SENATOR La Toilette
PREDICTS BIG REVOLT
Says People viii Drive Privilege
From High Places.

Madison, Wis. Nov. 16.-"There will
come day when the people will rise
in righteous revolt against these enc

by stealth and treachery." These are
the words of Senator La Toilette in
commenting upon the defeat alleged to
have been accomplished by the money
ed interests of Pom L. Johnson Of
Cleveland and of Francis ]. Heney Of
San Francisco in recent elections.
Senator La Toilette said: "The strug.
gle to wrest our government in city,
state and nation from the clutches of
special privilege has been marked by
many setbacks. It is long struggle.
a big struggle. 1t is not in TIE books
that the leaders of the peoples cause
should win every engagement.
There is stirring in the hearts Of
the American people mighty unrest.
This unrest is the quickening of ma
tons conscience, pricked by the
shameless outrages of plundering cor
porations and privileged : interests
against justice and right and decency.
And Heney has helped to bring about
this unrest. He has aroused the peo-
pie to an understanding that clean
government cannot be until the big
corrupters and not merely their agents
or victims are brought within the pale
of the law"

found hanging this morning from a

plans that he had in mind. He left q
widow. who is visiting relatives some
where in Ohio, and an aged father
who made his home with his son here.
A letter to his ife was found in his
pocket. but it was not addressed, and
contained nothing to indicate that he
was dissatisfied or contemplated self
destruction.

years old and came to Maryville
about year ago from Oak Park, a
; suburb of Chicago, where he had been
the assistant rector of an Episcopal
church. He had intended to go to
Chicago next week to attend an an
niversary celebration at his old
church. and his wife was to have met
him there. He awoke about 5 O'Clock
this morning and his father heard
him working at a stove as II he in
tended to start fire. A moment
later he left the house and nothing
more was seen of him until his body
was found hanging from the bridge.
