LaFollette's Broken Promise.

Reporting the speech by Mr.. Thorn
ason, who followed Mr.. Randall, the
Press report quotes the speaker as
follows regarding the ST. Paul meet
Ing addressed by Senator LaFollette:
In the letter of invitation the COM
mittee on speakers asked that he re,
frain from discussing the war in any
way and in his acceptance he prcmis-
ed that he would not. When LaFol-
lette arrived in ST. Paul a committee
waited on him and reminded him of
his promise. LaFollette said that if
he could not talk on the war he might
just as well take the next train out
of town. He was told if that was the
way he felt about it he could go as
soon as he wanted to. The commit
tee then talked to him for a little
time and LaFollette turned to a ste
nographer and dictated a 36-page ad-
dress which did lot touch on the war.
When LaFollette took the platform
that evening he started out on his
prepared talk and got through about
six pages when some one in the gal
lery yelled Yellow Now whatever else
is said, and we admit the accusations
for the sake of argument, about La
Toilette it cannot be said that he is
not a fighter. Mr.. Townley stepped
to the front of the platform and tap
ped LaFollette on the shoulder and
said, Remember your promise 1t
was reported by the opposing papers
that Townley patted him on the back
in approval but / sat on that platform
within six feet Of him and heard all
that was said. LaFollette turned and
looked at Townley for about a minute
and then twisted up the remaining
pages of his speech and let loose.
I'VE are asked why we did not
stop the talk and put him out. This
lis the reason: There were only 1000
league delegates at the meeting and
about 5000 outsiders present. Most
of them were warm supporters of
ELaFollette and if he had been stopped
by force we would have precipitated
2 riot which would have ended in
bloodshed and death.
The next day all of LaFollette's
speech was repudiated by the com.
mittee and all responsibility for the
utterances denied. This fact has new.
er been reported before.

attitude toward the u%tterances of
President A. C. Townley, whose speech
here last fall aroused a storm of cri-
ticism.
You cannot condemn an organiza-
ton for the actions of II member,
he said. 4 know of ministers who
have proven disloyal, but you cannot
condemn religion because a few
preachers have been found wanting. .
LaFoliete is a republican, he said, hut
the republican party is not disloyal.
ProlGermans are in both big parties
but s.you cannot accuse these parties
OF being pro.German.''
