LAFOLLETTE MEN
 GOING TO WILSON

Washington. July 1f.-(Special) )--That the influence of Senator LaFollette and large body of his powerful supporters quietly is going to be thrown to Wood row Wilson is the significance seen here in the announcement that Chas. R. Crane and President Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin have come out for Wilson.
 When the announcement is taken with the insistent attacks of LaFollette on Roosevelt, the significance of their ac- tion will not only combat the Roose- welt third party movement but he will try to line up his friends against it. As he will not support Taft it becomes plain Wilson will be the beneficiary of his efforts.
