Candidate La Follette
Image
Robert M. La Follette, Sr., independent third-party Presidential candidate, and his son Robert M. La Follette, Jr., listen to a radio address by President Coolidge. This news story is as much about the radio on the table between the two La Follettes, as it is about the campaign, noting that the candidate "intends to use the radio during the campaign, not only to broadcast some of his own speeches but to get a line on the utterances of his opponents."
1924
