SENATOR LA FOLLETTE'S
tcClIEc

Fame as party organizer Is
sought by Senator La Toilette 1t APP
pears for otherwise his energy ex-
pended seeking the presidency would
be wasted. 1t has recently been
pointed out in press comment that
his supreme issue dates back to 1908
when It was stated in almost tho
same language by Mr.. Bryan. the
Democratic candidate for president,
and thus the issue cannot be char
ncterized as very progressive" In the
commonly accepted meaning Of the
word
In an article contributed recently
10 the New York Times. the senator
restated his chief issue. the following
paragraphs containing the gist Of the
statement:
"The Investigations and disclosures
have opened the eyes OF the Amer
lean people 10 the one supreme issue
tho control OF the government by
private monopoly.
THE specific proposals of the Pro-
Eressives are constructive measures
advanced to meet the supreme issue
of the 1924 CamTaign--to break the
power OF private monopoly and re-
store government to the people
! Regarding this. the Springfield Re-
publican makes the following edi-
torial comment:

breaking down the trusts. by dtssolu-

ont was that OF President TAR,

1nitfated the antitrust suit against

Rut President Taft was called a son

administrations notably have attack
ed the trusts with dissolution suits.

gasoline combine in the oil industry
and the sisai trust. The Wilson ad-
ministration was pr9lifc in legal at

naent to be friendly with big business.
in order to speed UP the production
OF munitions and shipping, II II
made terms with organized labor. II
also made terras. with organized
capital, but that was the result of
shc exigencies of foreign war. That
period is ended and the government
is again after the trusts with its big
stick"
Senator Pepper In recent state
ment declares that La Fol,ette's
present ambition 10 not to be presi-
dent. but rather 20 seek chapter In
history as an organizer OF a political
party of divergent interests under a
high sour ding name with the hope
that thus a new movement may be

phrase, diversity masouerading as

have Identical close interests. The
fact is they have not. II requires all
of La Follette's genius to make II

which he cannot delegate, because
nobody but he has developed the ca
pacity to make both the farmer and
the industrialist forget all the facts

ATTITUDES IN ACCORD

The attitude of the Coolidge admin
,stratlon appears to meet the approval
OF no less an authority than the pre-
mier Of Great Britain, ]. Ramsay
Macdonald Here Is what he has to
.ay respecting the attitude OF the
Unite states at the Allied Confer
ence in London:
"At the Conference, am very glad
10 say we have America Watching
helping. and cooperating. The tune
must come when the great Republic
NJ the West will have 10 help ii some
way or other to solve European prop
lens. America will not come in. 1t
yill never do that. | do not want 1t
"a do that. II is too wise to do 1t, but
there ts no great nation on the face
of the earth. no nation like America,
mighty in the quality Of its people,
powerful in its wealth and riches,
that can isolate itself from the
others. There is n moral obligation
to take an interest. and no people,
once they feel that they have a moral
obligation, will bear II more manfully
and Loyalty than our kindred people
OF tho United States OF America
The premier considers us TOO
wise" TO mess around among the
European problems. he does not want
us TO do It. He does hope for our
help. perhaps because he knows its
value from what we already have
given There is every reason to be
confident that such an attitude as he
represents VIII come to accord with
4hnt OF our own administration. Here
Is much greater assurance OF genuine
helpfulness than may be found in
anything offered by the Democratic
platform. Nor is 1t supposabie that
anything which the candidate, Mr..
Davis, may suggest would be any i'm
