 OF LA TOILETTE
 INCLUDE ALLU.S
Every State Will Be In- vaded In Quest For
 Votes

WASHINGTON. July 20.-(By As sociated Press. )-Plans for waging s vigorous battle for votes in every state were discussed today at a conference attended by Senator LaFollette of Wis consin, independent candidate for presi dent; Senator Wheeler of Montana, his running mate; Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, their campaign manager and several of their political advisers The discussion was general and no def mite decisions were reached.
 Later in the day, MT. Nelson left fol Chicago, where he has established head quarters. He expects to run to Wash ington during the week to|confer with members of the committee which will assist him in directing the campaign.
 The national committee for the Con ference for Progress political Action at its meeting yesterday, after con sultation with Senator LaFollette and Mir. Nelson, decided on the appoint ment of a campaign committee to be headed by Nelson. Of the other mem bers, five will be selected by Senators LaFollette and Wheeler, and the re- maining five by officials of the confer ence. The personnel probably will be announced in day or two.
 Fl8y WaIt1ng Uame
 The opinion is understood to have prevailed at today's conference that it would be good strategy to let the re- publicans and democrats show their hands before launching an active cam to be probable that neither LaFollette nor Wheeler would do any speech mak- ing until after both President Coolidge nud Tohn " nox-ic boTo bonu officio III 1v notified of their nominations, and it was predicted that little would be done, so far as active campaigning is con cerned, until September.
 Meanwhile. however, several brief radio addresses may be made by both Senator LaFollette and his running mate.
 When the drive for votes is launched, it is likely that both LaFollette and Wheeler will first direct their efforts toward winning support in the east. One of the plans under consideration is to have the Wisconsin senator make his first campaign speech in New York city, with his colleague making his initial appeal for votes ill some New England city. probably Boston.
 LaFolIette Selects West
 Later in the campaign, MT. LaFol- lette intends to speak i'll a number of important cities in the middle and far west, with Senator Wheeler conducting a whirlwind speech making campaign in practically all sections of the coun- try.
 The present concern of the LaFol- lette workers is to get the ticket on ballots in every state. Mir. Nelson said he was certain this could be accom- plished, although difficulties were ex- pected in several states.
 An effort also is being made to CO., ordinate the support for the LaFollette- Wheeler ticket in each state. In sev- eral states more than one organizat ton has come to the front with the demand that it be recognized as the official DaFollette group. It is proposed to min imize rivalry and to get all supporters of the ticket amalgamated into one body, if possible. with view to present. ing a more solid front.
 Wherever possible, the LaFollette ticket will be designated independent ' although his advisers admit that in some states it may be impossible to place it on the ballots as such, and some other esignation-prOgressi farmer-labor, or like name-will have to be used.
 LaFollette supporters, at their con ference here yesterday, determined to promote the holding of state conferences as soon as possiOie. with a vlew to arranging for the nomination of electors
