Old Parties Prepare for La Follette Rally in Des Moines
Des Moines Aug 8. La Follette movement aims to peak in the Midwest with a Des Moines convention Aug 16 led by C. Lewis and featuring La Follette’s sons Robiam M. La Follette Jr. or Phillip. Plans call for a Progressives slate on the general election ballot under that heading. A brisk three‑way campaign is expected with Dawes possible visit and both parties urged to educate voters about 1920 gains.
