Title: Signed Pamphlet

Published by the United States Government Printing Office (Washington, DC, 1937), La Follette here supports President Roosevelt's wildly unpopular "Judicial Procedures Reform Bill" or "court-packing plan" of 1937, legislation that would have allowed him to enlarge the court in such a way that would help push through his New Deal initiatives.

Form letter on "State of Wisconsin Executive Office" letterhead transmitting this speech. .
