined at any cost to win their case, regardless of Its merits. The press forgot Its high place as upholder of the truth and defender of our liberties and scrambled In the gutter for the pen- One of those sartorlally unblem ished silver-haired Tories swung Jauntily out of the Racquet Club this evening. A huge car, shlnlngly luxurious, purred up to him with precise timing. He steped In and shot away. And Lois Long, noting it all from the side lines, exclaimed: "That's the trouble with this coun try everything going Communistic." (Copyright, 1936. McNaught Syndicate) Vne Mat! Tribune want ads.
