was best known for his leaning to

In public address, Senator l.al-'td-lotte'a.
delivery was dynamic and
dramatic ulwas, with violent ges
tures and penetrating voice. When
he wnrmed to an oratorial effort,
he had 4 habit of tossing back his
pompadour with a quick, sharp jerk
of the head nnd running his fingers
through . his thick locks. His
speeches often lasted for hours,
especially during his filibusters In
the senate.
Senntor I.r.Folletto derived his
namo from - nncestral stock of
French Hugenot refugees. His Ken
tucky father, Jusiuli liiit'ollette, and
his mother. .Mary (Ferguson) l.a
FoUeUe, were pioneers in Wiscon
sin, where they wynt from Indiana.
Their children were reared In the
fnee of poverty, but ull wovo able
to attend tho rural schools.
Robert was admitted to the Uni
versity of . Wisconsin by speelnl
waiver of entrance charges. Ho soon
attained prominence in dramatic and
debating classes, and nlso as editor
of' the college magazine. After his
graduation ho was railed upon to
support his mother and sister while
teaching a country school and
studying law. Ho was admitted to
the bar in 1SS0 nnd sooh entered;
politics as a candldato for prose-1
cutlng attorney. Despite the oppo-1
sition of what ho termed political;
bosses and machines, he was elected
and subsequently re-elected. Again
over the opposition of party lead
ers, he was nominated and elected
to the forty-ninth congress in 1.SS4.
becoming at 29 years of age the
young?st member of the house.
Started Knrly
He was appointed to a place on
the ways and means. .committee by
Speaker Reed nnd worked with
William McKinley, then a mem
ber of the Eamo committee, in
framing tho Mclvinley tariff law.
HIr, first speech In tho house was
against "pork barrel" .. river and
harbor appropriations', and, by j
blocking or amending bills spon-j
sored by the-leaders, he early classi
fied himself as an "insurgent." '
Elected governor of Wisconsin in !
191)1 on a reform platform, - he
launched a fight against railroad in
fluence in state politics, and also
led ' the movement for the direct
primary law, adopted by the Wis
consin legislature In 190 1. He was
elected to the seriate the' same year
and resigned from the governor
ship. As a presidential candidate Sena
tor, LaFollette began. an uctlve cam
paign for progressive support in De-
cemner, - l'jii, nut wnno speaaing i

ary ho collapsed after r. long ad-1
dress and many of his supporters
turned to Ifoosovult. Jo continued'
his campaign, but it was a 1iom:1-'.sk
enterprise. ; " , ,
l-'or Woman Sffraj?e
During his early . service iu the
senate ho won prominence Iiyr2-i
poated forays against "special prlvi- :
lege" and" "special Interi-ntu' in i
tariff and other legislation. II"
broke with President Taft in 1911 j
and opposed the administration's i
Canadian reciprocity treaty. Ho was'
an early advocate of woman . xuf-
1 1 u&u, itiuui i.KiniuiMiii alio tuA.iiion
of tho wealthy classes. Later lie,!
advocated recall or Judges mid I
judicial decisions and came out In j
favor of nationalizing tho railway.
Included In' tho long list of
measures against which ho fought !
stubbornly were the Aldrlcli-Vree-1
land currency bill, the comtii'-ree
court act and Hie I'nyne-Aldrfi h
tariff me.-iKiire. He niad i a sp.-n h
tasting four days advocating the
unseating of Senator l.orlmer of

tills political period that Mr. Lit

and other organisations throughout
tho country. An luvesttgatlou'of the
St. Paul speech, based on tho war
and America's part lu It. finally
was madu by the i-oniite privileges

speech and other evidence, anil
charged that ha had been - mis
quoted, a charge admitted by some
of tho reporters, and tho senate
inquiry was dropped In February,
191S.
t'tmtnploii of Labor
Always a champion of labor, the
l.r.Kollelte seaman's law, designed
to safeguard the interests of Ameri
can seamen, probably is the most
important measure bearing his
nam". Labor formed the nucleus of
the support to his independent
candidacy for the presidency.
Senator LaFolletto took a
prominent part In the framing of
tariff and tax legislation, fighting
the rordney-McCuinbor tariff
Hon mid opposing many of the
I'hiiugoH, proposed In tho luterual

Altjiough in n weakened condi
