LaFollette will immediately launch a campaign of opposition to the ‘Republican and Democratic nominees setting himself up with the endorsement of the convention —not.as a third: party candida! but. as an: indeperident bound to no other. party. 2. The national committee of the convention will call upon LaFollette after the Democratic convention ts conciided and ask him to name his vice presidential candidate who then will receive their endorsement. 3.
