La Follette's Fancies.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Addressing a sympathetic Michigan
audience, Senator La Toilette declared
that the entire business interests of the
country are controlled by less than Il
hundred men. who dictate prices to both
buyers and sellers. We nave heard of
men who have gone broke attempting to
control one set of prices, but we never
heard of any combination OF men who
could long control prices contrary to the
real stare of the market. 1t is sure that
the steel trust, the worlds largest, has
made failure at it, of which the end is
not yet. 1t is sure that within week
tho component parts of the former oil
trust have had to pay more than they
liked for the raw materials which they
wanted. We undertake to say that none
of the senator's one hundred could fix
the rate of discount on his own promis-
sorry note in any reputable bank. or could
get his collateral accepted at an unfair
valuation in any decent money shop.

Mr.. Underwood and the BANQUET.

II is easy to accept the explanation
given for Mr.. CnderwooTs cancellation
of Ills Jackson day engagement. He has
been advised to be careful about his
health. and should be. His services are
o1aluable TO his party. and he should keep
himself in trim to perform them in vigor-
ous style. His breakdown or protracted
indisposition AT this time would greatly
,isarrangc tho democratic congressional
program, and il might seriously injure
the party's presidential program. The
two programs are, after a fashion, inter
locked. II this sessions House record
should be a disappointment-as IL might
be under a floor leadership less capable
than Mr.. Underwood's-the democracy
will pay the penalty in the national cam
paign.
1t was inevitable that at a time when
gossip is general. and all topics are laid
under tribute. this affair should be re-
uuired to yield some. We are told that
Mr.. Underwood is afraid 10 meet Mr..
Bryan, who will attend the banquet and
make a sreech.
But that Is nonsense. Mr.. Underwood
is not .skeery" in any presence. and has
shown himself able to hold his own In q
controversy with Mr.. Bryan. He has opin-
ions on all subjects likely to be referred
TO on the evening Of the sth, and the
courage OF them at all times.
1t is a fact, however, that. at present.
Mr.. Underwood Is charged with heavy
responsibilities, and that the chief OF
them is securing. ii possible. democratic
harmony AT this session of the House.
After All effort. he accomplished that much
at the extra session. and by doing so won
advantage for his party and praise for
himself.
But Lif task now Is heavier than then

Getting Together.

The republicans are giving them
selves a chance of success in the 1912
presidential fight by getting together.
The internal wrangle over conserva-
ton has been wisely disposed of. and
there is excellent prospect of an agree
ment by progrtssives and conservatives
on a dpvnwaul- revised protective and
revenue -G odu0nS tariff. which may
commend itself 70 the country in pref
erence to the democratic proposition.
Ut the hast the lines of battle on
which ttW republicans have of late
met with IL series of defeats will be
sufficiently altered on vital points to
raise reasonable doubt of the OUT
come of the 1912 struggle.
IT may be assumed that the same wis
dom. based ON enlightened seltishness,
will be shown by the republicans in get
ting together on the nominee for the
presidency as is being displayed In get
ting together in respect to the measures
and policies of the campaign. If this
wisdom does prevail there will be, Of
course, no fierce struggle open or under
cover. for control Of the Chicago conven-
ton between Taft and Roosevelt The
nomination Of either man in a manner
WHICH luNuNtu ICpuub60ou diu
tiou Of the other would mean disaster at
the election. as surely as an unbridgeable
difference concerning the tariff or regula-
ton Of the trusts.
1t is almost inconceivable to The Star
that Roosevelt would seek or permit him
self to secure, IL he could, the presi-
Dental nomination. He would stultify
himself In respect to third term candi-
dacy. He would reopen the grand record
OF success as presidential candidate and
as President which history has written
concerning him. and would compel the
writing of postscript or supplemental
chapter which could not add to his his
toric standing and which might brand
with the stigma of defeat and final hui
initiating failure the whole record. He
would be confronted unavoidably in the
campaign by the only issue, the tariff.
which he consistently eHaded as danger
GUS during his administration. His re-
cent defeat in the New York state fight
shows that his enemies are alert and I'M
relenting There Is no consideration for
tidding his candidacy In 190S. when he
refused on principle u third term nomina-
tion. which does not exist In fun vigor
today.
But Wniic hoO6eSest ChIufOt TedSOHdUyJ
he conceived as the republican candidate
in 1872. he is entitled to the party's con-
sideration and respect, and should not be
badgered for daily renewals Of oaths OF
allegiance. abnegation and self-denial.
II Is hard to see how republican success
in 19I: can be based on population OF the
republican administration, which has
steered wise middle course between

and free traders, between the money
trust and the labor trust. between Wall
street and the judicial recall. And it is
equally hard to imagine q republican sue
cess based on preliminary humiliating
defeat of the Roosevelt progressives.
The moral is obvious. Get together.

WASHINGTON, Oct. SI.-In rest
full Washington, where no brass bands
boom. and campaign orators do not
thunder. there is opportunity to get a
steady peep sight ON the national
election, and the bald fact Is that
here the political horizon is COM
pleteIy filled by the looming figure of
the Bull Moose.
AT the one spot where political
decisions might be excused. there are
none. The president, in the inner
circle of the White House, frankly
admits his coming defeat, anu is
reconciied to the inevitable. The bit
terest part Ia that he strongly fears
that he Is to be succeeded by the
man to- whom he was successor.
TO his close friends the president
does not disguise his belief that not
only may Roosevelt deadlock the cleo
torai college. but that even his cleo
t!on Is a strong probability. All the
confidential reports which have
reached the president during the past
week indicate that Taft has not made
any progress, that Wilson has lost
ground, and that Roosevelt has gained
and IL gaining by leaps and bounds.
AS the president and his immediate
friends see the situation. Roosevelt
has more than fighting chance in

Michigan. In addition to states In the
