NEW ASSAULT
ON LAFOLLETTE
Patronage Taken Away From
Adherents Here-voigt
Starts Filibuster.
Nv Universal servics.

A patronage row which threatens
to bring about definite breach he.
tween the Republican party organiza-
ton and members Of the La Follctte
faction In Wisconsin, possibly re-
sulting in an attempt to read them
out Of the q. p. O., broke out In
the House yesterday.
The situation was disclosed when
Congressman Edward Voigt, Of the
Second Wisconsin district, went on
the warpath, with the avowed pur.
pose Of using every possible parlia-
mentary obstacle to block the trans.
action Of business and prevent the
beginning Of three-day recesses plan.
ned for next week. Investigation
Of the filibuster developed that the
Postoffice Department has with.
drawn its recognition of Mr.. voigt.
along with several other Wisconsin
members who are La Toilette adher.
ents. as patronage dispensers and
now recognizes only Senator Len.
root. Senator La Toilette, himself,
1t is said, makes no effort to con-
troll the appointments.
Voigt, according to his friends, felt
particularly aggrieved because he
claims to have been assured a. year
ago that he would be recognised in
the appointment Of postmasters in
his district.
Voigt forced four roll-calls on
points Of no quorum yesterday, caus-
ing q loss of more than two hours of
time. Only q few members more
than a quorum are in the city now
and IL many more leave, II VIII be
possible for him to entirely stop
business by points of no quorum
until the whips get busy and bring
back enough to go ahead.
The present open controversy is
regarded as the climax of the row
Of long standing between Senators
La Toilette and Lenroot. There are
rumors that the organization will
press its fight to the end that the La
Toilette faction will be forced to be.
come regular and play the party
game" or lose its standing and rec.
ognition as Republican. -
