NELSON SCORES CALLING WHEELER 10 TRIAL SEPT. 1 Terms It ‘Prostitution of Department of Justice in Politics. By r vitrd Press CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—Bitterly scoring what he termed as “prostitution of the Department of Justice to politics,” John M. Nelson. La FolletteWheeler national campaign manager, in a statement issued today, protested against the forcing of Senator Burton K. Wheeler to trial on charges of misusing his senatorial office on Sept. 1, the day he had set to open his speaking campaign in the East. % Wanted Trial “Senator Wheeler has been demanding a trial of his case ever since last May,” Nelson said. “It was only after he had announced the opening of his speaking campaign in Boston on Labor day that he was notified he would be arraigned that very day. “Having failed to prevent Senator Wheeler from going on with the investigation of the Department of Justice by. a framed up indictment, the Republican party now seeks to prevent him from carrying the facts of this corruption to the people of the country by bringing him to trial in the midst of this campaign. Exonerated “The action of the Montana district attorney in arraigning Senator Wheeler on Sept. 1 is a clear indication that the Department of Justice is to be used as an adjunct of the Republican national committee in the campaign.” Wheeler was exonerated in the Senate by a vote of 56 to 5 the statement says, and “agents of the Republican national committee, the Department of Justice and the copper interests are moving heaven and earth in an effort to make a case which will not be dismissed by the judge for lack of evidence.” J.

MY OWN STORY BOSSES ORGANIZE ARMY TO SEIZE STA TE CONVENTION

“MY OWN STOSY" is an exclusive newspaper version of one of the great autobiographies of modem times La Follette s own story of adventures in politics as written by himself in 1912. together with an authorised narrative of his experiences in the years since then. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS After two defeats as Progressive candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, La Follette is overwhelmingly nominated and elected in 1900. The political bosses ouek the adminlsration at evry turn. They are particularly bitter in their attacks on La Follette and his proposals for railroad taxation and regulation. However, under La Follette's administration, there is passed the railroad taxation bill, a direct primary law, a workmen s commensatlon law, a law creating an Industrial Commission, and other progressive labor legislatiolil With passage in 1911 of a law creating an industrial commission, Wisconsin led the States of the Union in its body of labor legislation. Child labor was reduced and the children kept in the schools. Excessive hours for women workers were abolished. The doctrine of comparative negligence was adopted for railways, and the long hours of trainmen done away with. The most carefully drawn work men's compensation law was adopted and the employers of the State or--1 ganized, under anew insurance law, an employers’ mutual insurance association, similar to those which in Germany greatly reduced accidents and compensated the workmen. Many other laws were added and i old one3 strengthened, and finally the industrial commission, modeled after the railroad commission, was placed in charge of all the labor laws, with full power to enforce the laws and protect the life, health, safety and welfare of employes. New Departure The industrial commission was a new departure of the first importance —the first of its kind in the country. By this measure the State assumed to control and regulate the most difficult questions of sanitaj tion, safety, health and moral wellbeing which affect the workers of the State. In all of my campaigns in "Wisconsin I had been much impressed with the fact that women were as keenly interested as men in the question of railroad taxation, rea- , sonable transportation charges, di- ; rect primaries, and indeed in the : whole Progressive program. They comprehended its relation to home life and all domestic problems, i They understood what it meant for ! the railroads to escape paying a mil- ; lion dollars of justly due taxes every ! year. ! They knew that the educational ■ system of the State must be supported; that every dollar lost to the | educational, charitable, and other inj stitutions of the State through tax i evasions by railroad and other corporations must be borne by added j taxes upon the homes and farms, j They understood that freight rates ! were a part of the purchase price of everything necessary to their daily lives; that when they bought food | and fuel and clothing they paid the i freight. Asa result my political meetings were generally as largely attended by women as by men, and these questions were brought directly into the home for study and consideration. It has always been inherent witb

me to recognize the co-equal interest of women. My widowed mother was a woman of wise judgment; my sisters were my best friends and advisers; and in all the work of my public life my wife has been my constant companion. / Mrs. La Follette and I were classmates at the University of Wisconsin, and naturally we had common interests. The first year of our married life, in order to strengthen myself in law, I was re-reading Kent and Blackstone at home evenings, and she joined me. This led later to her taking the law course as an intellectual pursuit. She never intended to practice. She was the first woman graduated from the Wisconsin University Law School. Helped in Work On one occasion when my firm was overwhelmed with work, and the time was about to expire within which a brief should be served in a Supreme Court case. I proposed to Mrs. La Follette that she prepare the brief. It was a case which broke : new ground, and her brief won with i the Supreme Court. About a year afterward Chief Jusi tic© Lyon, in the presence of a group | of lawyers, complimented me on the brief, saying, “It is one of the best I briefs submitted to the court in ! years, and in writing the opinion I I quoted liberally from It because it was so admirably reasoned and so clearly stated." I said, “Mr. Chief Justice, you make me very proud. That brief was written by an unknown but very able member of our bar —altogether the brainiest member of my family. Mrs. La Follette wrote that brief, from start to finish.” Although Mrs. La Follette never made any further practical use of her law, this training brought her into closer sympathy ahd companionship with me in my professional r work.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

It has always seemed to me that women should play a larger part than they do in the greater housekeeping of the state. “One of the factors In the improvement of conditions in Wisconsin has been the selection of able women for positions in the State service, particularly upon those boards having to do with the welfare of women. Reformer' often stop fighting before the battle is really won; before the new territory is completely occupied. I felt that the campaign of 1904 was the very crux of our whole movement. We had passed our railroad taxation and primary measures in 1903; but the railroad taxation law would be a barren victory until it was supplemented by a commission to control railroad rates; and the direct nomination of candidates would fail unless we carried the election and secured the adoption of the primary bill at the referI endum that falL Without the direct primary law it would be an easy nw”er for the old machine to regain control of the Legislature and not only prevent further progressive legislation, but undo part, if not all, of the work already accomplished. I felt absolutely sure that another term, with another Legislature, would securely ground and bulwark self-government in Wisconsin. I knew that the opposition understood this, too, and that they would make the most desperate fight in that campaign that they had ever made. I began. therefore, delivering speeches both Inside and outside the State as early as December, 1903 — j nearly a year before the election. J As for the old machine, Congress i man Joseph W. Babcock early came I forward as commandor-in-chief. He criticized the methods adopted by Phillip, Pflster and others in the

campaign pf 1902 as being too open and noisy. “Gumshoe Campaign” He came right to Madison, rented some rooms and began what he called a “gumshoe campaign.” Men were sent quietly about the State, arrangments we re made for controlling the employes of the railroads and the big industries, and the Federal officeholders were marshaled for duty. Upon our part the campaign of 1904 was the most comprehensive of the whole series. We went straight to the people ■with the same facts — the same dry statistics —which we had used so effectively upon the Legislature in 1903. We prepared ten different pamphlets and distributed over 1,600,000 separate pieces of mail. Some of these pamphlets contained comparative tables showing transportation rates upon all the principal products shipped to market from every county seat in the State. Two or three weeks before the close of the nominating campaign we were surprised by an entirely new tack taken by the old leaders. Word came that in many counties second sets of Republican delegates were being elected under such circumstances that it could have but one meaning—that the opposition was laying the foundation either for stealing the State convention or else bolting it and placing a third ticket in the field. Tiiey were desperate, they knew that it was their to win the State under the old system, that the approaching nominating convention would probably be the last ever held in the State for the nomination of candidates, as indeed it proved to be. When the time arrived for the convention to meet, at Madison, they brought in a veritable army of men. All their leaders were there —Babcock, Pflster, PhUlipp, Spooner and Quarles. We reali2ed we were facing a crisis, that all we had been struggling for in Wisconsin might be lost if we permitted these men by force or by confusion to cast doubt upon the action of the convention. Th* convention was called to meet in the university gynasium, the largest auditorium in Madison. We felt It necessary to protect the doorkeepers from being rushed and swept aside by a crowd of men not entitled to seats as delegates. G uards Posted So the night before we had constructed at tile delegates’ entrance a b;irbed wire pa sage which would admit of the delegates entering only in single file. Stationed along the line of this fence we hail twelve or fifteen of the old university football men—fine, clean fellows who were physically able to meet any emergency. The machine crowd formed in a ! body on the capitol square, a mile I from the university, and marched down in large numbers, prepared to take possession of the convention halL They had printed “fake” badges and delegates' tickets exactly duplicating those issued by the Suite central committee to all regularly elected delegates—theirs well as curs, j (Copyright, 1924.

COOLIDGE HAILED AT G. 0. P. RALLY Watson Says He’s Glad La Follette Has Quit Party, Ry United Pres* ANGOLA, Ind., Aug. 23 —RepubHcan workers of northeastern Indiana were swinging into the campaign today with "belief in Calvin Coolldge’' as their battle cry. The campaign was formally opened with a picnic rally at Lake James Wednesday. Twenty-five hundred attended the rally. Senator Fess of Ohio, the principal speaker, praised the Republican Administration and branded campaign speeches of Jonn W. Davis as "lacking in a single constructive suggestion.” "He makes an issue of honesty In government when the people know that Calvin Coolldge is as ruggedly honest as the day is long.” Senator Watson, in introducing Senator Fess, stressed the importance of electing a Republican Congress. "We’re glad La Follette has shown his real colors and is at last out of the party,’’ Watson said. State Chairman Clyde Walb, Ed Jackson, nominee for Governor, and other State candidates also spoke.
