Breakdown FOllO1Us
Fiery Campaign of
Independent Leader
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June
Ex-senator Robert M. La Fol-
lett, for many years a stormy
petrol of American politics, died
here today.
Death resulted at 1:21 p. m.
from heart failure induced by a
general breakdown and an attack
Of bronchial asthma.
The Wisconsin senator and late inde-
pendent presidential candidate began
failing IN health even before the 1924
campaign. Several weeks ago he CON
tracted severe cold which developed
into asthma. HIS heart, which had been
unable to stand the strain, gave way
during the night and he sank rapidly
after daylight today.
Although they realized the serious
ness of Senator La Follette's condition,
members Of his family had hoped until
today that he would recover. Last
I light his physicians said he was rest
ing, but nevertheless he took a quick
and decided turn for the worse in the
night hours and hope was aband doned
Senator La Toilette long was a victim
Of agina pectoris, heart ailment, and
this, with his asthmatic attack, caused
him to suffer greatly from shortness
OF breath. Violent coughing spells ac-
companied his illness.
Almost to the last, however, he in
sisted on cheerful reports being given
out to his illness and it was not until
yesterday that it was admitted that
his condition was serious.
Robert Marion La Toilette, considered
oe Of the most powerful orators Of his
ana political controversy throughout
the nation and in his home state for
Wisconsin for more than quarter of a
century.
Fighting Bob," the name by which
he was known to political friends and
enemies alike, was title well earned
almost from the moment he stepped
into the political arena when scarcely
more than boy. Facing battles such
as few, if any, Of his political contem-
poraries were compelled to fight, he
served three terms as a member Of the
house of representatives and three as
governor of Wisconsin, was four times
elected to the United States senate, anc
finally, became an independent candi-
date for president in 1924.
Perhaps few American public men
ever drew .such bitter criticism as was
heaped upon Senator La Toilette during
ana lmme iiately after the World War
and certainly none could have beer
more staunchly defended by his friends
Thrice Senator LaEollette was placed
in domination for the presidency in
republican cOnventions-in 1908, in 1915
when he charged Theodore Roosevelt
with promising to support him and
then becoming the progressive cand
date himself, and again in 1916. |

support of small but intrepid bloc 0
delegates, as he did in the 1920 and 1872
republican conventions when he re

actor folk incidentally, who didn't
succeed in combing professional
success with domestic bliss--had
tlapper's fling at marriage. 1t was
ABOUT four years ago that Constance
con a dare" eloped to the same
Greenwich marrying justice and was
wed to young Chester H. Moorehead
of Chicago, student at the Univers-
ity of Virginia. She was just Il
then, and Moorehead was Is. The
families had the marriage annulled,
and Constance danced out to Holly
wood and made name for herself
in the pictures.
Meantime Plant was having his
own fling. He received a clear 81
100000 by bequest from his foster
father, the late Henry B, Plant, fl
nancier of Cuban and Florida rail
road and hotel properties. And he
is heir to an estimated S30,000,000
from his mother, now the wife of Col
William Hayward, well-known attor-
ney.
Plant first attracted public notice
as a Yale student in 1920 when the
beautiful Helene Jesmer, a chorus
girl, was injured and disfigured in
an automobile accident while riding
with plant. She brought suit for
100000 damages, and the case was
settled out of court for a reported
$4,000.
Then the gilded youth was atten-
tive to Marion Stokes, chum of
Constance Benefits, and to the
wealthy Anne Whelan. Finally he
became engaged to Judith Smith, of
exclusive social connections. That
engagement was broken last summer
however, and now he and Con
stance are married.

every day as developer OF Florida
real estate. He is settling down as
business man, and his career is just
seriously opening up. 1t is that ca

blending in with the walls. Con-

A long mirror framed in antique
