La Toilette Candidate Americas Most Sacred Trust

sive he is entirely destructive. We can
not tear down our Constitution which
has lived through the centuries with
out offering in Its place something
that we know is basic and fundament-
ally in accord with our National ideals.
We can not do away with our SCourts,
we cannot deprive our citizens OF the
right to engage in industry and busi-
ness in competition to each other by
putting the control of all business in
the hands of the government and MAX
ing the Federal Government compe-
titor to you and me.
In conclusion LaFollette can not
be supported by those who believed
in prohibition as LaFollette has ever
been the candidate of the Vets. He
has always been the friend of Wiscon-
sin brewers and has even so expressed
himself by his vote and in his speeches.
He can not be supported by the far
mer who considers the result Of his
vote, for LaFollette would take our
railroads, our transportation facilities,
from the hands of private citizens and
place them in the direct control and
ownership of the government. Our ex-
preeince during the war has shown that
such procedure results in nothing more
than additional expense, fragrant and
excessive waste Of government money
and most of all an increase of freight
rates. Surely farmer does not desire
any further increase in the rates, the
cost of taking his produce to its mar
ket. Surely farmer does not feel it
RI fiat the railroad employees who
are the only class OF employees who
have refused to take any reduction in
wages since the war, should be upheld
in their exhorbitant and unJlstified
demand for excessive wages while the
farmer must exc out bare living by
toiling with his hands day and night.
LaFollette can not be supported by
any free thinking patriotic American,
particularly if he terms himself Pro-
gressive. One who is Progressive be-
Geves in building up and not in tearing
down. He believes in constructive
change in the things which may be
wrong in our government and not in
destructive change. He does not be-
lieve in the cry of the Socialist and
the I. w. w. 'This is wrong. Hence
all is wrong. Let us tear it down, let
us burn tn crops, blow up the railroads,

He can not be supported by an ex-
service man, by the friend Of an ex-
service man, the wives. brothers, sis
tiers, fathers, mothers and daughters
of ex-service men for he stands dia-
metrically opposed to all of the prin-
ciples fro which the ex-service men
gave their time, money and blood.
Finally, he does not even expect to
be elected. At the very most, his only
hope is to defeat the will of the ma
jority, defeat the election of the man
who may be the choice of the majority
BY taking from him sufficient num-
Der ct votes to throw the election in
to deadlock and then exercise what
he considers his own control and pow
err in having President appointed
and not elected. 1t never was the in
tent Of the American people that any
election should be SO conducted. If he
truly believed that he could be elected
and if we could forget his past, il we
could forget the things that he has
done, if we could forget the friends
who are gathering around him and
if we could subscribe to the principle
Of Socialism, Communism and l. w.
W.isn, then he might be justified in
waging campaign for President.
