LAFOLLETTE HAS
PRESIDENTIAL BEE
REPORT FROM WASHINGTON
SAYS SENATOR WILL TRY FOR
NOMINATION.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-A special from
Washington to the Evening Post
says: Robert NJ. LaFolette of Mis-
consin, will be a candidate for the
republican presidential nomination
in 1912.
The senator has authorized no
such statement, nor have his friends
authorized it for him, but with care
full study given to all signs, move
ments, intimations and more than
half positive admissions there is am
pie justifications for putting forth
the announcement as a fact.
Most of the insurgents in con
gress have said openly that Mr..
Taft's nomination is inevitable and
they have given evidence of an in
tention to support him, but there
has been no promise, either direct
ly or indirectly, that the name of
a candidate in opposition to the
president would not be presented to
the convention.
How do the progressives talk of
La Toilette? Those of them who
have no personal ambitions for high
office nor the report by past achieve
ment to foster them are saying that
hA pcf,, fC h4 ,,1,
wavering, uncompromising warrior
progressive in the republican party.
They say that when others, for the
sake of gaining something in legis-
lation, were willing to compromise,
LaFollette warned against it, worked
against it and voted against it."

PASSENGER REPULSES
STREET CAR R0BBER
TWO BANDITS ROB PASSENGERS
OF CAR UNTIL ONE OFFERS
Resistance.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 2S.-Ielling
like Indian warriors and firing pro-
miscuously from pistols in both
hands, two masked bandits boarded
an inbound beach suburban car on
the outskirts of Santa Monica, short
ly after o'clock tonight, and after
robbing twenty-five passengers and
seriously wounding one of them,
were routed and forced to flee by
single shot.
The shot wounded one or the
robbers. He and his companion es
capped temporarily in the brush, but
a sheriif's posse captured the one
hit by bullet. He was arrested
when he boarded a car to come to
the city to have his wound treated.
Harry l.. Mitchell of Santa Mon
lea, wounded in the fusillade. was
shot in the neck. The bandit who
was shot received the bullet IN the
cheek. Herbert Harlan, the man who
shot him, was struck by a bullet,
which pierced his coat and fell
harmlessly into his vest pocket.
The car, on which more than
city from the beach, had just left
Santa Monica city hall and was ap-
preaching Toxic station, when the
bandits, wearing gaudy bandana
handkerchiefs over the lower part
of their faces, swung aboard, one
at each end of the car.
With yell they began shooting
through the roof and sides of the car
The passengers were terrorized. One
bandit ordered the motorman TO pass
his cap through the car, collecting
money and valuables.
Harlan said afterward he had no
thought of resisting until he saw
Mitchell fall out of his seat wound
ed and felt the blow of the same
bullet which pierced Mitchell's neck
and, crashing through the car parti.
tition, struck him just over the
heart.
Harlan drew his revolver under
cover of his coat and fired through
the doorway.
Instantly the smaller of the two
bandits reeled and let his weapon
fall. Blood spurted from the holes
in both cheeks, showing that Har-
lans bullet had gone through his
face
He grasped an arm of his COM
panion and both raced through the
car to the front and leaped off. It
is not known how much the robbers
obtained from their twenty-five vic
Tins. The hold-up tonight was the
fourth street car robbery here in less
than month.

BALL|NGER'S POSITION
OFFENOS SENATORS
NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR WIG
oRoUsLY OPPOSES ELECTION
BY DIRECT VOTE.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator ia
cob II. Gallinger of New Hampshire
may have some decidedly unpleasant
explaining to do to angry colleagues
because in his legal zeal against the
adoption of the resolution for the
direct election of senators he caus-
ed to be printed at the expense of
congress a document which violently
attacks several senators who came
to the senate as result of primary
elections in the states. The docu-
ment in question is a reprint of a
speech delivered by Albert A. Doub,
a lawyer of Cumberland, Md, be-
fore the annual meeting of the Mary.
land Bar Association. In this speech
occurs the following passage regard
ing the choice of senators as re-
suit of state primaries:
In one southern state the cleo
tions recently repudiated its most
eminent citizen, who had made a
distinguished record for ability and
achievement in the senate, and Sc
lected in his place a notorious dem
agogue; in another a man who for
years had been the leader of his
party only escaped defeat at the
hands of blatherskite by a margin
of a few hundred votes. In a north
western state the people selected a
republican senator whose chief claim
to fame is his devotion to the vaga-
ries of populism, and then chose as
his associate, under the influence Of
bribery, citizen who is distinguish
ed only for his riches and the gen
erosity with which he debauched the
electorate.
The first instance given by Mr..
Doub Enthusiastically refers to the de-
feat of Berry of Arkansas by Jeff
Davis, the second the narrow vic
tory OF John Sharp Williams over
Vardaman in Mississippi and the
third and fourth to LaFollette and
Stevenson of Wisconsin. There is
little doubt that Jeff Davis, LaFol-
lette and Stevenson will call Calling
er to sharp account for his violation
of the senate rules by having print
ed as an official document a speech

son claims that through the sudden
settlement between his client and
the defendant. he is decidedly shy
OF fat fee which he is certain
would have been his had the case
been tried.
According to Murchison he had an
agreemnt with the plaintiff by which
he was to receive twenty-five per
cent of the amount of the verdict
which he expected to be awarded,
as his fees. He declared last night
that he is positive heavy damages
would have been awarded in his
favor had the case progressed
through the regular court channels.
The damage suit is an aftermath
to the failure of the oklahoma City
Post, of which Jenkins was publish
er. two years ago. Action against
the defendant was based on an al
legged agreement whereby in consid-
GRAFTON of jenkins relinquishing a
So, yearly salary as Indian in
spector and establishing the news
paper, Barnes was to contribute ten
thousand dollars when he was called
upon. and more should the other
stockholders get cold feet
jenkins alleges that on the
strength of this agreemnt he re
signed his government position, went
ahead with the newspaper venture
and that after he had spent about
four thousand dollars of his own
money in it, Barnes refused and
continued to refuse to put up" and
that he never invested a single dol
lar in the enterprise, causing the
paper to finally go to the wall.
Attorney Murchison declares that
the asreemnt of a settlement was
made between his client and Attor-
ney P. c. West, counsel for the
defendant, without his knowledge,
and that when the case came up
for trial he was greatly surprised
when he learned of it, He attempt
ed to have the trial go on. but the
judge ordered the case dismissed.
