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.

In Schwolzcrlsche

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 :

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. .

(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

Preparation for Dental Treatment.

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.

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."
