His Undeliyered Attack on Govt
Too Hot Even for Radicals.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 22-Federal
authorities are today carefully scrut-
inizing the speeches delivered by Sem
ator La Toilette and President y. G.
Townley, of the partisan league,
at mammoth mass-meeting here last
night. I. f. Campbell, of the depart
ment of justice, personally listened to
La Follette's address and verbatim
copies of both addresses were sent to
Washington today,
La Toilette had prepared a bitter
attack on the administration, but
when Townley and league leaders
heard of it they requested that he
not give it. La Toilette then spoke
eXtemporaneouSly.
TOwnley Also Bitter
Campbell refused to say whether
the government would take any action
against either Townley or La Toilette,
tho IL was believed La Follette's posi-
ton would make him immune In his
address last night he practically chal-
ienSed secret service men to stop him
from speaking. Townleys address
was bitter against the way America is
conducting the war, tho he PROGRESSED
loyalty.
1T is impossible for us to convince
German people who are buying bread
Tor half what We have to pay that
they want any of our liberty or de-

can be no liberty or democracy
brought into the world by America
until we go to the rest of the world
with clean hands ourselves"

Governor James r. Ferguson com

senate without telling where he bor-

been on the stand twenty-one hours,
and had undergone a fearful gruelling
by the prosecution.
He was asked by his own counsel.

Ihirty-one thousand dollars
Ferguson replied.
How much did you expend in your

Thirty-four hundred dollars" was
the reply.
The senate stood at ease while coun-

probably Will be reached today, senate
