 Senator LaFollette then contin- ued:
 "I don't believe the country is going to find any measure of relief by wandering off into unexplored fields under the guidance of a pilot who aired very supreme control while we were getting in exactly the same condition the country is in today.

TRUSTS CREW FAST UNDER RooSE-
 WELT.
Increased From l4o to 10, 900 While He Was President, Says LaFollette.

 a picturesque, spontaneous out burst during debate on the presi- bent's wool tariff veto in the senate, senator LaFollette yesterday attacked the Progressive party, and swore new allegiance to progress i've Republicanism.
 The original insurgent" poured a flood of impassioned oratory that kept the floor and galleries rapt and silent.
 After reviewing the trust record of Col. Roosevelt, senator La Toilette declared that the former president was mot the man to find the way out now" He said that when the Republican party, through its progressive associates, has reached point where it would respond to the purposes for which 1t was born, an attempt Is made at Chicago to divert it"
 Senator Stone asked MT. La Toilette whether he meant the nomination of president Taft or the nomination of expresident Roose- welt.
 q am surprised" began senator LaFollette, "that 1 left the senator from Missouri in doubt. I hope I did not leave doubt in the mind of any one else"
 Then moving down the center aisle, he continued:
 "0n the day that Theodore Roosevelt was made president of the United States, there were 149 trusts and combinations in the United States. When he turned this government over to William Howard Taft, there were 10,020 plants in combination. When he became president the trusts had an aggregate capitalization of $3:00C,000,000 and when he left the presidency they had aggregate capitalization of $31 1,000,000,000, and more than 70 per cent of it was water.
 "The present administration has sought to apply the antitrust law more vigorously than it's predeces- sor; but the time to have applied the Sherman antitrust law effect lively was in the infancy of trusts, W hen there were only 149.
 II don't believe that the man who was president at the time of all times in the history of the Sherman antitrust law when it could have been made potential in deciding trust legislation-I do not think the man who was president then is the man to find they way out"
 Then turning to senator Stone, senator LaFollette bowed and in- quired:
 "Does that answer the senator from Missouri?"
 "That does fairly we'll" respond ed senator Stone, drily.
 Senator LaFollette's outburst came without warning. He arose to make an analysis of the presi- dents veto message of the wool bill, but had spoken scarcely a dozen words when the break came. He saw that many Republican senators had left their seats as he began to speak and with bitter smile he turned to the president of the senate:
 ''I note the fact" he said, "that on the Republican side there are
