Deadlock Patsihle.

First, the casting of any electoral votes for LaFollette will merely mix up the election and possibly prevent any of the three candidates from re- ceiving majority of the electoral votes, thus throwing the election into the house of representatives The el- ection of a third party candidate would not carry with it the control of con gress so the legislative situation would be a constant wrangle without pro- gress.
 Second, the democratic argument will be that the regular republicans are too conservative and the LaFollette re- publicans are too radical and that liSGrai pGlicy-compromise between the two eXtremes--weuld be adopted by the democrats. The claim would be made that the election of demo- cratic president would carry with it the election of a democratic congress so that all branches of the government would be able to proceed in harmony.
 The third party ticket is likely to have two effects-either to force the election of democratic president, as in 1912, by splitting the republican vote, or else by forcing the election in to the house of representatives, which body chooses a president whenever no candidate gets a majority of the cleo tnral vntnS

West battle-ground

The strength of the LaFollett group is in the west. These states are nor mally republican. If Senator Lafollette wins them, MT. Coolidge would be vii tally affected in the final tally. The democrats have hopes of carrying cer- tain western states, too. Between the LaFollette efforts and the Democratic campaign, MT. Coolidge would have to carry nearly everything East of the Mississippi river as we'll as certain Pacific Coast states to get majority. The West, therefore, will be the real battle-ground, for the strength of the regular republican party in the past is it's conservatism, the very thing that the LaFollette republicans will be bat ting against in the west.
