There are four sections of this argument "LaFollette Party Socialistic Not Progressive", "LaFollette for Party Regularity in 1912", "Would Deprive People of Electing Their President", and "LaFollette Program Would Wreck U.S. Constitution". The pamphlet was signed by 48 names. The back page has a quote from LaFollete about not supporting Roosevelt in 1912. Beneath the quote is black letters spelling "Issued by the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE Chicago, ILL.". Union imprint lower center bottom of back page.
