Washington. Nov. tl.-The - presi
dential boom; of Robert M. 1 Foliette
besln fWp this week.
J With the' Assembling C progressives
- t of both parties from all sect toes of the
j United States for a general conference
here, aext Friday the Wisconsin eena-
Hor will start, out on the lonr. uncer
Ualn trail , toward the White House.
' X Foliette has not called this con
, gferenc to further tie political aspira
tion and the delegates are not rather
f'trr for that purpose- Sat regardless
. rrC the Intentions of those particlpat
. ilnc the conference " will nevertheless
. hare'the effect of starting the La Fol
, Jette-f or-prcsldent movement ' on - Its
'way.
f. The conference Is meetfria to discuss
, progressive legislative program for
tnis congress ana ror : tne next con
- cress. It will be concerned with meas.
hires rather than men. Bat U it U
. ' Follette's conference and the measures
. to be considered are largely his. The
conference wilt meet,- agree jOn soma
- ort ot program, if possible, snd ad
t journ. : -. ' .
t A t little, shert man. with, a bushy
pompadour, will emerge from political
, seclusion, wave his batrat - the crowd
'Of friends, and trudge off. all falling
'In behind. The objective is the large
nouee en Pennsylvania avenue. '
$ But the major consem at the start
.is net that objective. La Foliette and
'-his friends are thinking for tbo pres-
. -en, or certain public .problems :
Protection of oil lands and water
power that belong to the nation; pre
. vention of corrupt elections; revision.
tor repeal ox ine .bscn-vumnuns ranroaa
.act; loading of a greater share of the
; tax burden on wealth ; rejuvenation of
t ;the primary so that the voters direct,
.rather than party managers, can choose
.their candidates., y-;
S "I called " this -conference to work
out a legislative rrosram for this con.
,'gresa and for the next one," La Fol
!ette told the write on Monday., "1
' have bad acceptances from . a Jot of
.people. This thing is going to go over.
- - iTott . can put that down. 1 am not
concerned with what is. going to hap
pen five years from now cr 10 years
- from now. W are facing certain eon-.
diUons and we are going to meet
.'them." - - ,' V- - -...
He refused" to discuss third party
'possibilities for. publication.
"1 have stated the purpose of this
conference. I don't see why people
5 can't take mjrword for it." ...
6- Just how the La Foliette eandidaer
.will develop in relation to the two old
f political parties is a- moch debated
- question. . L& Foliette, Veuld like to
see the two major parties revamped
a -with one progressive 'and the other
conservative.. If he seeSvi way- of
V bringing ; this about, he will be com
. pelied to enter the field on hl own
'.and attempt to draw support from
- Jbotli parties. '.--:-'-r
. 8IBESGTH AKD WEAKNESS
'"V La Foliette enters this important
' r phase of his political career with great
" elements of strength and serious e
f ments of weakness.
C Factors favorable- to him include:
t Ju His recent reelection, to the sen
fate fcy an overwhelming majority of
t four to one,' attesting bis control of
his own state. -1
2. Support of organised labor. Sam-
uel Gom per s. president ot the Ameri-
, fcan Federation of Labor, has already
' declared for La Foliette as a desirable
"f presidential candidate.
, I - 4. Espousal f policies which, P-
' peared popular in last elections, such
: as antagonism to the Eseh-Cummlns
Tact, the ship subsidy and the Fordney
(UcCumbcr tariff, indorsement of farm
i relief measures.
41 Opposition to the Lengue of Ka
tions and the Versailles treaty. :
r Among factor unfavorable ta hlra
fare:
-r j X. His opposition to the war. :
2. Enmity of business Interests.
3. Lack of party macuinery to carry
fon a campaign.
V 4. The fact that aUhough he is a
Republican the next Republican con
f mention will, p all probability, bo con
trolled by th Harding forces.

Washington; Kov. 27 A general re
volt Is brewing among farmers of the
Middle West against the starving con
ditions of agriculture, according to re
ports reaching congressional circles
today.
The threatened outburst - of farmer
wrath, it is- said, might - assume the
proportions ot a non-cooperative revo
lution. Similar to the famous Gbandi
revolt of India. Facing the winter
penniless, gronpa of farmers are plan
nlng desperate measures to, focus the
attention of the nation on their plight.
One -faction- already has advocated
general strike, among farmers In one
state and their leaders are seeking
converts to the cause in other states.
If the movement becomes general, the
farmers would refuse to pay. all 'fed
eral, state and local taxes, permit their
farms to be seised, repudiate debts and
throw '' themselves x on the mercy of
their communities. While not likely
to become general, the plan ass al
ready gained a foothold.
A second movement has been started
to use the technical machinery of the
law to evade taxes and wipe out their
debts. This plan. Involving declara
tions of bankruptcy which are almost
unheard of among farmers, has won
rapid support; . ; In - one state North
Dakotait : was learned -143 farmers
became bankrupts in a single week
last month. . ;- " "',.'.
Widespread sufferings among farm
ers is almost unavoidable ttiia winter,
according to a concensus of reports.
Thousands are - penniless, their farms
heavily mortgaged, cash reserves wiped
out. debts piled up and crops ruined.
Whether they will Join a general "tax
strike" rests solely on the leaders of
their cooperative organisations. Some
are reported in favor of the "revolt.'

TON BUREAU OF THE JOt7RNAI.
Directly oppoaing'news came from Che

governing the bringing of s second suit

acquired ""by dammyr entrymen after
a: first auit in equity for recovery f
tne lands themselves has been lost
because not begun within ,lx years
after fraud was discovered, ' i r j
'The majority of the urt, In an
epiniotf by Justice Sutherland, decided
that after losing suit for the lands
alleged to have been fraudulently ac
quired by the Oregon Lumber company,
the government has no further, remedy.
Tha dissenting opinion ey jusuee
Brandels i declares that never before
in- this court has the doctrine of elec
tion been successfully Invoked against
the government in puch a case. Chief

curred with Brandels. --..".

and the beginning of the case before
th court, during three-fourths of
which time the government was In pos
session of the facts. "Having elected
to go ' to -trial In an equity case for
eancellatlon of patents, says the opin
ion, "it ts inconsistent to bring suit to
recover the value upon the same- state
of facts.
- The Brandels dissention declares the
government lost no right by trying its
equitable rolty- case first, and -characterises
the doctrine of election which
defeats the action in this case as "tech
nical" and a rule of; procedure -not
substantive Jaw, which the courts
have never allowed to defeat another
action and aacrtftee substantia right
"The government gained nothing, the
defendant lost nothing." says Justice
Brandels, "by bringing' of a futile suit
which it lost. However stupid or stub
born a party may have been, he is not
deprived of the rijht to try another
remedy." - -Vit'
The -rvalue of the -lands alleged to
have been fraudulently taken was esti
mated at $65,000. Joseph Barton, Fred
A. Atkinson and Frank M. Shurtllf f
were linked with the Oregon Lumber
company as defendants.
