LAFOLLETTE CANDIDATE?
Safe To Asrame He Will Be* Always
Hns Been, Says Sam Blythe
Without having any specific knowl
edge on the subject, it is fair enough
to assume that Senator LaFollette
will be a candidate for President in
1924. He always has been; why not
now? The habits of a political life
time do not easily change.
And the dangers cf his candidacy,
as a republican, have been written
off by the leaders of the party. They
know what to expect. Senator LaFol
lette was against President Harding.
Naturally, he will be against Presi
dent Coolldge. He didn't get along
with President Roosevelt, and he
couldn't abide President Taft. Really,
about the only person with whom
SenatcT LaFollette is on terms of
agreement Is himself.
It is likely that LaFollette will
have some delegates in the republican
canvention next year. He is sure to
have Wisconsin, and may pick up
some elsewhere;* probably will. It
doesn’t seem likely that he will get
enough. And that, of course, will
leave him with sufficient grievance
to engineer a third party movement
if he feels so Inclined and If the thing
looks propitious.
This Isn't saying the aenator will’
engineer a third party movement,
with himself or any other as a can
didate. He has continued, in the of
ficial listings of the Senate, since 1905,
when he came to that body as a re
publican. He is so marked today.
