He is to have his great chance, he believes. In every Republican national con vention for the last twenty years ne has had his handful of followers. During all these years he has been a thorn in the side of his 'party and a DroeTessive Democrat. The La Follette candidacy is Re publican. It is to Republicans he will make his appeal and if . he can cut off from 50 to 75 electoral votes from the Republican column, the loss in the opinion of observers here, means his party was unable to cast him out j a decissive defeat to the party for it because he persisted in remaining and callinsr himself a Republican and he means to continue this course, mre now he and his followers raise the banner of revolt on which they retain the Republican' name. La Follette and his' followers main tain that they are what is left of the real Republican party tne party oi Lincoln. They have come to hold the balance of power in congress. In the house this insurgent element 'voted on tax legislation almost invariably with the Democrats. It is predicted they will doJUkewise in the senate.
