LAFoLLETTE AND ROOSEVELT.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post
LaFollette's latest attack upon
Roosevelt is the most smashing be has
yet made. Coming from any source 1t
would be damaging, so formidable are
the facts it arrays, and coming from
the pioneer Progressive, who held the
true faith when Roosevelt scorned it,
it is peculiarly deadly. The Wisconsin
senator retorts upon the colonel his
charge of fraud" at Chicago with
terrible effect, showing that no one
was more ready and anxious than he
was to "steal" delegates But per-
haps the most destructive part Of La
Foliettes arraignment is that in which
he shows that Mr. Roosevelt deliber-
ately sacrificed the Progressive cause
to his personal ambition. Comparing
his selfish attitude at Chicago with
Bryau's course at Baltimore, to the
infinite moral disadvantage of the col
onel. is the last stroke Of the senator
from Wisconsin and one that Oyster
Bay must regard as wickedly insulting.
The question is how long will the col
dnel endure these repeated assaults of
LaFollette without replying? Has he
suddenly abandoned his proud boast
that nobody can hit him without get
ting ruder buffet in return? The fact
that Mr. Roosevelt has deeply wronged
LaFollette surely will not restrain him
from following up betrayal with abuse.
