Editor Willmar Tribune:
The Minneapolis Tribune printed
an account Of Mr.. Manahan's speech
at Willmar in which is given my vote
on three propositions. To this I re-
piled as follows:

good men are trying to solve. Sen

He introduced No. 1862 and while we
realized that no bill could be agreed
on at that session the Garfield and
Moonan bills on that subject were
discussed and amended and voted on,
and among those that stood by Sen
ator Garfield were such men as Sen
ators Dale, Putnam, Witherstine and
Wright, and on the Moonan bill No.

Wanted-A Confession of Facts.

"There should be publicity Of cam
paign contributions during the cam
paign."
These words are quoted from the
speech of Theodore Roosevelt, deliv-
cred at Chicago on the sixth day of
August, 1912, before the Roosevelt
Convention.
He called MS speech his 'confes-
sion Of faith" Much interest would
have been added by making it also
a confession Of facts, pertaining to
the contributions to his campaign for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton.
The public knows that he spent an
enormous amount Of money in that
campaign. In some states, as in Ohio,
for example, it has beer: conserv-
atively estimated that not less than
three hundred thousand dollars were
expended to secure delegates for him,
Go where you would throughout the
country in that campaign, it was
common talk that "there was all
kinds Of Roosevelt money every
where"
It is generally believed that this
money was, in large part, the unlaw-
full spoils of the trusts which thriv-
ed by special favor, at the expense OF
the people, under the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration.
Campaign contributions Of such
magnitude are made by those who
have big interests to serve. They are
"pra ctical" business men and expect
big favors in return.
When the presence Of money in the
Roosevelt campaign for the Repub-
lican nomination became so glaring-
ly conspicuous. the1e was verv gen.
eral impression that,-to quote the
words Of his recent convention
speech,-"there should be publicity
Of campaign contributions during The
campaign"
He was accordingly invited t.
make such a statement. He did no
respond to that invitation.
Interest in the matter has in no de.
gree abated. Indeed, it has steadily
grown until there is wide public de-
mand that he should tell the peopl
all about it.
| Until he makes a clean breast O.
the financing Of his last campaign
his Chicago declaration for "public
lily Of contributions" in this cam
paign, is an insult to public intelli
gence.-Robert M. LaFollette.

The reporter of the Wllmar Trib-
une added two more counts against
me in his report Of that speech: S.
F. No. 248, Session Of 1907-to ex-
tend primaries to- state Offices,
Thorpe voted "No" and so did Sen
ators Canestorp, Dale, Durment, Ell
we'll, Fitzpatrick, Gunderson, Hack
ney, Peterson, Putnam, White, Will
son, Witherstine and Wright. In
these and other matters it may be
we'll to remember that during the
years since these bills we're acted on,
considerable information and expert
ence has been gained. The second
choice provision had not been invent
ed at that time. To be perfectly
frank about the matter, no one was
able to prepare a satisfactory bill.
I paid an attorney out of my own
pocket to work out a plan, but this
also failed.

eyes" and so did Mr.. Manahan's
committee chairman. Senator Sun
berg and 81 other Senators, only
voted against. This bill is No. 412
not Ill.
And lastly comes the Distance Tar
if Bill. If this bill could be made so
that it would not, in practical oper-
alton, destroy many villages and de-
prive the farmers of a home market,
all should vote for it. It is sufficient
here to say that such a good and true
reformer as Senator Sundberg voted
against this bill at the last session.
AS the Senator is chairman Of his
committee, it would seem that Mr..
Manahan's criticism Of my vote on
this bill is not we'll founded, because
he cannot wish to attack his own
chairman.
In fact Senator Sundberg and I
we're almost invariably found on the
same side, supporting reform meas
ures.
I am sorry that my opponent has
found it necessary to resort to irres-
ponsible newspapers and publish such
stuff as this: II have been informed
that Senator Thorpe voted against
the two cent passenger rate bill, but
l have not had time to personally
verify this from the records"
The fact is we'll known and the rec
ords so prove that I voted for and
supported the two cent passenger
rate bill, the classification and reduc-
ton Of freight rates and abolishing
passes.
It may be observed, in general, that
any man during a period Of twelve
years, voting on thousands of bills at
one time or other, will err in judgment
and subsequent events and changed
conditions will show that on some
measures a different course would
have been better. l do not claim to
be infallible-a fault deplorable, but
rather common in mankind; but do
claim to have at all times acted hon
estly and for the best interest Of the
people. am opposed, as ever, to all
trusts and combinations whether it is
called sugar trust, money trust or
any other name.
