Aug. 9 Phillip M. La Fol-lette, son of the candidate, on his arrival here Saturday from a west tour said: "An undercurrent of political independence, which' originated in the west and is sweeping eastward, gives indications of an astonishing vote for Robert La Follette and United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler for president and vice president, respectively."

"The facts will become evident as the campaign progresses. Bat In these western states a stupenduous number of persons have concluded that it is time to arrange to vote what they think is right.

GUI DISEASE: INDUCED DEATH PLEIS GUN Doctor Avers Leopold Suffered Afflictions That Made Him Slave to Loeb's Proposals.

Chicago. Aug. 9. (JP Disordered endocrine glands were held responsible for the mental and physical development of Nathan F. Leopold, which permitted him to fall in with Richard Loeb's childish phantasy to commit the perfect crime, resulting in the kidnaping and slaying of Robert Franks.

Dr. H. S. Hulburt, Chicago psychiatrist, Jestified Saturday in the hearing to fix their punishment. Dr.

Hulburt used X-ray pictures to show to Judge John R. Caverly causes of the youth's mental and physical dis orders on which the defense based its plea for mitigation of punishment. Leopold's thyroid gland had been diseased, but the disorder has subsided and his pineal and pituitary glands have not functioned as they should, the doctor, fourth of the defense's experts to appear In the 16 days of hearing, testified. In summing up he concluded that the boys, he having described Loeb's disorders Friday, came together as necessary complements, one for the other, and added Leopold, unable to resist Loeb's leadership, their association led to the murder of Bobby Franks. Dr.

H. S. Hulburt. fourth of the' alienists for the defense, was on the witness stand to conclude his direct testimony when the hearing to de termine punishment for Nathan F. Leopold, and Richard Loeb for kidnaping and killing Robert Franks, was resumed for the sixteenth dayf Saturday before Judge John Tt.

Caverly. A half hour before court Was opened at 10 a. m. the court room was filled and a line wound down stairs from the sixth floor and out on Austin avenue to' Clark street, a block away. Those, in the line could hope only for some one in the court room to leave and then obtain that seat.

as the court's injunction against standers is firm. The defense expected that completion of Hulburt's direct testimony and examination by Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, would require the entire to-hour holiday session. The hearing got under way 15 minutes late and Dr. Hulburt picked up his testimony where he left off Friday with his description of Leopold's "king slave" phantasy.

Dr. Hulburt said the phantasy was continued until the age of 18, the phantasy setting-the pattern of his life, Leopold's ambition coming to be. the "perfect elave of the perfect king." Leopold found euch a person in Ixeb, said the witness and wanted to be Loeb's "perfect slave in any manner, even through kidnaping and murder." "There were no criminalistic phantasies in Leopold's life, but his phantasies influenced him very largely to do what he has done," continued the doctor. The testimony veered Leopold's religious life, the witness saying that because of his advanced, intellectual life, Leopold was ready for confirmation well before he was of age to be, and when be reached the age, did not care to be confirmed. Leopold once visited a church in which there was a stained glass window 1-ortraying the Madonna and Christ Child, said Dr.

Hulburt. Leopold did not know the figures, but identified his mother with the Madonna and himself with an older child In the picture, possibly St. John the Baptist, said the doctor. "He does not say, 'I said the witness, "but says 'I am the superior person of the read Hulburt in his notes. "He finally found fault with God because God makes mistakes, making a great mistake when he tookjiis mother.

"His mother's death made a great change in Leopold's life. He never did adjust himself to the world after she "He finally saw life with no God, no good, no right, no wrong."
