"My Dear Mr.. Payne: While in Mil,

Why not let La Toilette have his chance

Coy. Robert M. La Follette's mas
appointed champion of the rights of the
people against the corrupting influence
of the political ''bosses" is at an end.
The mask which he has so long worn has
been torn from him and he stands re-
vealed in his true character as a selfish,
scheming politician, ready at a moments
notice to drop his reform" pretenses, be-
tray his honest followers and become a
part of the goddess machine" which he
has professed with so much violence to
abhor.
The Sentinel is in possession of letters
which reveal his political hypocrisy in all
it's nakedness. 1t is prepared to prove
that the self-styled apostle of reform"
who has ragged on thousand rostrums
over the unholiness Of the so-called
''bosses'' made overtures to combine with
those same men against whose evil do
ings he had warned Goods patient poor"
in endless columns of burning eloquence.
These overtures were made to make easy
his approach to the gubernatorial chair
and pave the way for his elevation to
the United States Senate. They stamp
him as a ''reformer'' for Office only and
prove his insincerity beyond the shadow
of a doubt.
The story adds an intensely interesting
chapter to the political history of Wis
consin, and there is more to follow con-
corning the attempts of this sham ere
former" to ally himself with other inter

In the letter Of May 25 Mr.. La Toilette
himself comes to the front in person and
informs Mr.. Kress that Murphy, my
friend whom you have met, understands
my position and can speak for me inso-
far as there is anything to say in regard
to the proposals which you have made"
This letter establishes clearly Mr.. La
Follette's connection with and cognizance
of the negotiations.
On June 6 Mr.. La Toilette forwarded
to Mr.. Kress at Wellsboro, Pa, a copy
of an interview printed in the Sentinel of
May 81, 1900, in which he Ga Follette)
states his position and disclaims any in
tention to become a candidate for the
United States senatorship at the close Of
his first term as governor should he be
elected to that office. This interview is
significant in view of the written PROPOSE
ton for a settlement presented to Mr..
Payne by Messrs. Kress and Murphy on
May IL.
In the face of this evidence Of the in
sincerity of Gov. La Toilette, his most
faithful supporters and willing tools can
find no excuse for their alliance with him
except self-interest or Hypnotic spell.

ests which he has vigorously denounced
and pretended to fight while struggling
to reach the governors chair.
In the spring and summer of 1900, be-
fore and after the Republican state con-
vention was held in this city, rumors
were rife of an agreement or combina-
ton between Robert M. La Toilette and
certain Republican leaders who before
that time had been targets for continual
assaults on the part of that gentleman
and his literary bureau. The Sentinel
is now in a position to make public all
the facts relating to the matter, having
in it's possession the correspondence that
passed between the parties concerned at
the time. The correspondence, in the
form of eleven letters, is printed below
and attention is called to certain points

MR.. PAYNE'S REPLY. +.

The repy of Mr.. Payne to the above
letter is characteristic of the man. He
makes no reference to the unjust and in
temperate personal war that has been
waged against him for number of
years, merely expressing a wish that the
differences in the party which he believed
grew out of the Bennett law campaign
could be adjusted and harmony restored.
He states that he is not a candidate for
Office and has no expectation of aspiring
to political place. Here is his letter:
milwaukee, Wis, May 5, 1900.
"H. G. Kress, Esq, Manitowoc, Wis.

tests which have obtained in this state.

considerable bitterness. No one will go

ing elements.

senting any element in the party, to talk

KREss ANXIOUS FOR HARMONY.


To this letter Mr.. Kress replied in such
a manner as to indicate that he had at
tempted to secure further instructions
from La Toilette, but that he had failed
because the latter was not at home and
could not be reached. He appears to
have been fearful lest some other friend
Of La Toilette may have opened nego-
tiations with Mr.. Payne in the meantime.
This letter and Mr.. Payne's reply there

MURPHY REPRESENTS LA FOL-
LETTE.

Mr.. La Follette's representative
proved to be Jerre G. Murphy, who is
now his private secretary, and on May
II the meeting between Messrs. Kress,
Murphy and Payne was held, which fact
is shown by the letter of Mr.. Kress of
May IL.
Upon the demand of Mr.. Payne the
propositions upon which an agreement
was asked by Mr.. La Toilette were re
duced to writing and submitted to Mr.
Payne. Among those propositions,
which are printed above, is the signif-
cant condition that Interests be mutual
led as time advances" What the "mu
tualizing'' of Mr.. La Follette's interests
with those of the bosses meant politi
clans will readily understand and the

SHOULD "GET TOGETHER"

At about the time of the holding of
the convention for the election of dele
gates to the national Republican con-
vention at Philadelphia overtures were
made to Henry c.. Payne by Editor H.
G. Kress of Manitowoc, a friend of Rob
ert M. La Toilette, after he, Kress, had
held two conferences with La Toilette.
The proposition, as made by Mr.. Kress,
was, on it's face, that the two wings of
the party should take steps to "get to-
gether," which, being translated, meant
that La Follette's fight on the machine
should cease in consideration of the
machine" permitting him to be nom
mated for governor and promising not to
interfere with his senatorial aspirations.
It will be remembered that up to that
time Mr.. Payne had been publicly
charged by the La Toilette faction with
being the head Of "the machine politi-
clans Of the Republican party" with
whom an alliance was equivalent to a
betrayal of the interests of the people.
Mr.. Payne having replied to the effect
that he would do what he could to pro-
mote harmony in the party he was in
formed that a meeting had been ar
ranged by means Of telephone message
from Mr.. La Toilette between Mr.
Kress and a representative of La Fol
lette. There was an attempt to hide
Mr. La Follette's connection with the
deal, but, in this way, as well as by a
personal letter at later date, he is con-
nected with the negotiations and his par
ticipation therein established.

THE CORRESPONDENCE OPENS

The correspondence opens with a let
ter under date Of May 3, 1900, written
by FL. G. Kress, a mutual friend of
the two observation-disclosures. Payne and
La Toilette. The letter states that the
writer had already had two conferences
with La Toilette, and regrets that Mr..
Payne was not in Milwaukee at the time
the Republican state convention was
held for the purpose Of electing dele
gates to the national convention to be
held in Philadelphia in June. It will
be remembered that at that convention
opposition developed among La Fol
lette's followers to the return of Mr.
Payne to membership on the national
committee and a contest was made over
the election of some of the delegates

WILLING TO COMPROMISE.

After years of the most violent oppo-
sition to the leaders of the Republican
party, whom he was wont to characterize
in his personal publications as "the
Payne-Sawyer-Pfster combine" La Fol
lette sought to enter that combine and
become part of the much abused "ma-
chine"
He was willing to desert Goods pa
tient poor" and leave them to the suffer
ings which he so graphically described
in his Fern Dell speech.
He was willing to betray the conf
dence reposed in him by those who had
been persuaded to believe in his honesty
of purpose and the bona fides of his in
tentions to serve the interests of the
people to the best of his ability. He
was prepared, in fact, to betray both
sides-to sell out his followers by max
ing a combination with those whom he
had opposed, the machine" and to re-
pudiate any agreements with the oppo-
sition leaders after he had once secured
a position of advantage from which he
could dictate terms to all who had dared
to dispute his authority. He had politi-
cal gold bricks for sale.
