 CHICAGO. July 13.-Senator Rob- ert NJ. LaFollette will be the thirty first president of the United States. He will be elected on the supreme issue, that of the trespass of the powerful few upon the rights of the many.
 The main issues of the campaign are: Labor, farmers. adjusted compen- sation and soldiers bonus, honest gov ernment.
 These are four of Senator LaFollette's 8 leading issues. The democrats and re- publicans have failed to make them worth while.
 If the elections were to be held to- day, the senator undoubtedly would sweep the country by tremendous ma jOrity.
 Many Pledges Since openin guor national head quarters, I have received over five mil lion pledges from all parts of the union to fight for LaFollette from now until the polls close. We are daily getting hundreds of petitions from every state.
 We will have more than ten million pledged voters on our petitions before the polls open November 4. On the books today we have more than two thousand men and women of all walks of life willing to start at once and tour the country in behalf of Senator LaFollette.
 The speakers bureaus will voice it's approval of LaFollette from the plat form to the people through nearly 15,- 900 speakers in the 4S states. Plans now are being effected for a statewide campaign in the 4S states conducted from here; centrally located point in each state will be headquarters for that state. Labor is one of the main vot ing forces fast lining up behind the senator. President Coolidge has been unfriendly and unfavorable to the labor cause and the democrat nominee, John w. Davis, whom Wall street and Nor gan interests are behind, is labor's most bitter enemy.
 Recall Coronado Case
 Labor never has forgotten the part Davis played in the Coronado mining case where he acted as attorney for thu rich coal operators, who almost sue ceeded in breaking the union and mak ing the workers pay lover $2, 2,222,O00 tt the operators.
 Senator LaFollette has come ou squarely for soldiers adjusted compen sation, not as a charity, but as mat ter of right. President Coolidge alread! has disapprOved any compensation whatsoever, while Davis, attorney fol big interests is opposed to soldier: bonus in any form. This question alon, will be the supreme issue to severa million former soldier voters of tn, country who are standing behind La Toilette for President.
 Women who pOllud tremendous vot, in 1920 are organizing clubs in ever! state for LaFOllette, whose record il Washington on suffrage has met witt the favorable approval of leading suf fragettes of the country, according tt telegrams and lettesS that are pourin; into my office daily.
 Predict Solid West
 In view of his consistent fight fol the farmers the west will go solidly fo LaFollette. The plank in his platform on farm conditions expresses clearl! and unfavorably the will of the Amer ican farmers. Since President Coolidg has been in office he has done nothin; to relieve the great number of bank rupt farmers of the west.
 Davis, the attorney of J. P. Morgan the money king of America. whose finan cial activities have been largely instru mental in destroying agricultural facili ties, certainly cannot be classed as ; friend of the farmers
 The progressive platform on whicI Senator LaFOllette is seeking the presi dency undoubtedly will alarm the posse of the republican and democrat parties who failed to meet squarely the req issues in their platforms
