It brings to a close one of the most interesting case of fami l y o _ i , ic 1 po e in American history. The story gos back to 1 5, ix y-one ye re a o, wen in isconsin a fiery you g Liberal named Bob LaFollette /' 8 elected to Congress -- late,. to t e Sen te. And thereafter, for the rest of his life, the political affairs of the nation rang freouently witb the name of -- fighting Bob La Follette. Splitting with the Republic na, he founded a party of his own, the Progressive Party, and made the LaFollette predominance in taconsin f ily t- fair. Afterh his deatr, hist o sons in erite bis politic 1 pre tige. P i l LaF o lle e . Governor of Wisconsin tree times -- he's out of politics.now.

So now the na ■ e of Lafollette, afte"- sixty-one years, goes ott the political list in the United S~ates -- the end of a dynasty. The interpretation of thi1 new at electio surprise ia Yaried -- and contradictory in a p ouliar ••r Bob Lafollette was opposed by the C.I.O., and hi1 deteat is being chalked 4o•n as another Yictory for tb• political action co ■ ittee ot the C.I.O.
