Potosi Mourns For LaFollette

ator Robt. NJ LaFollette was received
here little more than an hour follow
ing his passing Thursday afternoon.
1t cast a gloom of sorrow among his
many friends in Potosi as we'll as the
many others of opposing political be-
liefs. The whole country mournS the
death of Wisconsin's noblest man.
During his political career Bob de-
liVered several addresses in Potosi,
where the majority of the people had
a warm place in their hearts for him.
But we can't vote for Battling Bob any
more. A probable suggestion is that
Wisconsin will, and it should be done,
send Mrs. LaFollette to take the place
of her husband in the U. S. Senate.
The state that he honored in his life
will be glad to do any honor it can in
the passing of our great senator.
