Independent La Toilette electors

the Wisconsin Senator's name as a
candidate for the presidency, d. c..
Dorman of Helena, Montana, La Fol-
lette manager for Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Montana, said
here today. This, he added, is in ac-
-cordance with the expressed desire
of Senator La Toilette.
; The question of what will be done
by the four electoral candidates of
the republican party, who were NAM
ed in the March primary as La Fol-
lette men, may be decided by action
OF the La Toilette organization con-
ference to be held here this after
noon.
+. "As a matter of protection,
should rot favor the resignation of
these electoral candidates, if they are
La Toilette men, until we have COM
pleted the legal steps necessary to
place independent electoral candi-
dates in the individual column" said
Mr.. Dorman. "Of course, the matter
is for the candidates themselves to
decide"
+. A. Vogel, chairman of the tenn
porary La Toilette campaign commit
tee, predicted the conference would
take no action toward requesting the
-FOUR La Toilette electors in the re-
publican column to withdraw, saying

In Wisconsin, Mr.. Dorman said,
Senator La Toilette had requested his
electoral candidates be placed on the
ballot as independents, and the repu-
blican column was turned over to the
Coolidge forces to fill. In Montana,
he said, there are five La Toilette
electoral candidates named on the
Farmer-Labor ticket, but independent
La Toilette electoral candidates will
be placed in the individual column.
The forces gathering here this
morning for the La Toilette organi-
cation conference included many men
prominent in politics in the state,
among them Ole Knutson of Grand
Forks, chairman Of the Nonpartisan
league state committee; N. H. Dimond
of Grand Forks, lieutenant of A. G.
Sorlie, league candidate for COVER
nor; Senator d. H. Hamilton of Nc
Henry county, Herman Hardt of Ma
poleon, Roy Frazier of Crosby, Ger
aid 'Nye Of Cooperstown, William
Lemke of Fargo and Stephen Ter
horst of Donnybrook.
Organization Plan
= The meeting was solely for the
purpose Of naming permanent La
Toilette campaign committee and set
ting the machinery in motion in the
state, Mr.. Vogel said. Asked whether
the Nonpartisan league and La Fol-
lette campaigns would be conducted
jointly, he said they probably would
be conducted separately. Following
an address by Mr.. Dorman, outlining
the La Toilette national campaign
plans, the conference was to get
busy with the organization program.
The plan of campaign in North Da-
kota, from a national standpoint, is
somewhat uncertain as yet, Mr.. Dor
man said. Senator La Toilette is not
likely to speak in North Dakota, but
Senator Wheeler his running mate,
will make most of the states, he said.
