La Follette threatens independent run over party reform
Senator Robert M. La Follette urged both Republicans and Democrats to purge themselves of what he called communist influence or face an independent bid for president. In a May letter from Atlantic City to Wisconsin Attorney General Ekern, he denounced the Communist movement's attempt to control the Farmer-Labor-Progressive convention set for June 17 at St Paul. He warned that without reform, voters may rally an independent effort to take back government control.
