La TOILETTE GIVE HIM NICE,
CHRISTMAS PRESENT IN
SHAPE OF HUGE SWAT.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
MADISON, Wis, Dec. "a
Senator La Toilette. in his weekly
magazine, today presents Senator
Nelson ID. Aldrich with a Chris
mas present, incidentally swat
ting at Senator Flint of Califor-
mia. Senator La Follette's gift is
contained in an editorial labeled
"The Aldrich Control" which
says:
"Aldrich is shrewd trader
as the man who sticks the muzzle
of a gun into your face on a dark
. night and demands money or
your life is a shrewd trader. He
ascertains what you want and
makes you pay his price. That
price is fidelity and subservi-
ence to the Aidrich control"
Referring to the special tariff
session of congress, called by
President Taft, the editorial COM
ments:
The shrewd trades Aldrich
framed would have fallen flat If
Speaker Cannon hadn't packed the
house conference"
Senator La Toilette quotes Bur-
rows of Michigan, who is said to
have remarked: Whenever ]
wanted anything for Michigan,
always knew where to get it. He
(Aldrich) never failed me-"
The editorial continues:
But burrows did not tell his
people. that in return for the lit
tie dribble of petty favors which
