FARMER NOT AID
IN ORGANIZATION
OF THIRD PARTY
International Labor Unions
Excluded From LaFollette
Convention All Except
Own Followers
RADICALS IN POWER
BAN SOIL TILLERS
Blacklist Includes Their De-
fenders in Congress
LaFollette was entered in the race
for President by an aggregation of na-
tional and international labor unions
The public and particularly the farm-
er hud no voice whatever In his so-
called nomination There has existed
for over three years an organization
known as the Conference for Progres-
sive Political Action composed of 16
or IS national and International labor
unions the majority of them railway
labor organizations
The officers of this Conference for
Progressive Political Action are on
the whole the national and internation-
al officers of the lubor organizations
composing the conference The chair-
man or president of this conference
Is William Johnston president of the
International Machinists' union and
the director of the railroad strike in
1022 Mr Johnston was recently can-
didate for governor of Rhode Island
on the Socialist ticket The headquar-
ters of this conference Is In the Ma-
chinists’ building Washington D C
a building owned by the International
Machinists
This conference held Its annual
meeting in St Louis In Febniary 1024
adopted a platform pledged Itself to
launch a third party and adjourned
to meet in Cleveland July 4 for that
purpose The convention In Cleveland
on July 4 was therefore nothing but
the adjourned meeting of the Confer-
ence for Progressive Political Action
The delegates to the Cleveland conven-
tion were merely delegates from the
labor organizations comprising the
Conference for Progressive Political
Action plus a few scattering dele-
gates from the Socialist party and a
few radical organizations such as the
Ldngue for Industrial Democracy The
Conference for Progressive Political
Action established its own rules re-
garding whom It would admit as dele-
gates and these rules were so framed
that no one not in hearty accord with
the views of the labor organizations
comprising the conference was admit-
ted Out of approximately 1000 del-
egates less than 25 were farmers or
representatives of alleged farmer pr-
ganizntlons The officers of the Conference for
Political Action were the officers of
the convention William Johnston So-
cialist leader was the temporary and
also the permanent ehalrman After
organizing the eonvention a resolution
was drawn up and sent tor Senutor La-
Follctte asking him to lead In a fight
for a third party Not a single farmer
or representative of a bona fide farm-
er organization signed this petition
The so-called platform adoptpd at
this convention offers absolutely noth-
ing to the farmer It consisted prac-
tically altogether of a recital of the
alleged grievances of organized labor
and a demand for the enactment of
their legislative program Not a farm-
er was a member of any of the com-
mittees of this convention neither the
committee on resolutions nor creden-
tials nor organization nor nomina-
tions The chairman of each of these
committees wns an official of some in-
ternational labor organization Tit
personnel of these committees were
either officials high In International
railway labor organizations or officials
high In the Socialist party and other
radical organizations
The convention went on record In
beliulf of the candldncy of LaFollette
LaFollette was officially notified of his
nomination by a committee appointed
by Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and no member of
this committee was a farmer LaFol-
lette acknowledged his nomination in
the form of a letter addressed not to
the people of the United States or
the farmers of the United States but
to the American Federation of Labor
The campaign Committee handling
the LaFollefe-Wheeler movement Is
the National Committee of the Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac-
tion plus a number of Socialists The
addition of Socialists to this commit-
tee was demanded by the Socialist
party as the price of their support of
the ticket This demand wns mnde
ut u meeting of the committee-held In
Washlngjon July 21 nt which time
representatives of the Socialist pnrty
were present nnd insisted that they
be given 10 per cent of the commit-
tee Their demand wns granted
There Is un executive committee of 10
bundling the Inside stuff of the La-Foilette-Wheeler
campaign No farm-
er Is on this committee The cam-
paign headquarters of the LaFnllette-
Wheeler movement Is 408 Machinists’
building Washington D C
Tlie Conference for Progressive Po-
litical Action Issues a weekly publica-
tion known as Labor The farmer
bus no part In It It Is mnnngvd and
edited wholly by representative! of
'labor organizations It la their offl-
Lclul campaign publication
delegations of 20 states while 23 state
delegations have Republican majori-
ties In 5 other states the repre-
sentation Is evenly divided and those
states would liuve no vote to cast
Those states are Maryland Montana
Nebraska New Hampshire and ilew
Jersey
Soma Not Regular
The 23 states showing n nominal Re-
publican mnjorlty might not all vote
for Coolidge There are a few where
the Republicanism of some representa-
tives Is open to question nnd if La-
Fullette should carry those states It
Is not unlikely that their votes In the
house would go to LaFollette despite
the Republican label borae by such
congressmen Should any of these
states vote for LnFollette or If the
stutes should vote as they line up
on paper — 20 Democratic 23 Repub-
lican and 5 unable to vote no
choice could be made as 25 states are
needed to elect the President
Attention would then center on the
senate Here the state rule does not
apply Euch senator of the 96 has
a separate vote For a quorum two-
thirds of the 06 must be present or
64 and for a choice of vice president
a bare majority 'or 4!) Is necessary
However In the senate only two
candidates for vice president having
the highest showing In the electoral
college may be voted for and this
would narrow the choice down to Gen-
eral Duwcs nnd Governor Bryan
Present Situation Important
As the present senate would select
the situation Hi ore now Is important
There are nominally 51 Republican
senators but this number includes La-
Follette of Wisconsin and-Brookhurt
of Iowa nnd others who of lute have
selfuni voted with the Republicans
Fofly-tliree senators are listed ns
Democrats nnd two Ladd and Frazier
are listed as Farmer-Lahorites
If Bryan can hold the 43 Democratic
senators In line mid get the votes of
the two Farmer-Labor senators this
would give him u nucleus of 45 votes
By securing four of the so-called Re-
publicans such as Brookhurt and La-
Follette this mnjorlty would put into
the White House a mun for whom the
American people had not voted for
President and who v ould be a minor-
ity choice
If Bryan could secure only the 43
Democratic senators the two Farmer-
Lubor senators and three such men
as LnFollette the election would be
deadlocked and the country thrown
into a state of chaos never before
faced Throwing the election into the
congress would of itself have a terrific
effect upon business and industry the
country over causing a wave of de-
pression which would affect everyone
as this would cause months of uncer-
tainty before a choice by the congress
was attempted- If on top of this the
senate should get into a deadlock aa
the house it certain to the depres-
sion might easily became a panic with
terrific and far-reaching reeulta
Other Possibilities
There Is the outside chance In the
event of Coolidge falling to receive a
majority of the electoral votes that
when the matter came to the Semite
such Democrats as Glass of Vlrginlu
Bruce of Maryland and Underwood of
Alabama would vote for General
Dawes the Kepublican nominee rather
than put such u man as Bryan In the
White House
A large body of thought In the
United States holds to the opinion that
the whole purpose of LaFollette Is
to throw the election Into the con-
gress where he and his followers
probably would wield the balance of
power and this small group would
name the next President of the United
Stutes' Naturally this would put that
President under heavy obligation to
the LaFollette group anil he as its
leader would exercise tremendous
power even though his followers rep-
resent the smallest fraction of the
makeup of the United States senute
The summing up of the situation
Is this:
Voting for LaFollette is voting for
Bryan
Voting for Davis by the same an-
alysis Is voting for Bryan
Voting for Coolidge Is voting for
Coolidge
Wbmen Not Swayed
by False Pledges
They Believe Firmly in Cool-
idge Says Mrs Alvin T
Hert National Leader
Republican women are not allow-
ing their emotions to run away with
them There will be no split in their
ranks Promises held out by LaFol-
lette and the Socialist-Third party
hold no appeal for them They will
vote for Coolidge This is the manner
in which Mrs Alvin T Hert vice chair-
man of the Republican National Com-
mittee sums up the outlook for No-
vember 4th
Mrs Hert says that without excep-
tion reports of Republican national
commltteewomen from every state nre
tlie same In one respect They nil
sny that women nre for Coolidge be-
cause they believe In him ns a man
They know of the high principles for
which he stands They have watched
his record during the post year nnd
see that he is a man of conviction
itnd nt nil times stands for that which
he thinks Is for the good of the majority-
They say thnt women appre-
ciate his firm stand for an economical'
administration— the fact that he has
evaded no issue compromised no prin-
ciple They know that President
Coolidge nnd the Republican party
stand for protection This means
much to the woman In industry and
