WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-In a pic
turesque, spontaneous outburst, during
! debate of the president'! wool traiff veto.
if in the senate, -Senator: La4 Folletto of
,f Wisconsin yesterday attacked " the new
1 VosxeMive rrty-na iwr-new sl-
t leglance to progressive republicanism.
1; The original insurgent .qulyerlng with
i" emotion, with clenched, hands and sf alned
;! face, poured, out a flood kbf impassioned
i cratory that kept; the floor and galleries
i; of the senate rapt and silent,
jf ' Standing In the well of the chamber,
jt Senator La Follette assured his associates
;i that he intended to "keep up the fight
j? in the- republican party to make that
ji party really progressive'' Snd to "keep on
if until the last bell rings and he curtain
laiir.
K
Aiter reviewing briefly .the trust record
:; of Colonel Roosevelt Senator "La Follette
-. declared that the former president was
', "not the man to' find the way out now.'
i. He asserted: ti;kX'"no obstacle dragged
' across tho path of 'the progressive move
. mitln; the' republican party can now
stop its advance." ' He declared that
. when the republican party, through Its
progressive 'Associates, had reached a
' point whwo'jt .would "respond to the pur
, poses for which It ss born, an attempt
its made at Chicago to divert It.
; Senator Stone r asked Senator La
'..Toilette whet)jeTa,,he meant the nomi-
nation of President Taft, gr the noml-
: nation of ex-President Roosevelt:
' "I am awfully - aorprised," began Sen
jjator La Follette, ;that I left the senator
! from Missouri 4nv doubt I hope I did
' .not leave doubt In tbii mind of any one
! else." ' I Nv . '.
Answer Satisfies Stone.
. ' Then moving down the center aisle
; until his outstretched, shaking hands
j almost touched the stenographer's tables,
he continued:
"On the day that Theodore Roosevelt
tfwaa made president oft the United States
! there were MS trusts and combinations in
!the United Statea ' When he turned this
government over to William-.Howard
ITaft, there were 10,020 plants 'In com
blnation. When he became president the
f trusts had an aggregate capitalisation of
3,0OO,OOO.OOO and when he left the presl
dency, they bad an aggregate. , xsapl-
;: ttiati6n' of tsi.ooo.ooo,ootr and mors than
;r sr cent of it was water. t ,
I Thelr power has gone on growing and
spreading. There has been no dlmlnu
!;Uon in the present administration. The
!: present administration has - sought' to
Utnnlv thm SDiMrman antl.trimt law mftn
j rigorously than; Its predecessor; but the
I' time to have applied the Sherman anti
trust, law effectively was In the infancy
sf these trusts, when there werl bnly
Itt. ... . . Ct -w - . i
"I, don't; believe thst tha man who
fwas president for seven years, while the
greatest trust growth occurred, at the
'Svery time of all -times i In the. history
iiot the Sherman anti-trust faw ' it could
Jjhave been made potential. in deterring
lltrust, organJsaton-X: do noVpthlnk -,tha
jithe man ho was' president, then Is the
If man to fmd the way -out' now."' J
Then turning to Senator ' Stoner, Sena-
litor La Follette bowed and Inquired:
"Does that 'answer the senator from
Missouri?-' ": . 1 -
"That does fairly WetT resnonded Sen."
!itor Stonei drily, amid the laughter'' of
the senate. , , ... , .
if Senator Pomerene Inquired If. Senator
La Follette would tell how many of
: the 10,020 trusts were good and how
j, many -were bad."'' . ' "
i TraVts Not His ' Friends.
Jr. "I have no way" to differentiate," re
turned Senator La Follette, "because
jjnone of the trusts' are my friends. If
Ssny of them were supporting my pro-
poganga, t with large , contribution. '" I
jjtuppose I 'would be human enough to
call them good trusts. "They know about
;Jthe Wisconsin system And they know' It
iSis real dope for their business. ,,
ij "Bo I have no George W. Perkins and
if no money supporting me. It is a lone
practically single handed fight I have
' i, been waging for twenty-five years and.
,3itr. President, I am going to keep on
until the bell rings and the curtain
falls." . : .r ... . ; ...

without warning to the senate. He .arone
I. to make an analysis, of k the- president's
veto meesage on the wool bill, but had
spoken 'scarcely., a dosen words, when
Uhe break came. . As his eyes roved
ground the chamber he saw' that many
republican senators had left their seats
as he began to speak and with a bitter
Jemlle, be .turned .to the president , of the
senate:,
' "I note the f act, he said, "that on the
republican side there are Just fourteen
senators present. I am consiralnedi a
bit about .'this. .1 am Impelled ta ques
tion .whatherthat condition ma net be
a' sort of prophesy. of what Is to eome."
Senator 3U Follette then remarked
that he remembered the first time he ad
dressed the.' senate and practically every
seat on the republican , side was va
cated as a rebuke to him for presuming
to know anything ' about reglslatlon,
"I prophesied then that when the
people cam to understand the sort of
service they were getting those seats
would . be permanently, vacated, ' Since
fhen, there" have been some thirty of
those 'seats vacated. I don't believe that
the public of' this country Is going to
Jnd any measure of relief from that
condition by wandering off : Into unx
plored fields under .the guidance of. a
pilot' who- exercised a very 'supreme oc
troi while we were getting Into exactly
the same condition the country is In
now. ,v . ,
Faith In, Republican Party..
"1 believe 'the redemption of representa
tive government in this country will be
accomplished by the republican party."
As Senator La Follette continued, be
grew more earnest Several times he
realized that he had forgotten the orig
inal purpose of his speech and Inter.
rupted himself. -
Oo on. go on.f urged Senator William
Alden Smith, who sat near him.
I did- not intend to make this sort1
of a speech. I vow I did not." said Sen
ator La Follette. "but I would like to
go on.' " , - '
I'm Just seething with .it I Intend
to go on In two or three weeks, night
ana aay. i am never going to stop until
the republicans l,n the bouse of repre
sentatives and In the senate and each
of the legislatures are truly progressives,
I am going to keep the fight in the re
publican party. I think that Is tho best
Instrument through which to nrosTeaa.
Now, when it Is the purpose to make
the republican party respond to the pur
poses for which .It. was born, an at
tempt is made at Chicago to divert It
It will not succeed. It wljl not disturb
the surface of thfngs a little. The re
publican . party was born to make all
meri equal and t At Is alt that lies back
of the movement j of the true progress

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 17.-The con
ventlon of the International Typographic
eal union yesterday unanimously endorsed
officers and executive council and officers
and executive council of the Sterotypers'
snd Electrotypers' union for their attl-
iuae toward tne Chicago pressmen s
strike. The vote ended one of the hottest
fights that has marked the convention.
The striking pressmen were condemned
by the investigating committee for hav
ing refused to accept proffered arbitra
tion and for having sought to embroil
the International Typographical union
and allied trades unions. The stereotypers
In Chicago were found guilty by the com
mittee of having violated contracts and
the strike order Itself was denounced as
a blunder worse than a crime.
Delegate George W. Koop of Chicago
local No. It sad be would support the
committee report only because his local
had so Instructed. He criticised the In
ternational Typographical union for its
failure to support the strike. James J.
Freel, president of the Stereotypers' and
Electrotypers' union, he accused of hav
ing sought from Chicago representatives
of the American Publishers' assoctat'on
instructions as to bow he should deal
with the strike situation
Charges Aarntnst Koop.
Deliberate misstatements, was the
branding placed upon Koop's remarks by
President James M. Lynch, ' who spoke
In support of the committee report. He
charged Koop with misrepresenting hts
local on the floor of the convention.
The committee report practically
reiterated the statements regarding the
strike that had been made .before the
convention by James J. Freel, charging
In addition, that a certain Chicago dally
newspaper, claiming to be a labor pub
lication, libelled and misrepresented In
ternational officers and did all In its
power to keep the strikers agitated. Con
cluding, the report read:
This committee cannot too strongly
condemn the methods and tactlos used in
Chicago, and your committee believe?
that, not only should the International
officers of our organization be com
mended for the course they pursued, but
that they should be Instructed in the
future to see to It that every renewal
of the attempt to embroil us In needless
difficulties made by any other Interna
tlonal union is promptly exposed and
combated." t i,'.' i '
The convention Adopted the proposition
of Delegate Strlef of Sioux City- looking
to an Investigation of the school., text
