Every day in every way the political bed of
Robert LaFollette becomes more bizarre and in
cOngruous in its inhabitants. All the loose 'lead-
ers" of the socalled progressive groups having
been correlled, including Debs this ambitious solon
is now reaching far into the camp of reaction
for support The latest incident is the reported
dorsement of Governor Blaine, of Wisconsin, for
election as a real honest-to-God progressive.
'It is inconceivable," George Commings LaFol-
lette patriot and active fighter against a Farmer
Labor party, is reported saying, "that the SEN
ator will openly ally his candidacy with that of
the Dave Rose candidacy of the republican party"
But of course it is not inconceivable at all. The
man who dickers with Hearst who comes to an
understanding with Len Small in Illinois, who
knifes his friends in Montana in return for another
block of reactionary votes, who puts the most re-
dictionary elements in charge of his campaign in
other states with instructions to destroy the
FarmerLabor parties, who surrounds himself with
bankers manufacturers, and merchants-it is not
at all uncomfortable that he will support Blaine,
even tho Blaine keeps regular" in the republican
party.
In this "melange of middleclass intelligentsia,
petit bourgeOisie and trade union bureaucracy
struggling to find formula for class collabora-
tion," Hillquit and Berger find their true place
There is only one occupant of the disgraceful bed
who, on account of his record of revolutionary
activities, out of place there That is Eugene
Debs. And Debs, by identifying, himself with this
demi-monde of politics, has Cancelled his right to
call himself a revolutionist.,

that nationally there is no longer a socialist
party as an independent political unit. Then there
is the LaEollette pet, Governor Blaine, who is
fighting to succeed himself. Mr.. Blaine is said to
be the very incarnation of LaFoIettesm in the
state. Mr.. Commings, his lieutenant governor, who
mouths progressive phrases with greater ease, is
also trying to climb rung on the political ladder
thru winning the republican gubernatorial nominal
ton. Add to this mess the candidacy of certain
Mr.. Hirst, who is supporter of Coolidge and
Dawes and you have a composite picture of the
LaFollette machine and the LaFollette movement
in its territory, Wisconsin, where it has fourshed
for decades
Hirst, Berger Blaine, and Commings-these are
the wheels of the LaFolette machine in Wisconr
sin! 1t is precisely because of this weird class
combination which LaFolletteism has produced
in Wisconsin that most of the talk concerning the
state being genuinely progressive has turned out
to be empty. LaFolette, the enemy of war, is the
political boss of a state whose military establish
ments have increased seventy per cent since the
war and which now ranks seventh in National
Guard strength. LaFollette is the political boss of
Wisconsin where the State Federation of Labor
has just declared: "The socalled progressive wing
of the Republican party has brought forth no re
liable adhesive Legislative group in the state.
We regret to say that no recognition of labor has
been given in the selection of lawyers to fill the
important Office of judge Labor was encouraged
to entertain hope, but was finally ignored"
This is the kind of promised land that Mr.
LaFollette wants the great mass of workers and
farmers to attain.
