LaFollette Triumph in Wisconsin Primary
Wisconsin Republican Senator Robert LaFollette crushed opponent Ganfield in a landslide renomination. A long time stalwart free spirit, he defied Old Guard lines, clashed with administrations from Roosevelt to Harding, and built strength through pro progressive stands and outspoken pacifism even as party leaders alternately opposed and then depended on his vote. The latest primary underscored his unmatched political endurance and influence.
