It was made by nonunion labor? II
they did this they would have to throw
the most of 1t in the alley. A large
percentage Of the breweries through

"a Toilette had been overwhelmingly
,.footed BY the voters Of Wisconsin in
40 Presidential primaries for the selec-

"a Toilette had elected not more than
four or five delegates to the convention,
md that, as a result of his crushing de-
,sst he would cut a negligible figure at
chicago, and that his rejection at this
election meant his elimination from the
United States Senate in the fall. The
rress of the East rejoiced over the de-
.,ot Of the Badger boss, as he was
termed. The Little Giant" had passed

which he stood, while the halls Of Con-
oress would hear him no more.

A VAN-LOAD OF REFERENCE
BOOKS IN THE DELIVERY
OF ONE SPEECH.

This is part of the process. The other
part is books and official records. La
Toilette works when he is not brooding.
He works like hod-carrier. When the
Payne Aldrich Tariff bill was dragging
itself slowly along during the hot sum-
mer months of 1909 La Toilette was
studying schedules, reports, differences
in production costs. He was comforting
with all sorts of men in whom he had
confidence. A van was necessary to
bring all the books from the Congress
sional Library that he consulted in tho
preparation Of one speech alone.
Ultimately a decision is reached. 1t
is his own. 1t may be long and volumi-
nous, but it is complete. And if the
premises upon which it is based are cor
rect, it is automatically sound. 1t
may take hours to deliver it in the Sen
ate, but the speech is accepted as some
thing final on the subject. And because
Of his thoroughnesS and honesty his
opinion is waited on not only by men,
bers of Congress, but by the country as
well. And, despite the battles he has
waged and the enmities he has incurred,
there is no man in Congress who is
more generally respected for his men
tai integrity and character. Whether
loved or feared, La Toilette is never de-
spised. He is never ignored. And he is
not suspected of dishonesty or disingen-
uOusness.

THEY COME FORTY MILES TO
HEAR HIM IN HIS OWN
COUNTRY.

La Toilette speaks longer than any
other man in Congress when ne Is lect-
uring through the country, but the peo-
pie stay often until midnight to hear
him unfold his story. And once you
have listened to him you understand
why he speaks at such length. You
have to speak to the point Of WEAKNESS
TO tell the struggle OF privilege and
democracy. And out West, where La
Toilette loves best to speak, the farm
ers come from thirty to forty miles to
hear him. They want TO hear him clear
through, and, Judging by the confidence
that the West has in him and the way
the politics Of one-half of the country
has been modified by his legislation and

La Toilette thinks hard. His opinions

mature slowly. He seems to both trust
and, for the time being, diStrust him
self. At least, he trusts no one else to
make up his mind, unless it is Mrs. La
Toilette, and no estimate of Senator La
Toilette is more than half correct that
does not include the calm, clear-visioned
opinions of his wife.

TUE LITTLE GIANT" OF VISION
SIN is A LONG WAY FROM
POLITICAL OBLIVION.


Finally the truth about the election
hAcan TO leak through. La Toilette had
,ot been defeated. Rather he had
achieved a remarkable victory, in many
wavs the most remarkable victory of his
life Instead of being rejected by his
state. it appears that he ran 100000
ahead of Governor Philip, an equal
number ahead of his own delegates
in the state at large, and 5000
ahead of his delegate in Milwaukee.
Seeing his name upon the ballot, the
voters marked it, thinking that was all
that was required. Had they marked
his delegates names as well he would
have swept the state AS it was, SIX
teen of his delegates out of twenty-four
we're elected, and up to late returns two
more were in doubt.
This result was remarkable for the
reason that few, If any, Of those who
voted for him believed that he could be
nominated for the Presidency. They
voted for him with the knowledge that
they we're throwing away their ballots.
In effect, they said by their votes: 1--WE
do not expect you to be nominated, but
We do believe in the things you stand
for, the issues you have battled for, and
We desire to give You our power OF attor-
ney to carry the Wisconsin idea onto the
floor of the Republican convention in the
hope that you can save the party from
the privileged interests, who are seek
ing to control it as they did in 1912"
A REGULAR SIXTEEN YEARS
AGO, A REBEL EVER SINCE
THAT'S LA TOILETTE.
La Toilette has been in public life al
most continuously from the day he
graduated from college. He has always
been on the firing line. He has never
given quarter or asked for quarter. He
fights hard and spares none. His con-
yictions on public questions compel tins
kind Of fighting. He was on the Ways
and Means Committee that framed the
Mckinley tariff. He was a perfectly
regular Republican then, as he was when
first elected Governor, sixteen years
ago. He has been rebel ever since
not against the Republican party, not
against the party organization. Rather
he has been a rebel against the use of

roads and public service corporations in
Wisconsin were escaping taxation. They
we're making some one else pay their
taxes because they controlled the Legis-
lature, which made the laws. The rail-
roads were giving rebates; they were
charging what they chose for the service
rendered. So La Toilette urged the
creation Of railroad commission. The
people were not able to break into the
political game because Of the political
machinery which was framed against
them. So he worked out the direct
primaries law and backed other meas
ures for the initiative, referendum and
recall.
