L'FOLLETTE
SEEKS T REST

Washington, May 7.-senator Ro-
bert M. La Toilette, Wisconsin,, plans
to go to Atlantic City, where he
hopes to recover completely from the
i'll health that has kept his seat in
the senate vacant almost all of the
present session.
Both the regular political parties
are watching with mixed emotions
the third party threat involved in La
Follette's role. Whether that thre at
ever will materialize depends largely
on the Wisconsin senator's health.
La Toilette has kept toi his home
for months directing from there the
movements of his group in congress.
Senator La Toilette probably will
return to Washington before May 20
and then, if his health permits, again
will take his seat in the senate.
