Senator Robert N. La Toilette,

who bolted the Republican party in
the 1924 Presidential elections, will
Be admitted to full Republican

learned today, as result Of a
compromise reached by Admins

said, was agreed upon after Senator

spokesmen for President Coolidge,
withdrew his opposition to La

willing to admit La Toilette to the
Republican ranks for the present,
but insists on his punishment II
he bolts the party on any strictly
partisan issue.
Senator James e. Watson RepJ

against La Toilette. was reported
however as opposing the COM
promise. Watson was said to feel
la Follette's speeches in his Sen
atoriaI campaign, which included
attacks on the President, were SUI

the party. Watson stood virtually
alone in his opposition.
