however, that it would be called im

Probably the most Interested man
In the Rogtio River valley In the
course of tho Lorlmer investigation
In tho United States senate Is H. D.
Penfleld who resides with Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Frazer llrown In tho Ilur
rell orchards. Mr. Penfleld Is much
Inteested owing to the fact that Mr.
Lorlmer when a poor newsboy In
Chicago attended a Sunday school
conducted by Mr. Penfleld and asso
ciates. Tills was In 1S57.
"I do not know Mr. Lorlmer per
sonally," states Mr. Penfleld, "but
1 know much of his early history fn
Chicago and know that as a boy he
attended a Sunday school lu which I
was Interested ns a teacher. Mr.
Lorlmer, whatever he has been In
politics, has never forgotten many or
tho lessons taught In that school for
with tho many attacks made on him
It has never been suggested that his

La Follette Says Roosevelt Has No
Constructive Powers and Is Pro
gressive Only In Words Issues
and Principles Necessary.
Bryan and Teddy Contrasted With
Favor to Former Roosevelt
Missed Opportunity.
MADISON, Wis., July 12. Sena
tor Robert M. LaFolletto today wont
on record as opposed to the third
party movement fathered by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. In an editorial
In LaFollette's Weekly, he not duly
declared against tho Roosevelt move,
but scathingly attacked tho Colonel's
motives in organizing the now party.
LaFollette's editorial Is headed;
"The Case of Mr. Roosevoit," and
he sums up his conclusions ns follews:
"Mr. Roosevelt appeals to progres
sives to Join his party. Roosovolt's
whole record demonstrates that "he
has no constructive powers; that he
Is progressive only In words; that he
Is ever ready to compromise la order
to win, regardless of platform prom
ises or progressive principles.
"He will not last. In the end the
people of this country will get his
true measure.
"No party was ever successfully or
ganized about a man. Principles and
issues must constitute the basis of
any great movement."
Comparing Roosevelt with Bryan,
LaFollette says: .
"Bryaa at Rsltlfflore, ,'forfolBg
all chances of his own nomination',
marshalling all his forces, bravlHg
Tammany and the trusts to rescue
his party from their domination,
carrying the convention for the
adoption of a progressive platform,
the most progressive yet offered, was
a towering flguro ot moral power and
patriotic devotion to civic righteous
ness. "Roosevelt at Chicago, hacked by
money derived from the stock water
ing operations of the steel trust and
the harvester trust, organizing what
are now confessed to have been
'fake' contests as to nearly 200 dele
gates ln order to control the conven
tion and secure his own nomination,
refusing to aid In the making of a
progressive platform, bound to have
tho nomination or deciroy tho repub
lican party was a striking example of
mis-used power and unworthy ambi
tion. "Ho had 08 great opportunity to
serve tho party as Dryan, but ho was
for tho man."

Senator Lorlmer's allegation that ho
had consonted to tho attempted bri
bery or dolegates to tho recent Chica

mont today. When his attontlon was
called to the Lorlmer speech of yes
terday, In which the Illinois sonator
guvo tho nnmea ot Taft dolegates,
who ho snld, wore offerod money to
desert Taft, Roosevelt aaked: "Who
presented these affidavits?"
"Sonator Lorlmor of Illinois," he
was told.
Roosevoit threw back his head and
laughed. Then ho said:
"Woll, I don't think I care to make
any commont ou what Lorlmer, ot
Illinois has to say. To know who
was tho lntroducor o! such affida
vits ought to be enpugh for the.
avorago man."
Colonol Roosevelt conferred today
with Alexander P. Moore ot Piitsburg.
Timothy L. Woodruff ot Brooklyu,
and a number of the leaders ot the
national progressive party. After
ward ho said his plans for hla west
