Leadership Of
Radicals Sought
by La Toilette
Wisconsin Senator Has Presi.
dental Approximations
New Party If Republicans
Cannot Be Stampeded.
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.


Washington, June 2l.-(Special
Telegram.)-Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette. Wisconsin, is in the field
for the leadership OF a radical Amer
ican party, according to reliable in
formation reaching the senate, and
seeks to become its nominee for
president.
This information was corroborated
by dramatic attempt on the part
OF the Wisconsin senator to stage in
the senate a reproduction of his
speech made June ID, before the
American Federation OF Labor, in
which he attacked the supreme court
and enunciated doctrine which
would make congress the supreme
branch OF the government. He will
seek to. bring this, change about by
a constitutional amendment.
Plans Amalgamation.
According TO the information
which has reached senator's, Senator
La Toilette believes the time is ripe
for all amalgamation of the radical
agrarian and radical labor groups
into one party, which is already rep
resented in some of the states. as
the farmer-labor party. Senator La
Toilette, according to the same in
formation, will remain within the re-
publican party until after his re-elec-
ton as United States senator and
then. if he fails to stampede the re-
publican party into the radical camp,
a failure practically certain, he will
lead the new party movement.
The plan involves an attempt to
bring about an amalgamation Of the
radical farm and labor elements, as
outlined in the original scheme of the
Nonpartisan league OF North Da-
kota. Heretofore these attempts have
not met with marked success. The
effort to fuse the two elements was
a failure in Minnesota. but the
friends of Senator La Toilette say it
succeeded in Iowa, when Smith w.
Brookhart was nominated for United
States senator.
Ticket Now in Field.
The farmer-labor ticket is now in
the field in Minnesota and Nebraska,
and the La Toilette forces hope to
carry with them the radical elements
OF such farm states as Wisconsin,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa
and Nebraska.
The program which the Wisconsin
senator is understood to have III
mind is not known to have the sup
port OF Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of
Labor, but does have the support OF
the more radical element in labor
represented by William Z. Foster
and others.
Recall Of Decisions.
The program involves what
amounts to recall OF judicial de-
cisions, by making it possible for
congress to nullify supreme court
by passing law declared unconsti-
tutional by that body, doctrine
which as pointed out in the senate
today by Senator Kellogg, Mime
sofa, would make il possible for
congress to nullify all of the consti-
tutional provisions, including the
amendments to the constitution
known as the Bill of rights, to change
the form of government at will.
Other features of the proposed pro-
gram will be opposition to the Esch-
Turn to Page Two. Column six.)

Critical Stage in Rising
Waters, Which Have 1nun.
dated 10000 Acres, Ex.
pected Tonight.

Brownsville, Tex, June 21.-Four
hundred feet of levee protecting a
section of the San Benito irrigation

San Antonio, Tex, June 21.-(By
A. P)-The critical stage in the

leans in small border towns, and COW
cred the roads leading west of Mer-
cedes, is expected between midnight
tonight and dawn Thursday when
the crest Of the upper flood is due
to reach the edge Of Starr county.
This upper flood, the result Of a
cloudburst Saturday, remarkable in
the history of the river, not only be-
cause it has exceeded all previous rec
ords, but also because of its slow
movement and sustained volume.
From stream normally 200 to 800
yards wide and l8 inches to six feet
deep, the Rio Grande has become
50 feet deep at the flood crest and
from three-quarters to a mile wide.
The volume of water is so great that
at Laredo. Tex, where all unofficial
stage of 81 feet was reached at II
o'clock yesterday morning, the river
was still 50 feet deep at E o'clock
last night. At Eagle Pass a 5l-foot
stage was reached at midnight Sum-
