Nelson Plans Freelance Line for La Follette Cause
Wisconsin Congressman John M. Nelson outlines a freelance plan for the La Follette campaign. The January meeting will set a program to retain the independent movement, build organization, and back progressive candidates in congressional elections while avoiding a separate ticket. The plan may tilt toward an independent push in 1928 if two major parties diverge, with the goal of strengthening the La Follette network nationwide.
