Farmer Linked to Third Party Labor Alliance
A lengthy critique asserts that La Follette’s 1924 presidential bid was organized by the Conference for Progressive Political Action, a coalition of 16 to 18 national and international unions led by William Johnston. It claims farmers had no voice, that delegates were dominated by labor and Socialist officials, and that the movement served unions and radicals rather than agricultural interests.
