FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1924. WILL SUPPORT LAFOLLETTE Lead of gee to Be Followed by Col- league, Report. WASHINGTON, July 18.—Sen- ator Ladd, Republican, North Da- kota, sald today that he intended to support the La Follette presidential campaign in his own state, “with- out leaving the Republican party. “I am a Republican—a progres- siv Republican—as are most ef the people of my. state,” said Senator Ladd. -“The Republican ticket is the one we generally support, and that is what I shall do In this cam- aign. However, the people of North Dakota are not averse to dis- regarding an individual machine candidacy on the Repnbifcan ticket when it js necessary. They will vote for La Fofette at the rate ¢é about 2 te 1 for anyone else, ard there is no doubt that my vote will be cast along with theirs. Senator Frazier of North Dakota, Senator Ladd’s colleague, also list- ed as a Republican, has previously announced his intention to support the La Follette campaign, by at- tending the Cleveland convention which endorsed La Follette’s candl- @acy. Senator Frazier and Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, will address a political rally here tomor- row night in behalf of the Wiscon- sin candidate. LA FOLLETTE’S QUPPORTERG GD INTO MEETING ‘WASHINGTON, July 18.—Deter- mined efforts were made today by some of the followers of Senator La Follette to induce Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, to reconsider his refusal to run for vice president on the LaFollette independent ticket. Some of those-who were in touch with Mr. Wheeler appeared confident late today that he would consent to become Senator La Follette’s run- ning mate, despite his previous un- qvalified announcement that he . Would refuse. The Montana senator himself re- fused to make any statement on the subject. He already has announced ‘he would support Mr. LaFollette, WASHINGTON, July 18.—Con- + fronted with the task of perfecting a national ¢ampaign organization and of selecting a vice presidential candidate, more than a score of Senator LaFollette’s chief supporters gathered here today for a series of conferences. ‘Today's meeting was an outgrowth of the convention two weeks ago in Cleveland of the conference for Progressive political action which, after endorsing the Wisconsin sen- ator in independent candidate for President, left selection of his run- ning mate to the national commit- ‘tee, made up for the snost part of representatives of labor and farm organizations. Members of the committee went into the conference today with a dozen or ‘more names advanced by committee members before them. Senator LaFollete, who has indicated he would leave the selection to the committee, was understood to look with favor on any one of a half a dozen, and several have been ap- proached indirectly to ascertain whether they would accept an en- dorsement. Among those who have been un- der consideration by Senator La- Follette and his advisers are Asso- ciate Justice Brandeis, of the su- preme court; Huston Thompson, chairman of the federal trade com- mission; John J. McSparren, mas- ter of the Pennsylvania State Grange; Peter Wipp, one time can- didate for mayor of Cleveland; James Maurer, president of the Pennsyl- vania State Federation of Labor; Governor Sweet of Colorado; Bishop Francis McConnell, of the Methodist Episcopal church; Federal Judge George W. Anderson, of Boston, and Senator Wheeler of Montana. Mr. Wheeler, however, hag ellmin- oe chimself by announcing he ‘ould not accept the endorsement nd. while Justice Brandeis is un- derstood to be looked on with par ticular favor by Senator LaFollette, doubt was expressed whether he would hé willing to resign from the Supreme court. Determination of the LaFollette organization to make a strong bid for votes in the south was shown in the. announcement by Representa- tive John W. Nelson, Wisconsin campaign manager for Senator La Follette, that campaign headquar- ters would be opened in New Or- leans, Subordinate to the main of+ fices in Chicago, headquarters prob- ably will be opened in New York City and in San Francisco, Repre- sentative La Guardia, republican, New York, has been asked to mak Preliminary arrangements for the tern offices while the work on the Pacific coast probably will be entrusted to Rudolph Spreckles. On his arrival, Mr. Nelson went ito conference with members of the ational committee, planning to confer with Senator La Follette later. He predicted that the LaFollette ticket would be placed on the ballot in every state although he admitted that some dbstacles were being en- countered.

SMALL. (Copyright, 1924, Carper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 18.—National Democratic leaders gathered here, including John W. Davis, the prest- dential candidate of the party, «were neither alarmed nor disturbed by the annouficement that Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, had “‘bolt- ed” the Democratic ticket and would henceworth walk under the banner of Senator LaFollette on all nation- al Yssues. The leaders say ft was a perfectly natural thing for Senator Wheeler to do for his mind has ran along with LaFollette’s ever since he entéred public life and his being carried records as a Democrat just ¢ aboit the same as LaFol- istte belng recorded as a Repubil- can Republican. leaders, including Nat- jonal Chairman Butler, were in- clined to-be a bit jubilant over the Wheeler announcement and contend- ed it had q distinct bearing on their previous statements that LaFollette would cut as heavily into Demo- cratic ranks he would in the G. O. P. This of course, the Demo- crats deny and they say that when the so-called “Progressive-Republi- cans” in the senate begin to quit the regular Republican ticket and begin to cast their lots with LaFol- lette, the single defection from the Democratic ranks in, the upper chamber will be all but forgotten, Senator Brookhart, of Iowa; Nor- ris of Nebrasak; Ladd and Frazier of North Dakota, are among those the Democrats expect to declare for LaFollette before the campaign grows much older. The Repubticans say’ that Senator Dill of Washing- ton, a Progressive- Democrat, will also go over to LaFollette. This taunting back and forth be- tween the* leaders of the two old parties is ikely to go on for some time, but as @ matter of fact, they say the LaFollette force is develop- ing along exactly the lines expected. They say he has gained no strength from one’ side or the other, but on the other hand has been handicapped quite a bit by ‘the enthusiasm with which he has been taken up by the Socialists, The unqualified endorse- ment of LaFollette by Eugene V. Debs was viewed wtih evident sat- infaction in both “Democratic and Republican camps. ‘The “redder” the old party camps can paint the LaFollette movement the better they will lke it. They will attempt to show it “Is merely a rallying place for all the discontented elements in American life; the abiding place of the “unde- sirables," and in this way they hope to hold the Republicanism and Dem- DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE HOT SHAKEN BY WHEELER'S: BOLT; BEING MAPPED OUT can be laid at the door of LaFol- lette influence. The Coolidge organization frank- ly expected the Democrats to nomi- nate someone who would have made the east solidly Republican “and would have permitted them to give thelr undivided attention to the central stretches of the country and far weet. The Republicans had ex- pected to maintain a “branch head- quarters” rere In New_York with a small working force in charge, With the nomination of Mr. Davis, however, -plans suddenty were changed. The Republicans. already have leased two floors of the bul! ing at No. 2 West Forty-sixth Street and are likely to take more space as the campaign progresse It still is proposed to have ‘great headquartera” in Chicago, but the establishment in New York will be almost equally pretenious and Chairman Butler expects to spend a large part of his time here. The Democrats are certain to have their headquartgrs in the east and feel that their success will lie in cap- turing some of the eastern states with large electora! votes and add to the “solid south.” They ate hope: ful at the same time that Senator LaFollette may cut so deeply into Republican ranks in the west as to give the Democrats. ‘a fighting chance in states normally Republi can. In any event, the west is re- garded as a fighting place for the Republicans and the radicals, the Democrats being perfectly willing to act as residuary legatees of what is left when the battling is done. . Candidate Davis wil! spend much of his time around, New York. Presi- dent Coolidge will remain in Wash- ington. Mr. Davis probably will make a swing through the west but will not devote any too much time to that task. The interest ofethe campaign will lle largely on the east. Even the La- Follette people aré talking about making a showing here. DRWING IT HOME {Continued from Page One) is being done in this state to speed up production and find more oil.

His chief dependence in the inquiry was the notorious Gaston B, Means, in- ternational spy and investigator, who boarter that although he had been accused of every crime in the calendar, he had never been con- victéd. That proud record now has been broken, however, for since the senate adjourned, Means has been convicted in the federal courts here an sentenced to two years in the At- lanta penitentiary.
