Robin Zemp's Drug Store Phone 30 , Electric Fans , SENATOR LA FOLLETTE DEAD Had Been Strong Figure In National Politics For Many Yearn Washington, 1>. C? June* 18. Death brought to an end today the daring and stormy political career of Rob ert M. LaFollelte, Peacefully, the Wisconsin senator, last year an Independent candidate for president, passed away at his home here, a victim of heart .attacks, from which he had been a sufferer for a decade, bronchitis and bronchial asthma. To the last Mr. La Follctte sought to ward off death's thrust, as he had done <?n several occasions in recent yearn, but when 'he realized that the fight was a losing one, he called hi* son, Robert, t<> his bedside, and in an -almost inaudible voice gave this last message to the public. "1 am at peace with all the world, but there i- a hit of work I could still do. I don't know how the people will feel towaid me, but I shall take to the grave my. love for them which has sustained me through life." Robert Marion I .a Follette, consid ered une of the most powerful orators i of his time in the United States Sen ate, was a storm center of personal and political controversy throughout the nation and in his home state of Wisconsin for more than a quarter iif a century, "Fighting Hob", the %naine by whi? h he was known to political i friends and enemies alike, was a title j well earned almost from the moment 1 he Stepped into the political arena j when scarcely more tlv^n a boy. FaC ! nig battles such as few if any of his* [political contemporaries were com j polled to fight, hi: eventually became !a representative in Congress, then ' governor of Wisconsin and finally | United States Senator. He served three terms in the house, three as governor of Wisconsin and was four Mimes elected to the Senate. Perhaps few. American public men ever drew such' bitter criticism as was "heaped upon Senator l.a Fol - He rtx* ? drrrfng ? and i m medf atei y n f te r the World War, and certainly none could have been more staunchly de fended by his friends. His .speeches and public policies had been the. tar get for widespread denunciation pre vious lo 11H7, while the great con flict was raging in F.urope, but the ?ri-,is came when he voted against America entering the struggle when the l.usitania outrage and other vio lations of our neutrality were still burning in the public mind. He was hung in effigy and .even threatened with expulsion proceedings in the Senate, but in the lS'-2 elections he was sent back to his place in Wash ington by a tremendous majority. Thrice. Senator. La Follette was a candidate for the presidency in Re publican conventions ? once in PJ08, ih 1M2 and m IP'JI. During the 1912 campaign he charged Theodore Roose velt with promising to support him and then becoming the Progressive candidate himself. Horn on a farm near Madison, June 1 I, 1X55, he was a contempor ary of Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, lioosevelt, Tat't, Wilson and Harding, a* well a- "Czar" Uced, James (i. Is a Prescription for < Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever It Kills the (lerms Blaine and Mark Hanna. In stature he was a figure to at tract attention, tils build was short, heavy and exceptionally strong, with a broad chest, a wide girth and pow erful arms. He wore a high, heavy pompadour above deep-set, sharp blue-brown eyes with overhanging brows, and had a broad, high fore head, prominent aquiline nose and mobile mouth. ' In public address, Senator La Fol iette's delivery was dynamic and dra matic always, with violent gestures 'and penetrating voice, When he warmed to an oratorical effort, he had a habit of tossing back his pom padour with a quick, sharp jerk of -the head and running his fingers through his thick locks. His speeches often lasted for hours, especially in his filibusters in the Senate. He was appointed by Speaker Reed to a place on the way>wand \neans committee, and worked \^th 'William I McKinley, then a member of the same committee, in framing the McKinley .tariff law. His first speech in the House was against "pork barrel" river and harbor appropriations, and, by blocking or amending bills spon sored by the leaders, he early classi fied himself as an "insurgent." K.lected governor of Wisconsin in 1001 on a reform platform, he launch ed a fight against railroad influence in state polities, and also led the movement for the direct primary law, adopted by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1004, 1 1 ?? was elected to the Sen ate the same year, and resigned from the governorship. As a presidential candidate, Senator La Follette received 25 votes in the 1008 Republican convention and 11 in the 1012 assemblage. He, made an < active campaign for progressive sup port beginning in December, 1011, but while ypcaking- in Philadelphia the following February, he collapsed af ter a long address and many of his supporters turned to Roosevelt. Hi* continued his campaign, but it Was hopeless enterprise. DuriAg his early service in the Sen ah-, he won 'prominence by repeated foravs~a gainst "special privilege" and "special interests" in tariff and other legislation. He broke with President Taft in 11)11 anil opposyd the ad ministration's Canadian reciprocity treaty, lie was 'an early advocate t?f woman suffrage, labor legislation and taxation of the wealthy classes. Later he advocated recall of judges and judicial decisions, and come out in favor of nationalizing the rail ways. Included in the long list of meas ures against which he foujfht stub bornly were the Aldrich- Vreeland currency acJU the Commerce Court act, and the Payne- Aldrich tariff measure. He made a speech lasting four days advocating t>he unseating of Senator Lorimei; of Illinois, and was prominent in the Mallinger-Pin ? chot conservation fight as a critic of President Taft and a supporter of Mr. Pincbut . Opposing American intervention in the \yorld War, Senator La Follette urged a peace conference of neutrals. He took a leading part in the spec tacular filibuster against the armed ship hill, asked for by President Wil son, and encompassed its defeat early in lit 17. i 1 ? ' was among the famous "1- wilful men" named by President Wilson as ob-t ructionists. After vonng against the American war decla ra' on, Senator I. a Follette also opposed the selective draft act, but >uppoi ted the enormous war ap niopi iat ioji ? and other l> i 1 1 > . He sponsored many "free >pecch" pro pnsiis fought ratification of the 1 re at \ f Versailles, and in many loiiu v p i e < lies after the war urged .imru-ty for those convicted under t /II e>|)i<<nage act. Uuring l'.'lT the Senate received a nia.-.v of pe titions demanding Senator La Koiiette's expulsion. principally because ?>i a speech at St. Paul to n Nop,- Partisan league convention. The M :nn?->ut a public >afety lommission wi- urn. nt '.host demanding his un ?< i*:ng, ur.d the Wisconsin Legis . t u re passed resolutions of censure. I- w i- during this jiolitica! period *hat Mr. La Follette was hung in eff:u\ ar-d denounced by resolutions of civic and other organizations throughout the country. An investi gation of the Sr. Paul speech, based oti the war and America's part in it, finally was made by the Senate privi leges and elections committee. Sena tor La Follette submitted copies of the speech and other evidence, ? and charged that- he had been misquoted, a charge admitted by some of the re porters, and the Senate inquiry was dropped in February, 1918. Always a champion of labor, the La Follette seamen's law, granting privileges to American seamen and requiring measures for their health, romfort and protection, probably is the most important measure bpuring his name. Senator La Follette had many im portant committee assignment* in the Senate. For year* he was a vet eran member of the finance and _rr. -1- . r imm chairman of the manufactures com mittee. He was prominent in all tariff and tax legislation, fighting the Kordney-McCumber measure of the Harding administration and the internal tax revision law. The domestic and private life of Senator La Follette might be termed ideal. At the age of 26 he married Miss Belle Cas of Baraboo, Wis., and from that moment she became his political as well as his personal partner. She took anW active part in all his campaigns, served as his secretary while he was in the House ?nd aided him in preparing his speeches. They had four children: Philip, now a partner in the sen ator's law firm at Madison ? Fola, the wife of George Middleton, New York playwright; Mrs. Mary Sueher and Robert La Follette, Jr. For almost a year when the youngest hoy was ill during the war, Senator La Follette was his nurse, carrying him in his arms for hours and finally winning a desperate fight against death. The senator's friends hik! support ers in his home state were legion, while in the Senate he numbered among his personal friends some of ?those he pyosX harshly attaeked on the stump. Among these .was the ?late Senator Penrose of Pennsyl vania, who was a constant eompan *ion of his Wisconsin critic' in the Senate for a long time preceding his death. v ^ Senator La Koilet.te's last fight for ? he. presidency was made la^t, year with Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, as a Tunning mate. The La Follette-Wheeler ticket' poUed nearly half as many votes as the, Democratic ticket, headed by Davis and Bryan. ,!al> With Fishing Pole Fatal Orangeburg, June 12. ?
