Following his stunning attack on communist control of the approach j no Farmer labor party convention i at St. Paul scheduled for june 17. I senator la Follette today moved one i step nearer to casting distance of the a presidential ring into which he is sex j petted to throw his Independent hat. I this is indicated by the announcement of the formation of a a via Follette for president a organization fit Chicago with some of the Wisconsin senator close friends in charge and by the announcement by Samuel Gompers president of the american federation of i Abor denouncing the St. Paul convention. No reference appears in the Gompers statement to the la Follette announcement but Tho two follow each other so closely that co ordination clearly suggested. A american labor has Given no support to the St. Paul convention a Gompers tells his followers. A a the executive officers of the National Farmer labor party realizing the danger of the situation have called upon All progressive Farmers and Trade unionists to abandon the Farmer labor party for the time being and to support by every honorable Means the Laws principles and i it old cies of the american federation of labor in its non partisan political Campaign. Shun it Tho convention As you would and should shun a band of political or. Gompers further charged the St. Paul convention with being a a plot to trick you into injuring the labor movement and undermining our National this blast from the federation of labor gives no indication of plans to support la Follette for president but a close working arrangement Between the Wisconsin senator and labor leaders gives reason to believe there is a concerted purpose either to support the democratic candidate for president should he be acceptable or Back la Follette on an Independent and a non partisan ticket which would be heralded a the starting of a a a Liberal party movement in the United states. La Follette boosters Hae club announcement of the formation of a la Follette for president organization in Chicago bolsters the theory that la Follette plans to enter the race next fall filing As an Independent candidate in every state. The men at the head of the organization give color to the belief that it was formed with both the knowledge and approval of the Wisconsin Leader. At its head is w. T. Raw Leigh. An Illinois manufacturer of medicines and a close Friend and supporter of the senator. It was raw Leigh who contributed a Large Check to the progressive movement started in Washington several months ago. Still another supporter is Dante Pierce publisher of the Iowa Homestead a Radical farm paper at Des j Moines and a Backer of senator i Brookhart still another Man at the j Helm of the organization is Donald j Reihberg an attorney for Standard Railroad Trade unions who has been actively engaged at Washington in furthering the enactment of the Powell Barkley Bill abolishing the present organization of the railway labor Board and other Railroad legislation. It is understood Here that senator la Follette Doe not desire to enter the presidential Campaign As a a class candidate nor does he propose to go before the country As anything but a a a sane progressive. It is pointed out that during the time la Follette has been a Leader in Wisconsin that state never enacted any so called soles Liri fic legislation for which North 1 Dakota became famous.
