THOSE who predicted that
nothing would be heard from
LaFollette in the Senate for a
year or two have been disap-
pointed. The fact is that he has
taken the leadership in the Sen
ate almost as completely as he
did while Governor of Wiscon-
sin. He has shaken up the old
dry bones. He has lectured the
members, he has taken issue
with the Vice President and he
has voted with the Democrats
Our prediction is that in a year
or two he will be as much feared
as any man in the senate.

from that section of the country
as we'll. Funds are being col

ART" GATES LEAVES SERVICE
So Does Another Chief Clerk, r.. w.

Less Ardent job.

The latest feature In The big shake
up nov In progress on the Rio Grande
WAS the launching last night of a pro-
nounced rumor 10 the effect that \. Il.
Welby. general superintendent OF the
Denver x Rio Grande, had resigned.
Down AZ the depot the story was
passed from mouth 10 mouth and to-
day gained credence.
The story as licked over the system
by the operators during "A lull In dis
patching Is that II. r. Rockwell sup

notified to leave with Vice President

ping into MIR. Welby's shoes. II Is
given for what 1t il worth.
IN the meantime the shake-up Is III
full swing at operating headquarters
here and the old guard remaining Is
scurrying around for help. Last night
4. W Gates. generally known as art, y
stepped down and out after eight years
with the Rio Grande, he having served
as chief clerk TO Supt Welby in the
old days and acted in a similar capac-
ity for succeeding superinlendenls OF
the Rio Grande Western. Mr., Gates
simply threw up the sponge, as, 10
quote him, he Is all in. During the
past year he has worked day and night
every day, holidays included, with the
exception of two Sundays. He leaves
for California In couple OF days,
where he will take a vacation with Mrs.
Gates and try to cure himself from
jumping out Of his chair every time a
door slams.

II has been an open secret TOT
months past that there has been all
