Sponsors of the New Union Party are determined to double the vote of the LaFollette-Wheeler Progressive Party ticket 1924, the last big effort to launch formidable third party in the nation. While the ticket headed by the elder La Follette and Senator Wheeler (D) of Montana, holled up 4,826,000 votes in 1924, it succeeded in capturing only the electorial vote of LaFollette's own Wisconsin.

Political observers here are divided over the prospects the new third party ticket reaching the minimum goal of 10,000,000 votes. Favorable factors were generally accepted as: T8he Lemke-O'Brien ticket can get on the ballot in all but a a halfdozen states, either through party designation or as independents. The total vote next November may touch 38,000,000 which would top the 1934 total vote by 10,000,000. The Lemke-O'Brien ticket got the jump on the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket by two weeks. The latter ticket was not nominated until July 5, 1934.

The National Union for Social Justice, headed by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin sponsor of the Lemke-O'Brien ticket, claims a membership alone of several millions of voters, the ticket backers say. The two organizations provide a nucleus through which the Lemke-O' Brien ticket can comply with many State laws requiring signatures of thousands of voters to put the third party ticket on the ballot.
