Potentially as colorful as Washington's great Governor Hartley-President Suzzalo fight (TIME, Oct. 18, 1926), or the breach between Michigan's Governor Green and President Clarence Cook Little (TIME, Feb. 4, 1929) is a situation which Wisconsin has been watching ever since young Philip Fox La Follette took the Governor's chair at Madison last January.

...baby. But the most awful moment of suffering takes place when, permitted to see the baby for the first time in two years, she arrives at the house just after it has died.
