COMMITTEE OF 48
BOLTS THIRD PARTY
Senator La Toilette Declared He
Would Not Run on Radical
PIanks Adopted.

Chicago-A split in the ranks Of
the new national political party de-
veloped. Leaders of the Committee
of Forty-eight followed by over 200
delegates of that organization left
Garments Hall where the Amalgamat-
ed Convention had been held and re-
turned to the Morrison Hotel where
they assembled in their old conven-
ton hall
By an overwhelming vote the Bolt
ers' refuse to return to Garments
Hall and voted to meet In the Morri-
son Hotel Hall again.
Leaders Of the Committee of Forty
eight denounced the action of labor
leaders in forcing through their plat
form, which was so radical that Unit
ed States Senator Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette refused to be the new party's
candidate for President.
Amos Pinchot, George L. Record,
ellison Gardner, Dudley Field Malone,
J. A. II. Hopkins and the other forty
eight leaders refused to return to Car
mems Hall.
The labor group in the third party
national convention was victorious in
the fight on its platform. The minor
ity platform report presented to the
convention by leaders. of the Commit
tee of Forty-eight was rejected by q
vote of 3OS to 125. The labor groups
platform was then adopted by ac-
clamation.
The third party was formally chris
tende the "FarmerLabor" party by a
unanimous vote of the convention.
Despite his refusal to accept the
nomination the name of Senator Rob-
ert NJ LaFollette was presented to
the convention. Other candidates
placed in nomination were: Dudley
Field Malone, of New York; Henry
Ford, of Michigan, and Farley P.
Christensen, of Utah.
While leaders of the Labor party
were fighting to have its platform
adopted by the amalgamated conven-
ton, United States Senator Robert
nj. LaFollette withdrew as candidate
for the Presidential nomination serv-
ing notice on the convention that he
would not run on q platform as raGi-
cal as proposed by the labor group.
Presentation and consideration of
the two platform drafts were attend
ed by riotous demonstrations lasting
all the afternoon.
Announcement of LaFollette's with
drawal to the convention started a
near riot Rushing to the platform,
Lester F. Barlow, national chairman
Of the World War Veterans, plunged
the convention into an uproar when
he declared that secret intrigue in the
Conference Committee had crushed
the convention.
