La Follette Plans Western Tour With Progressive Bloc
Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin announced a wide traveling program for an extensive western to Pacific tour early this summer.

The journey, aligned with President Harding's planned swing to Alaska, positions La Follette to influence key issues, including the world court tariff transportation and farm relief, and to discuss numerous problems facing Americans.
