LA TOILETTE TO
LAUNCH THIRD.
PARTY EFFORT?|
This Interpretation Placed
Upon His Announcement
on North Dakota
LAYS FOUND ATION

Did Robert M. LaFollette's state
ment explaining why he withdrew
from the North Dakota presidential
primary mean that he is really plan
ming to start third party move
ment? ",
The Interpretation is favored by
George E. Akerson, political writer
of the Minneapolis Tribune, in q
, special Washington dispatch. He
says:
The first direct intimation from
| Senator Robert NJ. LaFollettc himself
that he may be willing to head a
third party ticket in the coming pres
idential campaign is contained in a
telegram he has just sent TO North
Dakota.
The Wisconsin senator withdraws
his name from the presidential pri-
mary ballot in North Dakota and at
the same time lays the foundation for
his expected attack upon what the
Republ can national convention at
/ Cleveland in June will do.
Il have no illusions about the
Cleveland convention" he says in
telegram to C. j. Olson, chairman
of the LaFollcttc campaign commit
tee in North Dakota. The steam
roller will be operated there by the
same forces that controlled it in
1912 and other years. The arbitrary
increase of the unreprescntativ
southern delegations is sufficient
proof of this
To Offer Platform at Cleveland
Some time ago information came to
the effect that Senator LaFollette
had decided not to enter the primary
contests in any of the states, prefer
ring to have only the WISCONSIN
delegation fight for His platform in,
the national convention. 1t was then
limited that he intended to file as
an independent candidate for pres
ident in certain states in the upper
Mississippi valley, hoping to carry
them and thereby prevent the Repub-
lican and Democratic nominees from
getting majority of the votes in
the electoral college. That would
throw the election Of the next pres
ident into, the House of Representa-
tives and. if that body could not Sc
lect, into the Senate.
In his telegram to North Dakota,
Senator La Toilette outlines the pro,
gram which his Wisconsin adherents
will follow. He says he: will send "a
strong progressive delegation to
Cleveland to fight for fundamental
principles. It is known that
through this delegation La Fol-
lette will present his platform to the
people. He expects that it will be
turned down. That will leave him
free. after the convention or to have
lists of independent electors filed
for him in certain states.
