Phil LaFollette was defeated in 1938 by a wave of resentment against him, personally, and against the peculiar Natiopal Progressive Party which he launched that spring with suspiciously fascist trappings and ideological rhetoric. Phil denied that his movement had | any fascist aims, but veteran La- Follette leaders refused to have anything to do with it just the same. William T. Evjue, two-fisted | editor of The Madison Capital Times, official daily of the LaFol- lette organization, openly assailed Phil and the NPP. This widespread Phil still is prévalent ously, is being taken out on Bob. Definitely abetting this is the known fact that Bob is swayed politically by his flashy younger brother. Privately, Bob did not approve| of the National Progressive Party plan. But when Phil insisted on going through with it Bob did not demur. Bob may yet skin through the election on November 5, but if he does he'll know he has been through the toughest fight of his 15-year senatorial career. feeling against and, curi- COUGHLIN AND MICHIGAN DETROIT—A once shrill and widely feared voice is silent in thc ' j the hustings of Michigan. | within an ace of winning the Dem- | Here the Democrats have a real Father Charles Coughlin whose radio bom- bardment and presidential ticket in 1936 had politicos literally talk- ing to themselves, now is both off the air and, politically, at flat as a pancake.

It is on its toes. And it is fighting mili- tantly for the national and state ticket against concededly tougn odds Credit for this belongs largely to Chairman Fred Bays, one of the most colorful figures in Am- erican politics, Handsome, dapper | ‘dynamic, " Bays is a former showman and circus owner, who applies to the political arena all| the hoopla and zing necessary to his former profession. Bays' basic belief is that the way to win votes is to entertain folks.| He tours the hustings with a troupe of circus and vaudeville per- formers whom he carefully hearses daily. He also writes the script for the half-hour barn dance which he stages and broadcasts with a cast of 65. Tickets, given away free, are at a premium. Bays' shows go off like clock- work. Several hours before a per- formance, the ornately painted truck of the State Committege pulls up, a crew of decorators with bunting, pictures and sound equip- ment takes charge of the hall, and the actors go through a rehearsal. On the dot of schedule the show opens. Bays makes a brief political talk and the performance begins, closing with a boy soprano sing- ing “God Bless America.” This wows them. Bays' drive and talents so im- pressed Henry Wallace, when he campaigned in Indiana, that he tried to get the ex-circus man to|, manage his own campaign. In fact, Bays has attracted the attention of Roosevelt and other leading Democrats who are not averse to naming him as successor to Na- tional Chairman Ed Flynn if and when Ed steps out after the elec- tion.
