LA FOLLETTE MAY ADDRESS HARVARD PROGRESSIVES SOON

Senator La Follette, Progressive candidate for President of the United States, or his son, Philip La Follette, are expected to speak to members of the University some time next month if the plans of the newly-formed La Follette-Wheeler Club of Harvard are successful.

The formation of this club in support of the progressive candidates has been expected since the opening of College. The entrance of this organization into the political field of the University, hitherto divided between the Republican and Democratic Clubs, marks the first attempt of Third-party followers to enter the campaign on the Yard. The remaining few weeks of the presidential campaign may see some lively interest and efforts on the part of men in the University.

First Meeting Monday Night

Under the temporary chairmanship of G. E. Brown 3L. and J. H. Weiss '25, a group of Harvard men are holding a meeting in the Faculty room of the Union, Monday night at 8 P. M., when the organization of the club will be completed. A Faculty member is being sought to address the meeting although no definite man has been obtained yet. George E. Roewer, campaign manager for Massachusetts, will speak.

Coolidge Chances Low in Law School

The club will hold at least one meeting a week, when outside speakers will talk of the political situation. It is proposed to contribute speakers from the University to the campaign in Massachusetts. Some have already talked in support of the candidates. Cooperation is planned by the club with the state committee which has its office at the American House in Boston. J. H. Weiss '25 is temporary treasurer of the new organization.

Calvin Coolidge, Republican candidate for President, is surprisingly lacking in support in the Law School according to G. E. Brown 3L., who says that the strength for La Follette and Davis is astounding. He interprets this as being the result of dislike by professional men of mediocrity. He also states that Professor Felix Frankfurter, Law '06, is supporting the La Follette-Wheeler movement.

It is understood that many of the members of the new club will come from the graduate schools, especially the law school, where liberal feeling is running high.

Brown a Third Party Delegate

Both Brown, who was a delegate to the Cleveland Conference which nominated Senator Robert M. La Follette, and Weiss declare that the new party is "not radical but merely progressive." Even Coolidge supporters, they claim, admit that the La Follette-Wheeler ticket will carry every state in the West except Texas and Arkansas. Massachusetts is claimed as a sure Progressive state.

The quick organizations for the cause of the Wisconsin Senator has been surprising everywhere. For the first time in history, say Brown and Weiss, the American Federation of Labor has endorsed a presidential candidate, although admitting the impossibility of directing the vote.

The temporary treasurer feels fully justified in expecting at least 200 men at the first meeting from those students who give serious consideration to the political situation. Appeal will be made to all liberal men at Harvard whether of age or not.
