Washington, April 29.-The refusal
of the Senate Republican regulars to
permit LaFo1lette, progressive, OF
Wisconsin,, to serve on the committee
on interstate commerce has opened
the Senate which, today, threatens
serious results. The progressives
charged that LaFollette was shut '.be-
cause he knew too much about the
railroads. and in support Of this
contention, Senator Bristow, (Rep.
Kas.), today, wrote the following for
the United Press:
(By United States Senator Joseph l.
Bristow.)
I regard Senator LaFollette as the
best equipped man in the Senate for
a position on the committee on in
terstate commerce. All legislation
relating to the regulating of public
service corporations, the fixing OF
rates, the correcting of discrimina-
tons and the preventing Of over
capitalization, comes before that COM
mittee-
LaFollette has probably given more
attention to these subjects than any
other man in Congress. The principal
work of his life for the past sixteen
years has been along these lines. An
examination Of the laws of Wiscon-
sin on these subjects will demon
strate that his work has been most
effective. That state, without ques-
ton. has the best laws governing
public service corporations of any
state in the union.
Since the public service commission
of Wisconsin was established it has
fixed the rates, giving the transpOrta-
ton companies fair remuneration for
the services rendered and protecting
the people from extortion

Of the Bleriot Manufacturers that the
