WISCONSIN SENATOR SCORES ROOSEVELT
FOR ANNEXING POLICY OF PROGRESSIVES
Says Roosevelt Could Have Done All the Things Which He Is
Now Urging While President If He Was Sincere—Is
Opposed to Third Term and Believes Roose
velt Should Be Turned Down
Valley City, March 15.—All
doubt was dispelled regarding
Senator La Toilette's views of
Roosevelt's candidacy during his
speech here last night.
The senator devoted one-half of
the time to roasting Roosevelt for
entoring the race under the guise
of leader of fhe progressive Re
publicans. He condemned the
third term policy and said Roose
velt had himself declared against
it four years ago when favoring
Taft.
Senator La Follette said: "Mr.
Roosevelt has served two terms as
president of the United States and
could have done all the things
which he is now urging because
he is a candidate. He failed to
urge those measures while in of
lice, although they were just as
pressing then as now and what
assurance have the people that he
would do so now if elected."
He said Roosevelt had neglect
ed his opportunity of defending
and safeguarding the interests of
the people against the big inter
ests and would never get another
chance.
Other progressives had been
working for the very measures
which Roosevelt now boldly
claims as his own, but had met
with antagonism from him while
he was the nation's chief execu
tive.
Senator La Folletle announced
he was in the race to stay until
I he Chicago convention had se
lected the candidate. He would
make no compromise.
