Interesting Pair of Glaring Senators

posite sides of the big question, but
they are opposite in temperament,
character, training, and every other
respect.
Senator Aldrich punched a few
street railroads in his native state,
sold and resold them until he can
afford to be United States senator
as long as he lives. Senator La Fol
lette grabbed at fame with one hand
and carved out a lecture career with
the other in order to make a living on
the side. He wants money only to
blow it in ON his show.
Senator Aldrich has a sublime faith
in the wisdom Of men with money,
and he fights for them al he would
for principles. What is best for them
he considers best for the whole coun.
try. If they prosper and are salts
fed, it follows, according to his doc
trine, that all must be prosperous and
contented. Senator La Toilette takes
the other end Of the game. He is FOR
the man who has very little money,
for the n who individually works for
every dollar he gets. And they stand
up in the senate about six feet spars
and fight it out along these lines.

Leading for a Fall.

unmeasured ridicule, unlimited criti-
cism and eventually to inevitable de-

credited his own leadership before the
senate and before the country"
1--WE will have much more trouble

people than u own" is what Clapp
Of Minnesota says in reply to some OF
the Rhode islanders taunts.
The copy of the Congressional Rec
ord reporting the debate in which
these amenities occurred is worth fill
ing for reference after the congress
sional elections Of next year.
If Mr.. Aldrich is not riding the Re
publican party for a fall there is nc
truth in prophecy. The direction IL
which he is trying to lead the Repub
lican party is one in which it has al

And marching close at his heels are

WEST DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
Great Section Of the Country Looks
to President Taft to Redeem
Party Pledges.

The Republican party would not
now be in power If the voters Of the
west and middle west had not rallied
last November to Taft's support.
And why did many of these western
states send Bryan to defeat for the
third time?
1t was because the Republican
party, through it's convention plat
form, it's campaign spokesman, and
through direct pledges from TAT. him.
self, promised that the burden Ct un.
necessary tariff taxation should be
lifted from the vests shoulders.
President Taft knows that this is
the case. He knows what western sen.
timent is on genuine tariff revision,
He knows also that it is this same
west that has come to the rescue OF
the Republican party in various ma.
tional crises.
Doubtless some of the New
England senators know this also. The
grand dukes of the money power
headed by Aldrich, may know it, but
they don't care. All they ask is that
the west shall continue helping tc
vote the Republican party into power
The forcing Of the wool schedule by
Aldrich in the face of the western
plea for revision, and despite Senator
Delivers expose of it's dishonesty
puts Aldrich in the position of endan
gering the Republican party.
1t is to President Taft that western
consumers naturally turn for {
square deal" in this tariff crisis
They made him president. And they
sincerely hope they will never have
occasion to regret it.
Political ideals are known in thu
west. In other words, the west be
lieves in broad fundamental policie:
of government. 1t is willing that New
England mill bosses should thrive, blu
not at the expense Of the rest of TIT
nation.
Give the west a square deal,
President Taft.
