, 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

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. ? A blow in
the right eye by the end of a fishing
cane is the primary cause of the
deatTi of Fred McGill, a fifteen year
old colored boy, over whose remains
