LaFollette Hurls Fighting Challenge Says He Is Not Candidate For Noml nation. Urges Wisconsin Delega tion To Fight For Principles. Washington, June 3.—Senator La Follette tonight, on the eve of the Republican national convention threw down a fighting challenge to the party fathering at Cleveland and told his supporters they repre sented the “mass of the common people of the country." He specifically instructed the Wis consin. delegation to refrain from placing him in nomination as a presidents! candidate? but urged a war without quarter for its ‘‘plat form of progressive principles." The Wisconsin senator addressed his communication to John J. Blain, chairman of the Wisconsin delega tion at Cleveland, who was asked to present it to the individual dele gates. V* v “You are aware, of course,” he said, “that while the voters of Wis consin have done me the honor of electing delegates who have cast their votes for me as candidate for the Republican nomination for President every four years since 1908, I have not, in fact, been a candidate since 1916, and my name has not, since that year, been for mally presented to a Republican na tional convention. “Although my name was not filed in presidential primaries in Wiscon sin or elsewhere, nevertheless, the voters of Wisconsin in the recent primaries instructed 28 of the 29 delegates to cast their votes for me in the nomination of a candidate for President. One delegate was pledged to President Coolidge. “It is my express wish that in the Republican, national convention as sembling June 10 my name is not placed in nomination. I request further that the progressive dele gates elected by the people of Wis consin concentrate all their energies upon obtaining the adoption of the platform of progressive principles which received an overwhelming en dorsement in the;April primary. “I realize that *the progressives in this convention will face terrible odds< You BMst remember, how ever, that, regardless of the numbers arrayed against you, the member ship of the Republican party in a majority of the states is progressive and that you will be the spokesmen in this convention of millions of progressive Republicans throughout the nation who have had no voice in the election of a majority of the convention delegates. “The American people will look tc the delegates from Wisconsin, and to such other progressives as may hold seats in the convention, for a bold and uncomprising fight on behalf of the fundamental principles to which you are pledged. “Some may say that out of con sideration for part harmony, and inasmuch as the progressives appear to be in a minority in the conven tion, no good can come from a de- •7 J | — !

Chandler. e-12-5tc adoption of a progressive platfoj^i. “I know this argument of ex pediency and cowardice will have no weight with the members of /bur delegation. The Republican party was organized in Wisconsin in 1854 by a handful of patriotc citizens, then in a hopeless minority, who would make no compromise with the extension of human slavery. You will recall likewise that while the platforms submitted by Wiscon sin have been scornfully rejected by Republican national conventions since 1908, practically every impor tant proposal submitted by the Wis consin delegates up to 1916 has since been enacted into law. There are, indeed, only five of thirty-one planks submitted by Wisconsin dur ing this period which are not now embodied in the law of the land. “The principles upon which you have been elected express the senti ment of the mass of the common people of this country. Those prin ciples are in thorough harmony with the traditions of the Republi can party and with the institutions of representative government. They must not be sacrificed or surren dered. “I shall confidently expect from the delegates from Wisconsin such action as will preterit those prin ciples inviolate, both in respect to the adoption of a platform and in the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President.” Mr. Jacobs Thanks The People of Clinton I wish to express my deep appre ciation of the splendid vote given me in the municipal primary. I feel deep ly honored that so many of my fellow citizens preferred me to head the city government for the next two years. I will do all in my power not to dis appoint the anticipations of a good, administration. I wish to assure them as fully, as< largely, as fairly as I will endeavor to serve my very best friends and supporters. I there fore ask for a united community, a united council, and a disregard of all previous party lines. My campaign for the nomination, mostly conducted by my friends, has at my urgent re quest been free from any attacks up on competing candidates, and we have had a quiet, orderly election. It is my purpose to do everything possible to unite all interests in the community for the common good in an era of progress, good fellowship, harmony and co-operation, and I therefore aak for universal support in all measures taken by the new city administration when they come into authority after the General Elec tion. A good administration necessitates not only good mayor and council, but the goodwill of the people, and their co-operative effort in the maintenance of Jaw and order, and in the develop ment of municipal facilities and ser vice. I beg that every Clintonian will regard me as a friend. Again thanking you for the confi dence displayed in me, I assure you of my very best efforts. Sincerely, J. F. JACOBS.
