46 LA FOLLETTE SEES - VICTORY SURGING “Irresistible Ground Swell” in Progress, View at Head- quarters Here. LY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. It would send cold shivers up the spine of other candidates to visit lette headquarters in Wash- nd hear the talk that is n there these days. Progres- pokesmen, claiming the au- authority of “inside information” from trusted scouts, assert that a political revolution is in the making that is destined to stagger the nation. |~ They scorn such thoughts as merely throwing the presidential election into the House. They laugh at Chair- man Butler's suggestion that they are conspiring with the Democrats in doubtful states. They have abandon- ed their original purpose of merely laying the foundations of a new radical party. Their avowed object now—and they assert it is going to be achieved—is to capture the presi- dency on November 4 and place Robert Marion La Foliette in the White House on March 4, 1925, When the inquirer has recovered consciousness and sought for Progres- to justify ruch prospects ured they exist in plenty. | s to be elected in con strength in both the industrial and agricultural regions._In manufactur- g centers like New York, New Jer- sey.

"}Is support in industrial scctions will come mainly from Democratic quar- ters. In the farming country it will be derived from elements (hat are normally Republican. The actual support of Senator Brookha nd the “moral sympathy” of Senators Borah and Norris are claimed for La Follette. “Inspirational” Appeal. Another vaunted source of La Fol- lette strength, which the Senator's friends contend is denied either of his opponents, is his “inspirational” and “emotional” appeal.

The Pro- gressive candidate’s representatives say he will “make good” on his alle- gation that the Republicans are “buy- ing the election.” They recall that it was La Follette who started the in- quiriés that eventuated in the oil scandals. “He knows now, just as he did then, what he is talking about,” is the way La Follette people in ‘Washington refer to the impending campaign-barrel probe. ‘The “minimum” which La Follette- ites claim is the eight or nine West- ern States usually assoclated with ive possibilities.

Nobody could get in without paying for places at prices ranging from 50 cents to $2 apiece. The hall was packed. There was an immense overflow meeting. Then, to cap the climax, the hat was passed at the meeting in the armory and another $2,000 was raised.
