LA FOLLETTE, Philip F. (1897-1965) - Signed Pamphlet

Title: Signed Pamphlet
Description: This Wisconsin attorney of the notable La Follette dynasty served three terms as that state's governor (1931-33, 1935-39), first as Republican and then with the Wisconsin Progressive Party he and his U.S. Senator brother Robert formed. Signed pamphlet, "Reorganization of the Supreme Court: Radio Address by Governor Philip F. La Follette of Wisconsin February 27, 1937," small 4to, wrappers, 11pp. Very good. Light single vertical fold. 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. Near the top of the front wrapper, La Follette signs boldly in full in black ink. Accompanied by a rubberstamp-signed TNS, 1p, 8½" X 11", Madison, WI, n.y. Fine. Form letter on "State of Wisconsin Executive Office" letterhead transmitting this speech. .
