La Follette plans a whirlwind fall campaign in the east
La Follette and running mate discuss strategy and funding needs likely totaling two million dollars for campaign work and outreach. They expect limited public speeches initially with a push in the east, including New York City, before broader campaigning later, while Wheeler eyes New England and midwest states. Davis, amid seclusion in Islesboro, resumes work on correspondence and studio tasks, learning late that Wheeler sought the vice presidential nomination alongside La Follette. Meanwhile, a burglary attempt ends in death as A T Walters is shot by Campbell Inc secretary Roland Campbell during a yard break-in in Chicago.
