aMr. Langley arrived at his home

Grateful to Friends.
However, in these hours, when all
hearts are filed with Christmas
spirit, l cannot resist the opportunity
of expressing my deep gratitude to
my legion of friends for their un-
1inching loyalty in those dark hours

He became extremely-and even
excessively-a personal politician
with his own personal machine and
with nothing else. That has been
MS strength; and that has been also
the limitation of his strength.
He has never been particularly
good at making alliances. In order
to make alliances one has to make
compromises. La Toilette hates to
make compromises.
He Is one of the few Senators
whose votes can be virtually always
predicted. BY making a chart of La

Citadel Of Consistency.
He is the Senate's citadel Of con.
sistency. From the furnace through
which he was put in Wisconsin he
emerged not only embittered but
hardened. No hammer can break
him, and no feather buster can
tickle him. He has laid down his
individual course and he follows
that course, irrespective of others
and irrespective Of possible alliances
with others.
1t has been thought, and said,
that the center Of his power Law

is not true. It failed to be true
precisely because La Toilette will
not make compromises.
La Toilette would not compromise
with the so-called reactionaries who
controlled the Republican party IN
milwaukee. He would not com
promise with the Socialists who con.
trolled the radical vote in Mil
waukee. He therefore fought Mil
waukee, and Milwaukee fought him.

perfectly natural in him, that he
just recently refused to enter into
any compromise or even into any
association with the Communists
scheduled to attend the third-party
convention meeting in st. Paul this
week.
If La Toilette runs for President
this fall he will run with his own
personal machine about him and
with his own absolutely personal
ideas as his platform.
In his youth he was a marvellous
politician OF acid and Of iron who
went his own way Irrespective of
cooperation.
He will not compromise with the
forces Of health. He will not COM
promise with the forces of revolu-
ton. Ever since his fight with the
old.time bosses Of Wisconsin he has
insisted on being his own little

epitaph might be:

It remains to consider the tunes,
