Mr. Kohler last week endorsed the candidacy of President Hoover, thereby surprising Democrats who had dared lilrn to do it. Democrats charged that Mr.

Kohler, who made the primary fight on state issues, chiefly economy in government, would hesitate to a3-Bociate himself with the national Republican ticket.

Chappie's drive ngainst what he described as "atheism" at the State university and against "insidious influences which undermine the American order," was so completely successful in the primary that his supporters said they feared he was out of ammunition.
