Wisconsin. When Franklin Roosevelt, homing from Hawaii, paused at Green Bay to pat his Wisconsin friends upon the back, he singled out two: Progressive Senator Bob La Follette, and Democratic Governor Albert G. Schmedeman. No help to the Governor's campaign was the accident which resulted in the amputation of his leg (TIME, Oct. 15).
