16 the Commoner yOLXJMB 5, NUMBER IB LAFOLLETTE IN THE SENATE Tho selection of Governor Robert M. LaFollotto of Wisconsin for United 'States senator, to succeed Quartos, concerns not Wisconsin alono, but tho wholo country; and greatly strength , ons tho causo of roform in congress. LaFollotto has only just boon re 's elected governor of Wisconsin, after one of the hottest campaigns ever known in this country, in which the republican party was Dadly split and 'disorganized. His victory was a bril liant ono, and has inado him tho polit ical dictator of Wisconsin, for opposed f liltvi inni'n oil lir niiiili1lnnn lmwlnru ,V 411111 HWV ftil II1U lUUIllblUk .viisu of. the state, including tho entire Wis consin delegation, both in tho senate land tho house, lod by Senator Spoon ;or, a man of groat national reputation and power. Governor LaFollotto pro ; vailed over ono of tho strongest politi cal combinations over organized, and .wholly through tho popular support ho received from democrats as well as re publicans, for ho was first of all a re former, a strong advocato and support er of democracy, that is, of tho will ,pf tho people as against tho rule of the corporations and monopolies. This roform movement, as wo have shown, is much stronger among tho republi cans of the west than is popularly Supposed, and is now in control of tho party organization of Wisconsin, Illi nois and sovoral other states. When LaFollotto became a candi date for re-election as governor he promised that he would fill tho posi tion to which ho was elected by tho people and that he would not abandon Wisconsin for tho United States sen ate. It is not surprising, however, that lie should have broken this prom ise, for conditions have changed so in Wisconsin of late as to force him into tho senate perhaps it did not require much forcing to induce him to reconsider his intentions, for tho senato just now offers him a far bet tor field to carry out his policy In re gard to control of railroads and other corporations than tho governorship of Wiscnsin. Governor LaFolletto's worst foes were the senators and representatives from Wisconsin, who fought a out rance, and would give no mercy. They read him out of the national republi can convention and they would have read him out of tho party could they have done so. It is true that when CLUB LIST.

To do so would have been to strengthen tho railroad interests, for the fight for control of these interests has been transferred from the Wisconsin legis lature' to congress by the president's demand for legislation on this sub ject and extension of the interstate commerce law. When, therefore, it became a question of sending Quarles back or going in his stead, Governor LaFollette determined' to go himself. As a matter of fact, he has accom plished nearly all the work he set out 10 uo in Wisconsin, anu can now turn his attention to the federal side of the problem, which is looming up into such importance. He is well qualified to do this. Mr. LaFollette has already served in congress: in deed, it was at Washington that he received his first lessons in politics and inaugurated his campaign of re form. As a member of the house he was especially active in probing the land frauds which have since been brought to light. Ho found the entire influence of tho federal officials in his state turned against him to pre vent the disclosure of the system of fraud that prevailed. They defeated all his efforts to secure reform or to probe the land frauds, and th.ey finally succeeded in beating him for 'congress. He saw that he had to win his fight at homo before he could carry out his program. He won it, became gover nor, and now goes to congress to con tinue the fight there, for the war has been transferred to Washington. Governor LaFollette's pet hobby has always been governmental control of railroads and all corporations. The program announced by President Roosevelt is thoroughly in accord with LaFollette's aims and desires. He will unquestionably be an able lieu tenant in the senate, where he goes, as he himself says, to do all in his power to aid the president to carry out his purposes in regard to the railroads.
