LA TOILETTE SPEECH
WHICH RESULTED IN
EXPULSION PETITIONS

'.You cane enlist the: intellectual.
conservative people of the old North
west in such movement unless they
are stirred. and stirred deeply and
unless the reason is sound.
And that reason is to be found
in these very men who are
shouting democracy at the top of
their voices as though she had not
been the heritage not only of your
farms but your factories. and your
shops
II welcome this great movement
which has come out of the North
west. No orders from any depart
rnent OF justice will be able to throt-
tie this great movement that stands
for real representative government.

pay its share of taxes. That was all.
But that was condemned as treason.

disloyal today. But didn't stop then

ST. PAUL, Oct. 11,-It was his
\ speech before the Nonpartlsan
League here on September 20 which
caused numerous petitions to be sent
4 to the senate asking for Senator La
Follett's expulsion.
/ Senator La Toilette began his ad-
dress with the declaration that polit
Z ical parties had failed to give the
1 people representative government.
MANY of you who stood up and
] barred your heads when America
was sung a few moments ago, have
4 forgotten the sacrifices that were
made for that liberty in 1876 and
testifying to a devotion to liberty you
do not feel.
who is abroad crying in the loud
est tones? Business, which is maxi
| ing money. Tn new prophets of pa
triotism are masQuerading in the liv-
cry of heaven while you are serving
the devil. When you can gather in
state after state great meetings like
this under the auspices of the Nom
partisan League 1t means that there
is some power between the people and
government and the people under
partisan domination.
Reals Grange Movement.
Here at the head OF the valley of
the Mississippi in what was old North
west, there was formed the first great
grange movement. the first movement
in the history OF the world to go out
and grapple with corporate power
and seek to restore to the people rep
resentative government. Have you
forgotten that here at the head of
the valley of the Great Father of Wa
ters this great movement had its
birth. Here was Graded the first !n'
dependent movement that went out
to fight corporate power in the Unit
eo States. Here in the states of Min
nesota. Iowa. Wisconsin and Illinois
there was first asserted the right to
control the means of transportation
to the markets of the world.
you are the descendants of tina:
historic contest. In the homes of the
farmers of what like to call the "Old
Northwest was first asserted this
right of the public. From that pro-
pitious hour the movement has spread
tn the east and west until it has be-
come the settled law of the land
That assertion of a public right was
the logical result of a farmers think
ing as he followed the plow. That
was a wonderful piece of reasoning
on the part of the farmer. Our
whole wonderful philosophy and devel-
opment has likewise had its basis in
the fruitage of the farms.
I'm this nonpartisan movement ]
believe there is sown the seeds of Q
great political and social advance
ment, another crop of the seeds from
which the great grange movement
sprang.
This movement could not be un-
less there is something fundamentally
wrong with the government.
u know that the fellows who are
waving the flag most frantically. try
ing to invest this country with a new
form of democracy. a democracy bas-
ed not on equality and liberty, but on
profits.
but they can't succeed when you
can enlist men in sucha a cause as
this.
