They say Bob baFollette mas never
done anything worth while. Senator
Mckinley virtually said that few
days age .Ilhana.@ lesa- cassnnsa.
said the same thing week ago I'm
Hopeston, and has said it in a good
many other places.
Here is one thing Bob LaFollette
did and it is characteristic of many
other things he has done of a similar
nature.
During the first ten years of his
political career he attacked the policy
of such men as John ID. Rockefeller,
who spent years of their lives freezing
out small competitors.
The result Of his speech-making
along this line has been that the
Rockefeller policy has been virtually
discontinued and in its place is a sub
sti.Lte which makes it possible for
business small or great ITO live AID
le. live"
# Bob" has done nothing else this
single policy covering a period If
fully ten years should commend him
20 the American voter, and partlcu-
ialiy to every honest citizen who has
a small business and does not want -
see it cast upon the rocks by conf
petitor whose resources are inhausti-
bic.
More to Bob LaFolette than to any
other member Of the national con-
gress is due the credit for making
American business comparatively safe
for the investor of small capital.
For a quarter of a century America
has been gradually coming to Bah
LaFollette's ideas of running a great
republican government.
Eventually it will come to his idea
of public ownership and control Of
railroads. 1t will do it Of necessity
if not willingly.
Agitation among farmers for lower
freight rates will bring US to the goal
if nothing else will. When farmers
and manufacturers can no longer pay
freight rates high enough to insure
the investor in railway stock a salts
factory profit, and the government Is
forced thereby to lower the rates, the
railroad magnates will get on their
knees and pray congress to take over
the roads at the highest possible
price. If the government waits long
enough it will get the railroads for
nothing.
When a utility becomes a public
burden on the buyer and shipper it is
time to reorganize on new and more
equitable scale.
When in Detroit Bob LaFollette
said: II expect to be elected presi-
dent on November d." six thousand
people rose to their feet and shouted
for five minutes.
One thing is certain, the Progress
sive cause is the occasion for the
most enthusiastic demonstration in
politics since Roosevelt and the Bull
Moose.
Again and again LaFollette has de-
clared that this government will never
be overthrow by violence, but he
declares with equal vehemence that it
is in danger of "succumbinR to cor
ruption and graft that is gnawing at
its vitals."

Robert M. LaFoIIette For President

Democrat can blame a working man
for supporting the Progressive ticket
Union workmen have fought fuf
nearly half century to obtain a fair
measure of the right that Is due
them, and at every step they have
been assailed by the menace of a
party joined irrevocably to capitalists
.ideals ef government, who aae N'il,

smallest possible wage, live in pevel
.ty ignorance and vice and surrender
when capital lifts its little finger,
When Labor does not respond 10 re

national guard TO enforce its will and
resorts TO corruption of the courts 10

Champaign county Republicans are
to be complmented on their nerve, f
not their courage and common sense.
Ii must have been a bitter dose for
the Essington supporters TO give
Governor Len Small the glad hand
when he appeared in Utbana last
week.
The governor was merciful, how
ever, and returned to Springfield be
fore the big gun was fired by Uncle
Joe Cannon and William b. Mckinley.
Ii woud have been "A pretty tough
proposition for the rank and file n
Champaign and Urbana Republicans
to sit on the same platform with the
governor after they had pulled win
all their might to defeat him in the
primaries.
William Hale Thompson, Dr. John
Dill Robertson and Mrs. Elizabeth
Buehalter have withdrawn as Repub-
lean candidates for esidential cleo
tors.
The logical conclusion is that they
are supporters of LaFollette and
Wheeler and are conscientious enough
to withdraw rather than be elected
TO perform a service that to them Is
evidently Objectionable, even from a
Republican party standpoint.
The Republican leaders, however,
hold to another view. They believe
that the three candidates for cleo
tors withdrew because they are not
qualified by law to hold such posi-
tions.
LaFollette has drawn some promin-
ent Chicago men and women to his
standard recently. Jane Addams,
Clarence Darrow, and Prof. Charles
+. Merriman are among the recruits.
They are among the states foremost
leaders. There are others coming.
II anyone doubts the strength Of
LaFollette and Wheeler the press re-
norts of his entrance into Chicago last
Saturda" should dispel all doubt.
Four thousand people packed the
entrance to Twelfth street when the
senator arrived and the crowd in
stead Of diminishing continued to
grow TO mammoth proportions.
Even the Chicago Daily News, well
known for its endorsement OF the
Republican candidate devoted a front
cage headline to the story. Here ~
quotation; ...--
''The crowd, instead of diminishing
grew during the wait-At exactly y
o'clock the car door opened and La
Toilette strobe forth. Immediately
the crowd was in a frenzy. A roar
that echoed along Michigan boule-
ward went forth. Cries for LaFol-
lette brought dynamic responses"
"How would you like to be classed
with the crowd that attends the La
Toilette meetings" asks Twin CITY
editor. Tell him that Jane AddAms
was in the crowd, and Clarence Oar
row and a few others.

when I asked concerning a rumor
about early days of Nah Jongg in
Indianapolis.
Rumor has it that local "coppers'
used to raid Chinese laundries when
a Nah Jongg game was in progress.
The players were arrested on charges
of gambling as a matter Of principle.
The only difficulty was that the po
lice couldn't tell the judge what the
prisoners were playing.
