The football game Saturday be-
tween Lyndon Institute and Barton
academy resulted in an easy victory
for the former. The Lyndonville ag-
gregation played in excellent form
and gave the man carrying the ball
the best of interference. The home
team played their first poor game.
However too much blame cannot .be
put on the players !; for the loss of one
of the line men, the consequent shift

for a man who will not only carry

tor Robert NJ. La Toilette Of Wiscon-
sin. La Toilette has been fighting the
railroads, the political bosses and the
corporation tax dodgers for more than
fifteen years. He is an ardent advocate
Of all the presidents measures and
some others. He kept fighting until he
whipped the trusts, the grafters and
the political corruptionists in Wiscon-
sin, and his friends think he has the
ability and the staying power to re-
peat the performance in the nation.

great principle and remain there for a
lifetime has in him the stuff Of which
leaders are made. No man is fit to lead
others until he himself can follow
truth. The idea for which the Wiscon-
sin man has stood is that Of taking the
government out of the hands of the
selfish interests that have seized it and
Of placing it again in the hands of the
people, where it belongs. He has dared
to stand for that idea unswervingly, to
advocate it by voice and by act, and
when the American, people get ready
TO ScO11rpe the thieves from tho tomn1o

not forget men like La Toilette.

that produced a Coligny in the old
world and that gave so many sturdy
pioneers to the new. Young La Fol-
lette spent his boyhood on farm, but
entered college in 1874. AS his father
was dead and his mother in compara-
tive poverty. this was no easy task
The problem was solved in a charac-
terlstic manner. Taking all the money
he could scrape together, the young
man bought the college paper, which
then was not paying. To it he devoted
so much energy and ability that he
made it carry him through a four
years. course and keep his mother and
family besides. Despite all the time
he devoted to the paper, he kept up in
his studies and won the championship
in an interstate oratorical contest.

until 1890. During his last term he
was on the ways and means committee
and helped frame the Mckinley bill.
For his part in that piece Of legislation
he went down under the Democratic
tidal wave of 1890 and remained down
for several years. The next time he
started not with the machine, but
against it and has gone much further
to the front than he did before. His
successive battles with the railroads
and politicians form a story Of intense
interest. It is told with the hope that
it may stimulate others to make the
same sort of war on the selfish inter
ests in other states.
The contest began in 1894. In that
year La Toilette entered the lists for
Nils Haugen, the antimachine candi-
date for governor. In the Dane county
primaries the first districts all went
against La Toilette. This continued
until nearly half Of the county had
been heard from, and he had not
single delegate. To win he had to car
ry all the rest Of the districts. His
ieutenants were in despair and pro-
posed giving up the fight.
"Gentlemen," said La Toilette, <'you
can do as you please, but I'm going to
carry all the remaining primaries in
Dane county if have to crawl to them
on my knees
He did carry them. He was Hau-
gems chief lieutenant on the floor and,
though not successful, prepared the
way for future fights.
From 1896 to 1899 La Toilette suf-
fered from malady that kept him in
bed large portion Of the time. De-
spite this fact, he organized victory dur
ing those very years. In 1898 he was
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor. The politicians beat him, but he
forced them to place in the platform his
pet plank Of primary election law.
The lobby shamelessly defeated this in
the succeeding legislature.
Refused a FIattering Offer.

Did Much In Four Years.

The same determination which en-
abled the man to make assault after
assault until he finally defeated the
railroads and the machine in Wiscon-
sin rendered it possible for the boy to
make his way, keep his mother, edit a
paper, carry on his studies and win
college, state and interstate oratorical
championship all in the brief space of
four years. The world presents a for
midable front to all corners. Robert
NJ. La Toilette armored himself with
will and overcame it in many battles.
No sooner was La Toilette admitted
to the bar than he was elected district
attorney Of Dane county, a position
which he held four years, after which
he went to congress, where he served

however, from the first He declined
to be wallfower. He had no respect
for the precedent that made a new sen
ator serve two years before he could
begin representing his people. He had
not been in his seat long before he pre-
vented the steal of millions Of dollars
worth of government coal lands by the
railroads in Indian Territory. He be-
gan almost at once fighting for an en-
ployers' liability act. shorter hours for
railway employees and physical valua-
ton of railroads to get rid Of the wa
tered stock fraud. He also lent vigor-
GUS support to the rate bill, his speech
being pronounced by students the
ablest of the session. He attacked the
railway mail graft. Despite the at
tempts Of the corporation attorneys in
the senate to haze him, he went his
way and did his work. He showed
himself infinitely larger than all the
tribe Of those who pretend to serve the
people while hiring themselves to the
peoples enemies.
It is matter for supreme thanksgiv-
ing that at last the American people
are learning their true friends. They
are seeing through the masks of those
who pretend to serve public good, but
in reality serve only private greed.
They have seen enough insurance
crookedness, railroad favoritism. brib-
cry, double dealing and joker legisla-
ton to put them on their guard for
evermore against the industrial pirates
and the political grafters. It is men
such as La Toilette who have done
their part toward awakening the pub
lie conscience.
Robert M. La Toilette is one Of the
great orators now before the public.
While he has grace of delivery and
uses the choicest language, he is little
given to classic allusion, byplay or
ornamentation. He has a keen sense
of humor, but uses it sparingly or not
at all on the platform. He is all bust
ness there, talks directly and simply to
his audience and makes appeal only to
their intelligence and love Of right and
fair play. His power lies in the fact
that he knows what he is talking
about and is not trifing. If would be
orators only knew it, these are the
qualities that win men everywhere,
In the case of candidacy like that
| Of La Toilette it is not a question Of
his being big enough for the presiden-
cy, but rather one Of the ability of the
American people to come to his stand
ard. 1t is not he that is on trial but
the public. Are they big enough to cut
loose from all the fctions and take a
real man who means business?

berry.
Worked For the People.
If they desire, however, the services
OF one who will work for them rather
than for their enemies. why not take
one who has worked for them and
against their enemies in the past?
The representatives of predatory in
Ierests in the United States senate
tried to haze La Toilette. That should
be a very high recommendation for
MIN in the eyes of the honest people Of
the land. The surest sign of a mans
political virtue is to have a hue and
cry raised against him by the ''preds."
That name Of pred" which l be-
AeVe to be original, is submitted as a
proper designation for those who de-
sert their country to serve the trusts.
1t is shorter and not so ugly a word
as traitor or renegade, appellations
which are liable to come into use un-
less some more polite substitute of this
sort is adopted. pred" could be made
to apply both to the trust and the trust
agent, to the briber, the bribed and the
yellow dog" go-between. The big
criminal who manages to keep out of
jail, the CRATER who poses as respect
able, the lobbyist who pretends to be
an attorney and the machine boss who
serves his own pocket could all be
known as "preds." The name, like
charity, would thus cover many sins.
Senator La Follette's life has been
devoted to a battle with the "preds."
They have learned to hate him because
he whips them. When the trust or
gans adopt an indulgent and tolerant
attitude toward a reformer you may
be sure it is because they can either
buy him or beat him. They can do
neither with La Toilette. hence the
vituperation.

His enemies. with the hope of getting

would have jumped at the offer He

tinued the fight. To overcome disease

poets and to get out of debt he de-

the battle, he organized his forces for

crucial point where they have absolute
