Party to woo progressives at Democratic convention
Washington June 17 definite signs of an administration effort to woo Senate and other progressives at the Democratic national convention follow up on talks of a possible third party. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin said a conference of progressives would be held after the convention to decide actions for November. A floor fight over the two thirds rule looms as Farley and allies push for a majority vote rule. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma warned a third party could rise if the party fails a liberal money policy. Representative Lemke of North Dakota said it should not surprise anyone if a large faction aligns with Father Coughlin Townsend and share-the-wealth supporters.
