Lectures Givrti Throughout the Conn-
try Arouse Intense Interest on the
Action of Uonsressmm mul Sonn
tors on the Rnilroiul Rill Lecture

tor In Follette Next April Will Re
Interesting.
Senator Robert M. La Follette of
Wisconsin, who has been hilled to
lecture In Pendleton next April, un
der the auspices of the lecture course
Just organized In this city. Is pointing
the accusing finger at senators and
members of congress all over the
United States, since the battle on the
rate bill last winter.
The Interest in Senator La Follette's
lectures Is Intense throughout the
United States, since each state and
community Is anxious to know how
their senators and congressmen voted
on the rate bill.
The following dispatch from Man
kato, Minn., shows how the people
appreciate La Follette:
Senntor Robert M. La Follette of
Wisconsin, lecturing under the au
spice? of the T. M. C. A. in the opera
house here Wednesday night, bluntly
charced Senator Knute Nelson with
having voted against nn amendment
to the railroad rate bill which would
have saved the people of the United
States HS5.000.009' a year.
Mr. La Follette's charge was made
In response to queries from the audi
ence as to how Minnesota congress
men had voted on the rate bill and
amendments, which Senator La Fol
lette discussed in his lecture.
"How did our senators vote?"
aske.l a man In the gallery.
"And our congressmen, too,'' in
terposed George Atchison, a well!
known citizen of Mankato. "Seven
tons of speeches have been sent Into
this congressional district this fall.
nn some of the speeches have not
been delivered yet."
In reply Senator La Follette read
the roll calls on two of his amend
ments to the rate bill.
The Roll Call.
On the one authorizing the inter
state commerce commission to make
a valuation of the railroad properties
In the United State, Senator Nelson
voted "No" and Senator Clapp did not
vote.
On the amendment which forbids
federal Judges who own railroad stork
or ride on passes from trying railroad
cases, Senator Clapp voted "No" and
Senator Nelson did not vote.
"You do not have to go through
very many roll calls when you are In
vestigating the record of one of your
representatives in the government at
Washington. Two roll calls, or even
one. if the subject is one of momen
tous Interest to the people, will show
you the line-up as between the men
who are serving the people and those
who are serving the corporations.
Evades the Question.
"I am not going to evade the ques
tion asked me," continued Senator La
Follette,. "Any senator or congress
man ought to vote every time so that
he will be proud to have his constitu
ents know how he voted. That Is
what we pay for printing the Con
gressional Record for. It would be
a mighty sight easier for ne to be a
good fellow and keep quiet about my
colleagues, but I believe that In an
swering such questions as those Just
put. to me I am doing the public a
service, and I propose to continue the
work during the four or five years
that are left of my term In the senate.
"The roll calls I have read tell
their own story.
"As to Senntor Clapp, he is a mem
ber of the Interstate commerce com
mittee in the senate, the very com
mittee which should have given the
ponrle of this country the relief which
the Interstate commerce commission
has been urging since 1897.
la the House.
"In the house, the responsibility of
the Individual member Is not so great,
as I look at it, as it Is In the senate.
In the house a member Is powerless
until he obtains the recognition of
the speaker. A bill Is helpless In the
house If a committee squelches It.
Rut In the senate any senator can
get the floor at any time and make a
ringing protest against the suppres
sion of n worthy bill, or move to dis
charge the committee and bring the
bill up for Immediate action."
Senator La Follette's audience filled
the opera house and included a num
ber of visitors to Mankat". including
James Manahnn. the attorney for the
Minnesota Shippers' association: Ceo.
S. Loftus. W. H. Hubbard. Labor
Commissioner W. H. Williams of
