PAGE FOUR | LA FOLLETTE (a BEING ASSAILED ASU. &. MENACE Both Parties Opening Up Guns Against Candidate. By ROBERT T. SMALI (Copyright ‘The Casper Tribune) 19.—A change <, July a ide of the leaders of the ‘ld parties toward the LaFollette movement in the last 4 hours, has given the senior senator, from’ Wis- nsin a much more prominent po- aition in the coming canvass. If this sort of “strategy” on the part of the democrats and republicans Ss continued, Mr. LaFollette will find them refdering him far greater as- sistance than he ever had any rea- xon to expect. Senator LaFollette has no thought of winning the presidency for him: self. He thought, however, of stirring up considerable trouble for both the elephant and the donkey and apparently, in this ambition, he already 1* having notable success. The republicans now are taking the ground that the LaFollette move- ment is a “menace to the country.” ‘The “menace” consists of the possi bility t Mr. LaFollette may ob- tain a sufficient number of electoral votes to prevent elther Calvin Coo: Madge or John W. Davis from getting the necessary majority of the elec- toral college. This would throw the election of a president in the present House of Representatives. It has been figured that a deadlock would ensue there, Thus it would devolve upon the senate to select a vice presl dent who, in turn, would become president just as if there had. been a death or other cause of vacancy in the office. The republicane further figure that the LaFollette strength in the sen- ate would go to Governor Charles W. Bryan, the democratic nominee for vice president, rather than to General Charles G. Dawes, the re publican nominee. Only these two could be voted for and the coalition of the democrats and radical repub. lieans would make the selection of Mr. Bryan certain. Republican strategists are taking the grqund that selection of Mr. Bryan is the real “menace” of the situation. Therefore, it is their plan of campfign to ask all ‘“‘conserva- tive" democrats everywhere to vote for Coolidge so ns to offset any possibility of Governor Bryan getting to the White House. They say there must be a coalition of conservative elements against the ‘LaFollette “menac A coalition that will give Mr. Coolidge a; majority of the elec: toral votes and avoid all the turmoil and uncertainty of a stalemate ‘elec- tion. The democrats are using the same sort of logic in tie intérests of Mr. Davis. They say that if thes con- servatives of the country are afraid of Governor Bryan, there is but one way possible:to kéep him out of the White House and that is_to vote so heavily for Davis and Bryan that Mr. Davis will win without the necessity of*the election going to congress for a decision, It also is argued that Mr. Davis is a young and_ vigorous man and has every chanfe in the world ‘to serve out not only one term, but two. The democrats are urging that if the Gonservatives vote for Coolidge, the election is sure to £0 to congress, Thus the strategists have figured the situation and It ts small wonder that the forces back of Senator La Follette are laughiige up their sleeves. A sudden fright seems to have seized the old party leaders and if their present state of mind is maintained, many of the ehfet ts sues of the campaign are likely to be lost sight of in thé beating of the drums against the LaFollette ‘men- ace." Such a campaign would be much to the liking of the stormy petrel from Wisconsih and his suppo believe it would add immeasurably to his strength In the northwestern states where his fight for electors is to be centered. In view of the prominence to be sivén this interesting angle of the campaign, there has béen much studying of the constitution by the purty leaders. Also there has been much discussion as to the mérits of ing a president and vice presi directly by the people rather Y the states. At the present » each state te entitled to the fame number of electors that it has representatives and senators in con grees. After the election, the suc: cessful electors meet in ach state and record thelr vote for president and vice president. The vote is then sent on to the presiding officer of the United States senate, who opens it in the ptestneé of both senat and house of representatives. ‘The constitution then goes on to provide: ‘The person having the greatest number of yotes for president shall be the president, if such fumb be & majority of the whole number of nt electors appointed; and 4f no such majority, then the persons having the higb- number, not exceeding three, on list of those voted for, as presi- dent, the house of represcentatives shall choose immediately by ballot, the president.

Also, altho he said he Was wanted in sev- eral casterh and mid-western oities for bold bandittles similar to those in California, he™has no police rec- ord. 3 Search of police gallery records fall to show that he ever has been “mugged” or finger-printed in con- nection with post crimes.
