CALL FARMER-LABOR
CONVENTION PARLEY
Wisconsin Committee to Discuss
Changes Likely Due to La
Toilette Statement.
SAY COUNSEL WAS UNJUST
Only Few Communists Among
Delegates in Party.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, May ,3O.-To determine
if there should be any change in the
plans for holding the national Farm
er-Iabor progressive convention here
June II, members of the state COM
mittee of the Farmer Labor Federation
were called to meet here Sunday.
A call for IL meeting of the twenty
two members of this state committee
was issued yesterday by William Ma
honey of St. Paul. probable temporary
chairman Of the proposed convention,
as Il result of the statement attack
ing the convention made Wednesday by
Senator Il. NJ La Toilette.
Members of the local committee
promoting the convention believe IL
should be held despite Senator La
FoIlette's attitude, although admit
tedly he is the conventions only
likely presidential candidate on
third party" ticket.
Unjust Counsel Charged.
Charges that Senator La Toilette $
statement was the result of unfair
and unjust counsel" are made in
statement issued today by the ma
tional committee on arrangements
for the proposed national convention.
The state declared the convention
to be a move for the foundation for
a permanent Independent politlcal
organization. which would represent
the wealth producing element OF the
nation" and cannot be built around
any individual
senator La Follette's letter." the
statement added. "subordinates the
tremendous issue of rescuing the gov
ernment from plutocratic control and
the necessity for all honest progress
sive voters uniting in this crisis.
The convention is not a La Toilette
or a one-man movement; it can
not be averted or destroyed by any
thing Senator La Toilette may do or
say The need for it continues to ex
ist and there is no alternative but for
it TO proceed
Only Few Communists.
The charge that the communists
will dominate the convention is
gross Misrepresentation. Every eff
fort has been made to secure dele
gates from every group coming with
in the terms of the call. and Senator
La Toilette and his advisers must
know the communists constitute only
n very small fraction of those inter-
ested in the National Farmer Labor
party
There is no more reason why sup
porters of Il National Farmer-Labor
party should doubt the communists
than they should question the SINGER
ity of Senator La Toilette. For many
wears he has maintained formal af-
filiationS with the Republican party,
the most infamous political machine
ever in control of the American gov
ernment.
For the same reason that Senator
La Toilette feels that the time has
come for all right-thinking people to
join in "a common cause to break the
shackles imposed on the people by
plutocracy. it is reasonable to give
the so-called communists credit for
as much honesty and sincerity as
Senator La Toilette claims for him
self by giving the communists an op-
portunity to unite their forces with
the other progressives in the first
great national battle for freedom"
