SENATOR LA FOLLETTE'S VISIT

Senator La Toilette, candidate for
the nomination of President of the
United States, spoke in Waterto"n
Saturday evening.
The Senator is interesting, as a
speaker, as a citizen of our state and
as a national character.
Many there are who cling to his
ideals, some of which ideals are COM
mendable, and many of which are
not.
Time was when the Senator would
have entered Watertown with the
blare of trumpets, red fire burning
and parade.
He came to the city Saturday and
was quietly met at the station by
three of our citizens.
In years agone the hall in which
the Senator spoke was filled and all
who wanted to hear him could not
gain admission.
Saturday evening not all seats on
the gallery was at least one-half
empty, and of the twenty-seven
chairs on the stage twenty had no oc-
cupants.
There is but one Interpretation to
this condition of affairs-Mr. La
Toilette as an all powerful political
factor is wanning.
But one thing must be borne in
mind by those who do not believe in
Senator La Follette's theories-he is
a power in Wisconsin politics today
and beyond question a power large
and strong. His following is not COM
posed of the riff-raff of our citizen
ship, but of men who are as earnest as
his opponents.
THE LEADER hopes for the perman-
ent retirement of the Senator to
private life, but he has been, and is
to today, too big a man in our states
affairs to abuse.
True, if conditions prevailing Satur-
day evening are an indication of the
straws showing which way the wind
blows, one can believe that his power
and influence have been greatly
weakened This does not mean, how
ever, that he Is not a considerable
factor to be reckoned with, and the
opposition to the Senator does not
want to delude itself into the belief
that displacing him is an easy task,
no matter how pleasing that displace-
ment might be.

This is a measure of preparedness.
The next election will result in a
Republican majority in Congress and
all these employees will be off the
Government payroll. In consequence,
this Democratic statesman seeks to
make ready soft place for them to

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

There is nobody who can predict the
identity of the Republican presidential
nominee with certainty. But it is
comparatively safe to predict that the
platform will not differ radically from
that of 1912. No temporary question
arising from our foreign relations will
be the Republican paramount. The
recent debate in Congress shows that
cur relations with Europe are not the
subject of party division there They
will not be in the country at large,
and the party that tries to force such
an issue will be justly rebuked. Nor
is it likely that the party will abandon
the Sherman act and take up with the
persistently advocated state socialism
scheme of trust regulation to which
Mr.. Perkins is so devoted.
The war has raised two issues which
demand attention. One is the protec-
ton of the American home market
against a flood of foreign products.
1t would be folly to intrust that pro-
lection to a party which solemnly de-
clares lit to be a fundamental prin-
ciple that the Federal Government,
under the constitution, has no right
or power to impose or collect tariff
duties except for the purpose of reve-
nue.. We cannot ask officials to COM
init perjury, which Democrats would
have to do if they dealt with the sit
uatiOn as it must be dealt with The
other great question is the retention
of the American merchant marine be-
ing built up by abnormal conditions
when they shall have ended This
cannot be accomplished by the govern
ment, buying few ships of its own.
as the present administration pro-
poses. 1t is a problem the Republi-
cans must solve.
The Republican nominee should be,
above everything else, broad-gauged,
level-headed Republican, who may be
trusted to dope in sensible way not
only with present problems, but with
any that may arise in an era of start
ling changes. 1t is not necessary for
him to be spectacularly brilliant. The
occasion calls for calm judgment and
great courage and tenacity in protect
ing the country's real interests.

When Senator Fall of New Mexico,
a Republican, asked the State Depart
ment of the documents on file regard
ing Mexico, the information was re-
fused on the ground that it was "in-
compatible with the public interest"
though the Mexican problem is one of
immediate and pressing Importance.
But when Senator Stone of Missouri,
a Democrat, asks for the documents
regarding Korea, they are promptly
forthcoming, though the Korean in
cident was ended years ago and never
was of consequence to the United
States.

methods while the cost of living has
increased from 1894 to 1915. The diff
ference, he said went to the manufac-
turers to make them richer He did
not explain, however, that some
''robber manufacturers" were paying
much higher wages and more for raw
materials which enter into their
products. He did not attempt to tell
what the percentage Of added profit to
the manufacturer is; but from the
