The Field

Leading the field of Presidential nominees are, of course, Coolidge and Davis. Hot on their heels, or perhaps a little farther back, run the 20 to 1,100 to 1,1,000 to 1, and 1,000,000 to 1 shots. There are plenty of them.

First in their ranks is Robert M. LaFollette. He is an Independent, running on his own platform, made to order for him by the Conference for Progressive Political Action. The C. P. P. A. endorsed him. So did the Socialist Party. His movement is made up principally of insurgent Republicans, progressive Democrats and some Farmer-Laborites. Representative John M. Nelson of Wisconsin is his Campaign Manager. LaFollette's ticket mate was yet to be picked. The LaFollette ticket is the only one of the lesser groups which ranks as a political potentiality in the next election.

The other tickets include:

People's Progressives (formerly a pro-Ford group): Robert R. Pointer and Roy W. Harrop.

American (Ku Klux Party) : Judge Gilbert O. Nations.

Socialist-Labor: Frank T. Johns and Verne L. Reynolds.

Prohibition: Herman P. Faris and Marie C. Brehm.

Commonwealth Land (Single Tax): William J. Wallace and J. C. Lincoln.

Workers' (Communist): William Z. Foster and Benjamin Gitlow.

Farmer-Labor: captured at St. Paul by Communists; nominated Duncan McDonald and William Bouck. The National Committee withdrew their names last week and endorsed the Workers' Party candidates.

National Independent (AntiFederal Reserve Bank)--John Zahnd and Roy W. Harrop.
