LAF0[LETTE MAY
QUIT PRECEDENT
Prepares Set Speech for New
York Instead of Usual Ex-
temporaneous Effort.

Friends OF Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette are wondering whether he
will adopt a new style of campaign
ing when he delivers his first address
to an audience since announcing his
candidacy for presidency, at a rally
tomorrow night in Madison Square
Garden, New York City.
In campaigns of the past, in the
Senate and on the chautauqua plat
form, the Wisconsin Senator has
usually spoken without a manuscript
or even notes. He familiarized him
self thoroughly with his subject, then
spoke extemporaneously, as rule,
for two or more hours at a stretch.
On Labor day, when he was allotted
half an hour on the radio for the
lbroadcasting of an address, he pre-
pared his remarks in advance, and
read from manuscripts task which
he said later proved difficult when
at certain junctureS he felt an urge
10 lnterpolate some additional OBJ
serva tions.
For nearly a week Senator La Fol-
lette has been preparing the address
he intends to deliver in New York
lie is working it out carefully, and
there have been Indications that he
expects to stick to the text rather
closely during delivery.
His intimates, however. are predict
ing that as he warns up to his task he
Will discard his manuscript and launch
into an extemporaneouS discussion of
campaign issues.
Even should he digress from the text
it Is expected that the candidate will
follow rather closely the thought and
structure of the prepared address, which
he is shaping up with such care that
he will be familiar with all points
emphasized in it.
Close friends of Senator La Toilette
said today he is in excellent physical
condition for his effort tomorrow night,
and they predict he will make one of his
characteristic speeches punctuated with
distinctive gestures. They expect him
to speak for about two hours
The Senator put the finishing touches
on his address today. He does not in
tend to leave for New York until to-
morrow, and probably will reach the
metropolis only d few hours before the
lime set for his address

Saftey doors not being entirely
