Abstract:

Public, personal, and family papers of Philip Fox La Follette, a three-term governor of Wisconsin and leader of the Progressive Party. The Papers constitute an excellent source for study of the 1930s in Wisconsin, a period when under La Follette's leadership the state served as a model for innovative, aggressive governmental action. They include correspondence, financial records, reports, speeches and writings, press releases, scrapbooks, photographs, and recordings. The Public Papers comprise the official papers and correspondence from La Follette's governorship and political career. They contain information on organizing his administration, legislation, the formation of the Progressive Party in 1934, the dismissal of University President Glenn Frank in 1936, and the founding of the National Progressives of America in 1938. The Personal Papers contain La Follette's correspondence with members of his family and friends throughout his lifetime and general correspondence written during the years when he was out of office. Documented is his activity in the America First Committee and his daily activities and thoughts while serving during World War II in the southwest Pacific theatre. The Family Papers include campaign papers for the 1922 Senatorial campaign and the 1924 Presidential campaign of Robert M. La Follette Sr.; nomination forms for Robert M. La Follette Jr., 1926; a few items from Belle Case La Follette; and letters, 1944-1947, from Robert M.

Heir to the Progressive tradition of the La Follette family and three term governor of Wisconsin, Philip Fox La Follette was born in Madison, Wisconsin on May 8, 1897. He began his education in Madison while his father, Robert M. La Follette Sr., was governor and continued it in Washington, D. C. during the elder La Follette's years in the Senate.

In 1915 Philip La Follette returned to Madison to attend the University of Wisconsin. Although he shared his father's non-interventionist position on World War I, he interrupted his studies to enlist in the army in the spring of 1918. Discharged as a second lieutenant on December 24, 1918, he returned to the University to graduate in June 1919. In February 1922, he graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School and began practice with his father's law firm in Madison. He married Isabel Bacon of Salt Lake City, Utah on April 14, 1923.

Philip La Follette inherited Progressive ideals and an active interest in politics from his father and his mother, Belle Case La Follette. Like his father, Phil was aggressive and impetuous; qualities which combined with his driving political ambition to become both an asset and a liability to his political career. From an early age, Phil and his older brother Bob Jr., were their father's trusted political confidants and active in his campaigns. Phil's own political career began in 1924 when he left his legal practice to work for his father's independent Presidential candidacy and to launch his own campaign for Dane County District Attorney. Phil won the Dane County election easily but, after only one term, returned voluntarily to private practice, and took on part-time teaching duties at the University of Wisconsin Law School.

La Follette returned to active politics in 1930 by declaring his candidacy for the governorship. Aided by persistent campaigning and the voter's general economic dissatisfaction, he was successful against his conservative opponent in the Republican primary, and in November won an easy victory in the general election. As governor La Follette vigorously attacked the depression in Wisconsin, and several of his programs became models for subsequent national legislation under President Roosevelt. La Follette, however, maintained that distinct differences existed between his program and the New Deal. Wisconsin's governor asserted that his program, “collective individualism,” relied upon individual initiative rather than the outright relief of the New Deal. The key to this program lay in framing public policy to make it advantageous for the private sector to adopt socially beneficial programs; consequently the government did not have to carry out these programs or pass legislation forcing business to do so. Measures which Phil La Follette advocated during his first term included state and municipal ownership of public utilities, a program to put unemployed men into re-forestation work in Northern Wisconsin, unemployment insurance, and a unified state labor code similar to the Norris-La Guardia Act later adopted by the Federal government. Strongest opposition to La Follette's policies came from the conservative controlled State Senate which labeled his policies radical and socialistic. Much of his program became law, but the conservatives effectively blocked the heart of the governor's effort--government ownership.

In 1932 La Follette sought re-election, but was defeated in the primary by a conservative opponent largely because the depression had grown worse in Wisconsin and because of the national movement away from the Republican party. After the election La Follette toured Europe to write a series of articles on the developing situation abroad. Upon his return he briefed President Roosevelt and apparently declined offers of several positions in the New Deal. Instead he returned to his law practice in Madison.

Phil La Follette and other progressives had traditionally considered Wisconsin Democrats as conservative as the Republicans. They felt association with either party was distasteful and, as a result, established the Progressive Party on May 19, 1934. Phil La Follette headed the new party's ticket and was elected governor by an easy margin. During his second term, La Follette's efforts were again directed toward a public power program and toward the Wisconsin Works Bill, a completely state controlled works and relief program. Neither of these measures passed, but the Progressive Party approached the 1936 election at the height of its popularity.

In that election La Follette won an unprecedented third term and the Progressive Party captured a majority of both legislative houses. During the third term La Follette forced through some important segments of his program, including the Wisconsin Development Authority and a state government reorganization bill, but the tactics he used angered many Progressives. This term also witnessed the governor's most serious political failures: the dismissal of University of Wisconsin President Glenn Frank, a move readily interpreted as vindictive; and the establishment of the National Progressives of America (NPA), a third party with fascist overtones intended to launch La Follette as a presidential candidate.

Despite these setbacks Phil La Follette ran for a fourth term in 1938 against a coalition of Republicans and Democrats. By that time, however, the initiative for many of the reforms sought by La Follette had moved to the federal government. These factors combined with the widely held belief that the governor was more interested in national political aspirations than Wisconsin problems, and the dissatisfaction of some of the farm element with his labor policies led to La Follette's defeat. After the election, at age 41, Phil La Follette retired as an active political candidate.

Subsequently La Follette became active in the pre-World War II isolationist movement and the America First organization. This association and the NPA effort convinced many observers that La Follette had undergone a conservative shift, and henceforth the Progressives denied him their support. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, La Follette received a commission in the U.S. Army and served on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur. At the war's end he returned to Wisconsin but, since he was in disfavor among the Progressives, his opinions were not sought when the party returned to the Republican fold in 1946. La Follette campaigned for MacArthur in 1948 and Earl Warren and Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, but, since he was also suspected by the Republicans, his efforts were on the periphery of the political scene.

From 1955 to 1959 La Follette resided in New York City as patent counsel and director of Hazeltine Electronics. He then retired to practice law in Madison on a part-time basis and to work on his autobiography (Adventure in Politics, New York 1970) which was incomplete at the time of his death on August 18, 1965. His wife, Isabel Bacon La Follette, who completed arrangements for publication of the autobiography, died on September 19, 1973.

The Philip F. La Follette Papers, 1876-1973, constitute an excellent source for study of the 1930s in Wisconsin, a period when under La Follette's leadership the state served as a model for innovative, aggressive governmental action. The collection is divided into three main series - Public, Personal, and Family Papers. It includes correspondence, financial records, reports, speeches and writings, press releases, scrapbooks, photographs, and recorded speeches and other items. A list of prominent correspondents is included in this finding aid as Appendix I. A list of photographs in PH 100, during La Follette's tenure serving under General Douglas MacArthur during World War II, is included as Appendix II.

Series 1: Public Papers. This series comprises the official papers and correspondence from La Follette's governorship and political career, 1931-1932; 1934-1938. In addition, the public papers contain scrapbooks of newspaper clippings, disc recordings and tapes of La Follette's speeches and radio talks, and drafts of speeches and articles written throughout his life, as well as various manuscript drafts of his autobiography, Adventure in Politics, and a card file of his daily schedule, 1936-1938.

The Public Papers contain correspondence, publications and speeches, financial records, and press releases. The correspondence which includes incoming correspondence and carbons of outgoing correspondence ranges in character from budgetary reports to correspondence with Wisconsin residents and respected policy advisors. The papers from 1931 are chiefly concerned with organizing the new administration, making appointments, gathering information on policy formation, and initiating legislative and executive action to deal with the Depression. Of particular interest among this early correspondence is the image of Robert La Follette Sr. and popular reaction to the Depression. Facing a lack of institutions to which to turn with their problems, troubled citizens wrote directly to the Governor, the son of “Old Bob,” with complaints about unemployment, low farm income, the chain store “menace,” and the need for relief and reform.

In order to attack the problems of relief and recovery, the state needed correct information about existing conditions. Much of 1931 was spent in correspondence and conference with diverse business, labor, farm, and urban groups to gather this information. Most of the actual legislation was not drafted by the executive office, but by advisors who worked independently after receiving initial direction from the governor. For example, policy decisions regarding the Unemployment Compensation Act lay chiefly with professors at the University of Wisconsin and suggestions for the Industrial Stabilization Act, which served as a model for the NRA, came from the state's business leaders. La Follette, however, was kept well-informed about his advisors' progress and ideas. The evolution of other significant legislation enacted during La Follette's first administration documented in the collection include taxes on chain stores and dividends and an income surtax, forestry fire protection legislation, and strengthening of the Public Service Commission.

The correspondence from 1932 to 1934 is dominated by political matters: La Follette's defeat in the 1932 Republican primary by conservative Walter J. Kohler Sr., La Follette's plan to return to office, and the formation of the Progressive Party at Fond du Lac on May 19, 1934. There is extensive correspondence with leaders throughout the state before the La Follettes determined to establish the third party in Wisconsin.

Much of the correspondence relating to La Follette's second term concerns the Wisconsin Works bill, a wealth-producing works program to be administered by a public corporation. Although Roosevelt supported the program, a hostile legislature was able to block enactment of the bill. There is also material on the Wisconsin Rural Electrification Act, drought relief, aid to education, highways, and local relief agencies.

Papers relating to the 1937-1938 legislative session include material on enactment of the Wisconsin Agricultural Authority, the Wisconsin Development Authority, and the Wisconsin Labor Relations Act. Also well-documented is the dismissal of University President Glenn Frank in 1936 and La Follette's position on the court packing issue in 1937. The material relating to the founding of the National Progressives of America in 1938 is particularly rich, for prior to its organization La Follette corresponded with many state and national leaders to ascertain their feelings about establishment of a liberal, third party movement. Papers relating to the actual operation of the NPA from 1938-1942 are segregated in two boxes.

The speeches and writings contain drafts of speeches and articles written throughout La Follette's life; many of these are also to be found on tape and disc recordings. There are also drafts of his memoirs, Adventure in Politics, begun in 1952 and uncompleted at his death in 1965. Also included is a chapter written by Mrs. La Follette after her husband's death. The financial records consist of rough calculations of campaign expenditures and partial records of the governor's Special Account, 1934-1938. The section of press releases spans the period, 1928-1938; some contain pencil notations and a few are handwritten drafts, but the authorship is unknown. A chronological run of 18 scrapbooks include three on the Glenn Frank Case. Thirty-two recordings of speeches, radio broadcasts, MacArthur presidential campaign songs, and other item are on disc. Many of the discs are also available in tape format.

Series 2: Personal Papers. This series consists of general correspondence written while La Follette was out of office as well as correspondence with family and friends written throughout his lifetime. Also included are a group of financial records, a group of miscellany, photographs, and diplomas and certificates.

The Personal Papers contain La Follette's correspondence with members of his family and friends throughout his lifetime and general correspondence written during the years when he was out of public office. The early correspondence is rather fragmentary, but it includes incidential letters from Robert La Follette Sr., and Belle Case La Follette. His extensive and revealing correspondence with Isabel Bacon dates from 1921, and after their marriage they corresponded during any absence. Beginning in 1922 La Follette's correspondence includes reference to his legal career and the various campaigns in which he participated for his father and brother. Many personal letters written during his years as governor comment informally upon Wisconsin and the national political scene and reveal the personal relationships among the members of the family. The correspondence after 1939 includes documentation of La Follette's activity in the America First Committee; and for three years after the entry into World War II, he wrote almost daily to his wife from the Southwest Pacific theatre. His postwar correspondence is largely personal and touches only upon the fringes of the political scene. There are scattered comments upon the demise of the Progressive Party in 1946, as well as information on La Follette's support of the MacArthur candidacy in 1948 and the Warren and Eisenhower candidacies in 1952. After 1952 La Follette retired from public life entirely, devoting himself to his law and business career and to his family.

Series 3: Family Papers. This series consists of papers of other La Follette family members: Robert M. La Follette Sr., Robert M. La Follette Jr., Robert M. La Follette III, Belle Case La Follette, and Isabel Bacon La Follette.

The Family Papers include campaign papers for the 1922 Senatorial campaign and the 1924 Presidential campaign of Robert M. La Follette Sr. These consist largely of correspondence with local Wisconsin organizations, and are arranged alphabetically by county and chronologically thereunder. The Robert M. La Follette Jr., papers consist of nomination forms, organized alphabetically by county for the special election of 1926. The material relating to Belle Case La Follette is largely secondary in nature, with the exception of a small amount of correspondence relating to editing La Follette's Magazine. The papers of Isabel Bacon La Follette document her own important career as an advisor to her husband and an advocate of women's rights. Also well-documented is the establishment and operation of the Women's Service Exchange, an employment service for older women founded by Mrs. La Follette in 1952. The Women's Service Exchange records in this collection are largely a duplicate file from the original records housed in the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College. Mrs. La Follette's papers consist of correspondence, drafts of speeches, articles for the Progressive, her unpublished autobiography, a certificate and a diploma, and scrapbooks of her newspaper column “A Room of Our Own.” The papers of Robert M. La Follette III span the period 1944 to 1947 and consist of his observations on the war in the Philippines and the occupation of Japan.
