Image
Mastering the handshake is essential for a successful political candidate. It involves not only the right hand in the shake, but also the left, used in a gesture that reflects attentive listening on the part of the candidate. Here during the 1930 campaign, Philip Fox La Follette, gubernatorial candidate and son of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., demonstrates his mastery.
