his espousal in later years of such
proposals as the subordination OF
the supreme court and the govern
ment ownership of rails. The sena-
tors gravest lapse of judgment lay
perhaps in his seeming conviction
that the country last year was
ready to indorse his third party
raid on the presidency.
Senator La Follette's relations
with Cleveland were many and
varied. This was the only big city
outside of Wisconsin which he car
ried last fall. Here he was nomi-
mated for president. Here much of
the financing of his campaign CEN
tered. Here died last week his
personal friend. supporter and ad-
wiser, Warren S, Stone,
In Wisconsin the death of this
fighting. senator is likely to bring
political confusion. La Toilette had
been so powerful a factor for so
many years that his sudden taking
off will leave his party in that state
without pilot. A strong pair of
shoulders will be required to carry
his mantle.-Cleyeland Plain Deal

illustrated how even wise man in
politics may misjudge popular opin-
ion. The senator habitualIy made
the mistake of assuming that Amer
lea as whole would react precisely
as he knew Wisconsin always react
ed to any given set of circumstances
This favorite son of loyal COM
monwealth could never quite under
stand why the national Republican
party refused to take h1m TO lts
bosom. And in seeking the eXplana-
ton this strange, Disappointing fact,
Ia Toilette came to insist that the
marty had sold out to the money IN
terests and was no longer true to
the vision of Lincoln; that such
men as Mr.. Coolidge and other con-
temporary leaders had leagued
themselves against the rights OF the
ma aiority. To which the majority IN
avitably responded by refusing TO
the senator the support he asked.
In spite of this popular GOODNESS,
however. Mr.. La Toilette managed
to make himself through many years
a powerful influence in the policies
of his time. He achieved this dis
tinction by being always ready TOT
fight. by maintaining the fiction
of a party regularity which his
whole recent career belled, by ac-
knowledging no debt to his party
and by accomplishing the seeming
i,v imnossihle task of keeping his
own state responsive to his every
whim. His followers in congress,
group of irregulars not aVerse 10
Guerrilla methods when they De
lieved principle at stake, played
their game with the cleyerness o.
seasoned veterans.
Thus through more than forty
years of active political life MIR. La
20 lette had been kird of tonic
for Americans weary Of the inces-
SAINT twaddle Of professional stand
pats-a medicine at times bitter to
the taste but curative; ridlculed for
its panacean pretensions, ottener re-
jected than taken, but yet a useful
adjunct to the household political.
The senator was a born evangelist
like Bryan, but, unlike Bryan, had a
saving sense of the practical. He
knew when to rebel and when to
keep the peace, though rebellion re-
mained his vocation. He never lost |
sight of the fact that he could &C
complish more as a congressman |
han as mere jobless reformer.
1t may be questioned whether any |
0ther man in public life could sur
1--WE the experiences to which La
Toilette was subjected because of
lis opposition to Americas partici-
patton in the late war. Censured
wen by the legislature Of his own
tate, under charges and threaten
ID with expulsion from the senate,
denounced by such leaders as Will
on and Roosevelt, he rode the
torn and was later reelected to
lis seat by the phenomenal plural
ty of more than 100000. This
ghting residence, this absolute re-
usal to compromise or to quit gave
he senator a character not likely
oon to be duplicated in American
ublic life.
Many of the things for which La
gillette fought in his earlier years
ave become commonly accepted
octrine; many of them are now
aw. America owes him much for
his pioneer work in the field OF po-
tical progressivism. This and 9TH
r services are to be remembered as
alancing, to some degree at least,

thousands of Americans who
were unable to subscribe to many of

OF Robert M. La Toilette during his

that in the senator's death the ma

eulogist who described the senator
as "shrewd, coura geous, resource
fQl eloquent, tireless and honest"
did not stretch the truth in his null
tiplication of adjectives.
Leaving his own Wisconsin out of
