The La Follette's Special Train.

Governor La Follettee's special train
upon which he traved over the state
last fail making campaign speeches is
now receiving considerable attention in
the newspapers of the state. The train
was chartered by the republican state
central committee and cost that com
mlttee $1,000, or an average Of about $50
per day. The question now at issue is
how was it possible for the state central
to secure a special train al
such greatly reduced rates. The anti
pass law expressly prohibits the accept
ance OF free transportation or reduced
rates which are not available to the
general public by political committees
or candidates fer office. 1t is agreed that
the terms by which the La FolIotte train
was chartered were direct violation of
the antl-pasS law, placing the members
of the committee and Mr.. La Toilette
himself liable under the provisions of
that law
The governors friends are busy ex-
planning the incident, but as vet have
presented no adequate statement which
can be taken as justification of the
circumstance. For instance. the Mil
Waukee Evening Wisconsin saws that
the result OF the election justified the
means used to bring about that result.
That the election of Mr.. La Toilette by
the handsome majority he received was
evidence that the committee acted wise
~ in securing the special train at spec
ial rates.
OF course such an explanation is fool
lsh and silly. The anti-pass law was
enacted to prevent just such occurances
as the one cited above. The intent and
purpose of the law was well understood
and neither the committee nor Mr.. La
f0llette can offer any sufficient exDlana-
tlon OF its violation. Under the circum-
stances the public may well believe that
our present reform administration be-
lives In reform either only in theory or
Is OF the opinion that reform ideas should
operate solely for the benefit of the other
fellows.
The republican party must shoulder a
portion Of the blame for this fiagarant
violation of state law, but the party
can repudiate ell future responsibility
for such incideL IS. 1t is up to the people
to pass upon the so-called refOrmers.-
