LAFOLLETTE IN CONGRESS

ing written by Richard Barry, in the
Hearsts International for Aug. 1922:
When early in the present Congress,
some insurgents declared they would
depose Penrose, from his Finance
Committee Craftsmanship, LaFollette
refused to join them. Penrose sought
out his colleague from Wisconsin and
expressed appreciation" Penrose, who
is now dead, was one of the old guard
reactionary senators from Pennsylva-
MIA. Mr.. Carter Field writing in the
1924, said, apropos of LaFollette's
New York Tribune of January 18th,
Friendship with Penrose: ''It was Bob
and 'Boies' when they met, and that
was not all. When LaFollette came
up for reelection it was Penrose who
hurried up to the hated Wall street
and brought back money to help re-
elect Bob every time"
Finally we call upon the Search
light on Congress, an organ friendly
to LaFollette, to dispel any illusions
that may have been spread about the
Iradicalism of the Wisconsin senator
among workingmen and poor farmers
We quote from its issue of March
31st, 1924:
There may be some who look with
apprehension upon this strangely al
tered situation because of their fear
that LaFollette may prove ultra rad
zeal. Let no one lose any sleep on
that score. LaFollette is not ultra
radical. He is not even radical. On
the contrary, he is decidedly conserv-
alive.
Ellis record proves that. When
given authority, he slows up"

To the DAILY WORKER: Friend
lest greetings and wishes for many
triumphs in the great struggle begun
in your daily in favor of libertarian
progress.
We who have been fighting for five
years now in behalf of the sublime
socialist ideas, are deeply pleased to
learn that there is born in that land
of monstrous capitalistic octipi, an
intrepid standard bearer of freedom.
We assure you that in this land of
priests and lackeys, we are fighting
courageously and resolutely for the
pure socialist principles which have
to. lead us to the swelling army of
those of Communist doctrine, to which
all humanity must go if it does not
wish to become the slave of capitalism
and all it's ridiculous allies.
In. this country we have not even
one district daily, hardly managing to
do more than spread leaflets for prop
uganda. For this reason we wish to
establish correspondence with your
daily, with the real champion of the
proletariat.
Also we will inform you that in this
DEPARTMENT. del Vale del Cauca, we
have obtained victories of great sig
nificance for the cause OF the prole-
tariat, and we reckon with q nucleus
of more than 10000 adherents to the
socialist banner.
We trust that you will send us
some samples of your daily which we
desire to know better in order to
take some subscriptions.
l remain your faithful friend and
comrade,

before the last session of Congress
LaFollette's progressives in the
House, led in this debate by the Wis
consin Congressman Frear, joined
forces with the reactionary Republic
can clique to vote for the multi-mil-
lionaife Longworth's bill. In doing so.
the progressives did not get thing
from the administration and sacrificed
even the Insignificant demands they
themselves had made towards shifting
the burden of taxation to the richest

House of Representatives. These pro-

tionaries by agreeing to postpone

Progressivism Disappearing
Most of the legislation enacted in
Wisconsin is no longer considered rad
ical AS we have seen, twenty-one
of the thirty-one planks that LaFol-
lette has presented to the Republican
convention, prior to the last one, are
now law. Competent political observ-
ers like William Hard, have declared
that LaFollette is growing less rad
zeal with time.
In this light it is interesting as well

that men make movements, then my
conclusion above is even stronger.
But great movements are the product
of laws of energy and matter, only

hooves the organ of expression to be
clean-above everything. If he's
clean he'll be staunch, and staunch

"And, alas! OF how many it can
be said that they remain staunch?

all of whom have played, or are play

a good thing out of it for themselves,

at intervals when the question comes
up as to what the market is.
The average farmer does not sell
on high market and buy on a low
market, so to speak. But he sells
when he can and buys when he can,
and he always accepts the market
that he is compelled to.
l think that semi-weekly market
report or even weekly market re-
port would serve that purpose we'll
Many of the farmer readers are too
far away to rely upon the Chicago
market alone for this information.
The market reports as written con-
ceal much more than they reveal. II
they were written from the workers
point of view, they should be as in
teresting and educational for the city
worker as for the farmer and would
show how they are both gouged when
the farmer sells and when the con-
sumner buys. But such report would
need to be written by a special writer
and cost considerable. Will the read
ers give the price?
