LA TOILETTE, JR.,
CHOSEN SENATOR
Defeats DithmGr by 1885,
900 Votes; Carries All
Counties But One.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Robert M. La Fol-
lette, Jr., has been chosen United
States senator from Wisconsin to Oc-
cupy the seat left vacant by the death
of his father. His opponents in the
special election were buried under an
avalanche of votes.
Young La Toilette piled up a plur-
ality Of approximately $4,000 votes
over Edward f. Dithmar, Baraboo, his
nearest opponent, and had majority
of 111,000 over all candidates when
1880 Of the 1852 precincts in the state
had reported.
Returns from all but 342 precincts

ing majority for young La Toilette
with almost monotonOus regularity.
From the northern, from the western,
and from the eastern parts Of the state
1T was the same story, and even in
the First congressional district, regular
republican territory, La Toilette made
unexpected inroads.

ing only one of the seventy-one cOun-
ties in Wisconsin. Rock county was in
the Dithmar column.
After the first few precincts had re-
ported, the result of the election was
never in doubt, and the only uncer-
tainty was as to La Follette's plurality
over Dithmar
The other candidates, William
George Bruce, democrat; John NJ.
Work, socialist; and George Bauman,
socialist-labor, were so far in the rear
that their vote was almost negligible.
La Follette's vote showed a material
increase over his primary total, while
Dithmar's total also was greater than
THAI cast for Roy p. Wilcox. of Eau
Claire Coolidge-Dawes candidate in
the primary, although La Follette's
plurality over Dithmar, however, was
larger than his plurality in the pri,
mary over Wilcox.
Youngest Senator Ever Elected
Robert NJ La Toilette, Jr, is the
youngest man ever elected to the Unit
eel States senate.
The federal constitution requires
that a senator be at least 80 to be
eligible for a seat in the senate, and
the new Wisconsin senator is barely
eligible, as he was born in Madison
on Feb, g. 1895.
Young La Toilette, who is unmar-
ried, obtained his early education in
Madison public schools and his high
school instruction in the national
capital where the La Toilette family
spent much of It's residence during
the late senator's last years In office.
The new senator was graduated
from Western High school in Washing
ton. d. c., in June Of 1913 and enrolled
at the University of Wisconsin, his
fathers alma mater, in September of
that year.
When illness compelled him to with
draw from the university In 1917. he
became associated with his father in
Washington and served as confidential
secretary.
Was Spokesman For Father
In the last few years he acted more
and more often as his fathers spokes-
man and was intrusted with higher
duties in progressive republican cir
Giles.
In 1922 he managed the progressive
campaign in Wisconsin and was elect
ed chairman of the republican state
central committee, a position to which
he was renamed last year
The Junior La Toilette was his IA
theirs representative at the national re-
publican conferences of 1920 and 1924

a duty to see that she was in only the most respectable company.
 The message dispatched, Putnam leaned back in his chair, glowing like a jack-o' lantern, and informed Major Burr that he was to ride to Elizabeth port forthwith and bring Miss Mar garet Moncrieffe to headquarters Burr demurred. Suppose the lady didn't want to come? Putnam hand ed him Major Moncrieffe's letter to which he added a note of his own and instructed his aide to present these to the child as his credentials. Burr continued to object.
 From the settlement at Paulus Hceck to Elizabethport, lay waste land, swamp and forest, that swarm ed with outlaws preying uron both armies alike. Cowboys" or Skin ners," they were called and Burr, lik- ing his job but little, pointed out that 1t would be madness to venture over the road, especially burdened with the care of a woman, without an es- cort. Grudgingly. Putnam gave him permission to take six troopers with him.
 Eseort of Six
 
 Among the six chosen by Burr was Corporal Thomas Hickey A bateau took the party and their horses across to Paulus Hoeck Thence, they trot- ted through mud and dust to Eliza bethport. The reeds in the marshes came up to the shoulders of the riders. The woods they passed through were virgin. They saw no one. Burr, no doubt, spent the major portion of the journey in cursing superior who would detail his aide for such a fools errand. The thought of woman in distress never stirred the soul of Aaron Burr to pity.
 Inquiry at Elizabethport revealed that the girl he sought was lodged at the home of Mrs. Adams. She was well known to Burr for her husband had once been employed by his uncle. She was an ardent patriot and her son, Seth, was even then serving with Alexander MacDougal's regiment in New York and had accompanied Burr in the disastrous Canadian campaign of the previous winter.
 Hence, Mrs. Adams reception of Burr was enthusiastic and her daugh- NEAs dANN was tNttt fiARIf itf her greeting. Miss Moncrieffe was there, the older woman assured him. She was a strange wistful slip of a thing, little more than a child, though she could handle the great black horse she had ridden up to the Adams home, like a trooper. She had told the fam fly that she had slipped away from Staten Island without her fathers permission and had lost her way on the mainland. She begged that they lodge her until he should send for her That had been a week before. At the moment. she was out in the barn where she spent much of her time with her horse.
 Burr strode toward the barn and was followed by Patsy who checked him when they had turned the corner of the house and whispered to him rapidly. This girl, she said. wasn't as innocent as she pretended to be. Patsy had heard it said that Margaret Monerieffe had been ferried over from Staten island on a barge man. ned by British soldiers.
