ator Robert NJ. La Toilette today
declared he will have nothing to do
with the so-callcd tilird party con
vention at st. Paul, June l..
He urged his friends to stay
away, giving as his reason, the
participation in the ST. Paul con
vcntion of Communist organiza-

made clear that after both old par
ty conventions have been held, I'M

La Follette's statement today

consin, as follows:
my dear Ekern:
81 have your letter of May II,
saying that many of my friends in
Wisconsin are anxious TO know my
attitude toward the 'FarmerLabor-
Progressive convention called to
meet at St. Paul, June 18th.
u should not feel ii incumbent
upon me to declare my attitude eX-
cent that my name is being used
bv the promoters of that convention
in such way as to convey the I'M
preston that it has my approval
and as a result some of my friends
in different parts of t1c country
contemplate attending the St. Paul
convention. Because of these facts
I feel it my duty to state mg view
frankly.
''In my Judgment the June IL
convention will not command the
support of the farmers, the workers
or other Progressivcs because those
who have had charge of the ar
rangements for this convention,
have committed :he fatal error OF

THIRD PARTY CONVENTION, JUNE II

making the Communists an integ-
raj part of their organization.
F. Avowed Communists
1.-The Communist organization III
America thus acting under orders
from the Communist Internationale
at Moscow, will not only participate
in the St. Paul convention on June
Il, but has already secured stra-
tegic position in the direction of
the convention. G. a. Halfway the
sccrctarv-trcasurer of the commit
tee on arrangements for the st.
Paul convention is an avowed Com
munist and was Il delegate to its
third national convention, held in
Chicago December so, 1928. All
credentials for the st. Paul con
vention are made returnable TO
Halfway rs secretary and as treas
urer, he controls his funds.
"Joseph Manlcy, son-in-law of
William Il. Foster and an avowed
Communist, is also member Of the
committee on arrangements. Al
though the national Communist or
ganization as such may be granted
only five delegates in the ST. Paul
convention, the basis of representa-
tion adopted is lending itself to
their purpose TO control.
- Reposing complete confidence
in the soundness of the deliberate
judgment of the American people
! have no apprehension that the
Communist party can ever COM
mand any considerable support in
this country. do not question
their right under the constitution.
to submit their issues to the people
but / most emphaticallv protest
against, their being admitted into
the councils of any body of Pro
gressive voters.
~ have devoted many years of
nv life in an effort to solve the
problems which confront the Amc-
rican people by the ballot and not
bv force. l believe that the people
through the ballot can completely
control their government in every
branch and compel il TO serve them
effectively. I have fought stead
fastlv to achieve this end and l
shall not abandon this fight as
long as l may live. I believe that
all Progressives should. Tetuse to
participate in any movement
which makes common cause with
any Communist organization.
