Body Found In River At Division Street Attributed To Missing Men
A body found floating in the river at Division Street is identified as Carl Swenson though investigators consider Grant Gesselson a more likely match. Coroner Tetley described a 25 to 30 year old man, 5'8", 145 pounds, with a blue suit and overalls, and noted items including pocketbooks, a rosary, and a Madison image pocket mirror. The death follows another river body found earlier in September, with uncertainty whether the jumper from Labor Day remains are linked.

Wisconsin primary law may force La Follette presidential bid
Wisconsin Republicans confront a legal tangle in the state primary law that could compel Senator Robert M. La Follette to run for president to preserve the progressive wing. The law ties delegates named under a candidate to the candidate, risking a split if conservatives back Gov. Philip or others while progressives back Cummins or another figure. If agreement fails, La Follette may again seek the presidency to protect the party's Wisconsin organization.
