A VICTORY FOR AMERICA
What LaFoiIette's Reelection Means
to the Nation

The election of President is nc
more distinctly a national matter
than the reelection of Senator Rob
ert M. LaFollette in Wisconsin. No
public official in the White House, on
the Supreme Bench Or in Congress
in generation has been more truly
and worthily national public ser
want than Senator LaFollette. No
section, no class, no state, no cult
or creed or even party has been able
to win his support as a United States
Senator away from a broad, coura-
geous, intelligent conception of the
duty to this whole nation. His record
is guide in the Senate to the
brave wise statesmanlike course in
every crisis. Robert NJ LaFollette
is by all odds the biggest man in
the United States Senate. He has
seen more of his demands met,
more of his ideals realized, more of
his plans mature into reality than
any other Senator who has been in
public life in this generation.
Moreover, he has seen these de-
mands met, ideals realized and plans
mature, not by sitting idly and hop
ing; but by fighting with all the ar
dor Of a crusader and all the intelli-
gence Of trained political general.
What record of political victories
his career has been and not once has
chance favored him! Every fight has
been won upon it's merits, after a
fierce contest. He has hit the en-
envy line at it's strongest point, and
has gone through. SO he is battle
Scared and weighted with enemies
But his enemies are his best recon-
mendation. His scalps are his lau-
rels.
For not once has he been lined up
with special privilege Always has
he been fighting for more equitable
economic conditions for the people
always has he stood for broader and
more democratic control of this gov
eminent. The aristocracy of organ
lied aggrandized wealth and OF
crafty political plutocracy knows Sen
ator La Toilette for it's uncompromis-
ing foe 1t never sleeps. It is after
him now His fall will mean a tri-
umph of money and privilege in
America.
Of course it will not fight fair-this
secret power that stalks in every
state seeking to sweep clean men
from politics. Senator La Toilette
will have to meet lies; he will have
to fight against half-truths twisted
into vicious falsehoods He will have
to stand against malice posing as pa
triotism and he will have to combat
not merely open bribery, but corrup-
ton masking as state pride and ma
tional honor.
Yet he will win. The good sense
and good Judgment of the people of
Wisconsin has been too often tried
to admit of a doubt. And when he
wins-what a victory it will be-not
merely for wisconsin but for Amer
lea! William Allen White. in his
paper, "The Emporia Gazette July

district has really statewide signifi-
canoe. 1t is recalled that Woods Is
chairman OF the republican national
congressional committee. AS such he
Is handling the fight for the whole
party with a view to assuring re-
publican congress. 1t will also be re-
called that Woods enemies some time
ago gave wide publicity to the story
that as chairman he had been shorn
Of all authority and that a committee
would handle things. That was the
program with few OF the members OF
the committee. But the fact is that
they either failed or have been COM
PEELED to back track; for the congress
slonal committee has placed absolutely
everything in the hands OF Mr.. Woods
and he il the factotum Of that COM
mittee in every particular. His ster-
ling honesty and his political res
sourcefulness appealed to the candi-
-dates for congress everywhere and II
was because OF this that he was given
full control. This OF course, compels
him to remain in Washington-and he
must rely on loyal Iowa people to see
to 1t that he Is not undermined al

ton a republican congress. And q
also means that with a republican ad-
ministration. no matter who Is the

he will become a great factor In ma

for this reason that the sentiment u

figure that the plan has slowly but
surely reduced the population Of the I'M
stitution, which is now less than at any
time in it's history. sF.
The new plan of releasing inmates on
both the LIST and 18th will lower the
population so rapidly that rnere VIII
scarcely be a corporars guard at the
institution by Jan. /. 1917. The guard
force and civilian helpers In all the de-
partments is also being cut as rapidly
as circumstances will permit. And all
this Is going on methodically. accord
ing to reliable report. with the inten-
tion Of eventually closing the institu-
ton as a refuge for the festive jag, the
new prohibition laws reducing the
thirsty population of the state to a
point where such care on the part or
the authorities will be unnecessary.
Word comes from one of the trusted
attaches of the hospital that Superin-
tendent Mackin will appear oerore the
general assembly next win.er and give
good reasons why the institution as 1t
now exists should be closed. At the
same time he will ask the legislature
to enact laws converting it into hos
