Senator La Toilette or Wisconsin Is
going to have fight for his life i'm the
upper chamber, according to report
which sets forth the plans Of the Re
publican organization to retire him from
business. The Senator is accused Of be
ing an undesirable citizen; OF being I'M
duly pugnacious. or stirring up conten-
ton, Of impugning mems motives with
unnecessary freedom. and of getting in
the way of proceedings which he doesn't
approve with a stubbornness and per
tinacity which yield TO no modifying Ell
forts.
The Badger Senator has accumulated
an array of enthusiastic enemies among
his colleagues by reason Of his attacks.
i'm the Senate and on the public plat
form. upon the measures and motives
OF men. He IS credited with no small
part in the business of retiring several
Senators from seats to which they de-
sired to retain their relations; notably
Long Of Kansas. Ankeny OF Washing
ton. and, Kittredge of South Dakota

especial displeasure OF La Toilette, and

share Of the credit for their retirement.

But that wasn't all When the fight
in New Jersey against the election of
John F. Dryden TO succeed himself was
just shaping. La Toilette went into -ha
State, making lectures, political and
otherwise and camped on the trail OF
Dryden, co. whom he seemed to have a
special aversion. The Republican anti
Drydanites elected two or three MEM
bers OF the Legislature, and their
meager accomplishment was attributed
largely to the la Toilette influence
Those few votes were enough TO defeat
Dryden. and now the man who was
chosen in his stead. Briggs. is showing
