WISCONSIN AN "CAMPAIGN 1S ON La Follette's Drive for White Houge Assuges Form Washington, July 18.-—Benator La- Follette's independent eandidacy for the president began to assume more definite outline today when a group of his principal followers gathered here to consider plans for a Aghting campaign, A part of the task of the confer- ence was selection of a running mate for La Iollette but as the discussions proceeded it hecame doubtful wheth. er that would be decided before to morrow, Objections have been made to some of the men most often mentloned for the vice-presidential nomination and the conferees put the problem aside for the moment and went ahead with detalled preparations for the cam- palgn, Under a tentative plan discussed, headquarters for the La Follette move ‘ment would be opened in New York, San Francisco and New Orleans, all under the direction of the.central of- fice in Chicago, so as to Insure a na- tionwide effort to bring Into camp all possible elements of strength, As a part of the ggneral scheme of organization a compact national com- mittee with a representative in every state, will be put to work under the Kuldance of a smaller strategy board ovér which Mr. La Follette is expected to preside, Despite legal difficulties encountered in some places the La Follette managers still hope to put lils name on the ballot in evry estate, The meeting here today was pri- marlly a gathering of the national committee of the conference for pro- gressive political actlon, which en- dorsed Senator La Follette at fts Cleveland convention earlier this month. In addition to the members of this committee, however, various leaders in sympathy with the move. | ment were called in with a view to perfecting an all-inclusive campaign organization, Neither Senator La I7ollette nor his son, Robert, who has been in active charge of the earlier stages of his father's candidacy, attended the mesting. The views of the candidate on several subjects were however, by Representative John M. Nelson of Wisconsin, one of the Sen- ator's chief licutenants in his home state and by Basil Manly, associated with Mr. La Follette in several po- litical organizations. The decision to delay selection of a vice-presidential candidate was un- derstood to have the full approval of Senator La Follette, who recognized the difficulties of the situation and favored going ahead first with the de- tails of organization. It i8 expected, however, that a cholce will be announced hefore the conference dissolves torzorrow night or Sunda In theirfeasting about for a run- ning mate for the senator his sup- portérs“have sought to find « man who would be equally acceptahle to arganized labér and to agriculture, which constitute two of the principal groups to which appeals will be made for support. The discussion has de- veloped that the views'of these two groups have not always run parallel in the past, and in some cases poten- tial candidates satisfactory to the la- bor leaders are not considered suffi- clently sympathtic with while the lahor records of one or two of the men endorsed by farm organi- zation spokesmen are not all that could be desired. Every confldence was expressed to- day by all elements in the conference, however, that it wonld he found pos- sible ultimately to center upon a can- You may scour the entire city, but we're certain you’ll not find the equal of such high quality Footwear at such radical reductions.
