La Follette Opens National Campaign Headquarters
In Chicago Rep John W Nelson of Wisconsin led La Follette forces to open national headquarters for the presidential campaign with Phillip La Follette present. Nelson indicated a primarily national focus and discussed endorsements for congressional candidates while avoiding entanglements with state campaigns. Minnesota Senator Shipstead and other supporters voiced optimism about La Follette's chances, noting the potential for an electoral college victory and possible vice presidential considerations. A separate Illinois report notes a son fatally shooting his father in Dixon.
