SENATOR LAFOLLETT

The Marion people, who attended
the LaFolletts lecture Wednesday
.evening, were given little inside
Information into the business and
governmental affairs OF the country,
first handed and from one or the
highest sources In the country, SEN
ator Robert NJ. LaFollette.
Senator LaFollette is one OF those
fearless speakers. who does not hesi-
tate to speak those things which he
knows, no matter where or when.
He Is as fearless upon the floor OF
the senate or before an audience in
his own state as he Is upon the lee
ture platform before an audience,
whose members can do him no
harm, politically. Marion people
have long recognized him as one Of
the foremost men OF the nation, but
they never SO fully realized his true
worth and ability as last night
when he fearlessly spoke OF purer
politics In the nation.
This is the day OF reformers. Al
most every state can boast OF one
or more men who have the courage
TO fearlessly attack the great COR
porations which are going beyond the
bounds of legitimate business and
the people. but among the
fearless, conscientious men or the ma
tion. there is not superior to sena-
tor LaFollette.
