LA FoLLErrEs ROLL CALLS.

Senator LaFollette is still reading
roll calls. A few evenings ago he lee
tured in Los Angeles, which, by the
way, is the home of United States Sem
tor Frank P. Flint Senator Flint was
connected with the railroads prior to
his election to the senate, and when
he defeated ex-senator Bard two
years ago last winter he had the sup
port of the Southern Pacific machine.
Like some others, when the question
of rate legislation came up last VIM
ter, he was kept busy lodging for
some time.
According to the accounts of La
Follette's lecture published in the Los
Angeles papers it was intensely dra-
matte at times. The audience was an
educated one. made up largely of pro-
fessional and business men.
Senator LaFollette was telling how
the railroad senators" smothered his
rate bill; how they sat sullen and
afraid to speak, growing out their
votes to lay his amendments on the
table.
How did Flint voter" cried a grim.
angry voice from the audience.
II will show you how they all
voted said LaFollette in reply.
AS he began reading them out,
voices from the audience cried back
at him.
''Aldrich," he read.
Standard OIL" cried the voices.
"Alger," he went on.
