even greatly delay the wheels of legisla-
tion. but Il nadc n great hit and since
then hc has received over eight thousand
letters Of conmendation, and they came
from all parts Of The country. Senator Ja
Toilette, despite tho fact that ho had al
WAYS been a genius at publicity. had a Ike
experience soon after he came tc the Sen
ate. lie conducted flibuster on the Al
drlch financial bill, and kept II up for TWEEN
tv-four hours. La Toilette was well known
I'm his own section of the country but Al
drich was known in every section, and
wherever a yellow journal or muckrakinc
maEazine had a subscriber he was under
sispicion. After his hlibuster against the
Aldrich bill Senator Ia Toilette received
literally thousands of letters of commcndd-
tion. No one OF his press agent stunts
ever Welded such handsome returns.
