CONGRESS IS CONTROLLED
Br RING, SAYS LA FOLLETTE
SEATTLE. Oct. 0? Senator Robert j
LaFoiiette of Wisconsin delivered a
lecture in Seattle last night on na
tional affairs and strongly criticised
tho present state of affairj in the
national congress.
L&Follette stated that Speaker Can
non and a small group of his associ
ates dominate the House of Represent
atlves to such an extent that they
practically dictate what 'egislation
shall be passed. He said it was no
tor'ous that Cannon packed commit
tees and rewarded his friends and
punished his enemies by giving or
w'thholding important committee as- J
Blgnments.
Conditions arc equally bad in the ;
Senate, said LaFollette. Aldrich and
Lis associates are in control and the
rules of procedure are so shaped as
to give the presiding officer arbitrary
and unusual power.
As long as the present conditions
continue LaFollette stated there will
be legislation passed favoring the
"Interests."
He coucluded by stating the people
have the remedy in their hands by
defeating the ring in control of con
gress by refusing to vote for any con
grcssinen who will not pledge them
selves to vote against Cannon as.
speaker. LaFollette said that the
ring could not have obtained control
of congress had it not been for the
indifference and apathy of the voters.
LaFollette was given a rousing re
ception.
