Senator LaFollette, of WISCONSIN,
is making some speeches throughout
South Dakota and has filled several
engagements. Over at Flandreau he
delivered an address on Represent
ative Government" and in it he took
occasion to bolster up the case of
Senator Gamble in this state and to
give Senator Kittredge a blow under
the belt. The Wisconsin senator,
however, found out before his lee
ture was finished at Flandreau that
it was not an easy matter to hand
out the compliments to Senator Gam
BILE without ruff1ing the feathers of
the friends of Senator Kittredge, and
in either case it was very poor taste
for the senator to bring personalities
into his lecture, particularly when he
was drawing a good fat fee for it.
The Flandreau correspondent makes
the following comment on the eff
forts of the Wisconsin senator's
speech:
During the lecture Senator LaFol-
lette spoke very boastfully of his
work in the senate and correspond
ingly to the disparagement of those
who did not agree with him. In the
course of his discussion of the rate
law he said that this regulation
