THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. ©, FRIDAY, JUNE T3, 1921 LA FOLLETTE DENIES HIMSELF TO CALLERS Behind Closed Doors at Home Here and Refuses to Talk With Reporters. SEES CLOSE Public Statement Awaits Return of Convention Lientenants. Senator Robert M. La Follette has locked himself up in his Wyoming avenue home here and denied himself to all but a few close associates un- til his licutenants return from Cleve- land late today with a detailed re- port of how his progressive platform rlanks were snubbed the Repub- lican nation ention. Efforts to r the senator at elicited the an- nauncement seeretary today that Mr. La ad canceled all interviews for the remainder of the week, but that “perhaps he will have an announcement to make early next week.” No amount of pressure could coax amplification of this statement from the secretary Interview Courteously Denied. After strenuous ringing on the part of a telephone operator, a reporter succeeded in obtaining ' an answer from the telephone in the La Follatte residence. Mrs. La Follette answered, and immediately upon learning the identity of the inquisitor courteously but firmly declared Mr. La Foliette would not talk to any—“without ex- eeption or favor'—for the present. Later in the day a reporter was in- formed, before he could even make own his identity, that the senator could not see any one. Two automo- biles parked before the door. how- ever, silently told of some favored callers who had managed to pass the surveillance of the servants. That Senator La Follette will, how- Wisconsin ever, give the country his definite decigion on the question of heading a third party at the coming elections in a statement to be issued early next week was strongly intimated in the statement of his clerk. There was an insinuation that he probably would emerge from his retirement by Mon- day—or Tuesday at the latesi—when he may either receive newspaper men personally or have a prepared state- ment issued from his office. Previous Utterance Quoted. In his letter to Attorney General Ekern of Wisconsin, on May 28, Sena- ASSOCIATES | 'or & Foliette virtually promised to run “‘unless the Democratic and Republican conventions demonstrate to the peo- Ple whether either of those partics can and will purge itself of the etil influences which have long dominated them.” In the same letter, however, he strongly denounced the communists, and charged them with attempting to control the Farmer- Labor-Progressive convention. The Republican national convention has now turned Senator La Follette's proposals down flat. The Cleveland delegates refused to incorporate one of his planks in the party platform. Informed circles are anxious to know whether the progressive leader will swing his support to the Democratic nominee upon that party's promise to accept his principles, or whether he will launch his third party forth- with, | Any statement Senator La Follette may issue must necessarily throw some light on this question, and if he makes appointments with newspaper men, as was indicated, he probably | will expect to be interrogated on that question and have some reply to make. How the Cat Came Back. From the Boston Transeript. “Fver try to lose a cat, old man?" “Yes, once. And I hit upon a plan that I thought was sure fire. I wrote a note inclosing $10 and tied it to the cat’s neck. The note read: ‘Finder may keep both the cat and the money.’ " “And how did it work?" ‘“The cat returned the following day with another note tied to its neck. The note read: ‘Don't need the cat, but can use the money. Please send §10 more." ™ La Follette Opens Fire on G. O. P., ‘Declaring Farmers Are Neglected Senator Insists Agriculturists Have Been Left to Solve Own Problems and Scores Congress’ Inaction. By the Associated Press MADISON, Wis, June 13—The present national administration has “literally turned its back upon the farmer,” Senator Robert M. I. Follette of Wisconsin declared in : statement made public today. further declared that the responsi bility for the “failure of the Sixty- ecighth Congress to meet a righteous demand from the farmers for neces- sary and effective legislation will rest upon President Coolidge.” His statement, in part, read: “The Sixty-eight Congress has adjourned after voting down a resolu- tion providing that the House and Senate should reassemble after the national conventions, in order to give immediate consideration to measures providing for relief of agriculture. Hits Freight Rates. ¥Those interests which demand ship subsidies, tax reduction profiteers, railroad guarantees, fat oil and land grabs and other special privilege legislation make the argument that the farmer must pull himself out of his difficulties by his boot straps and that nothing the federal government can do by law would prove of the slightest assistance. This, in sub- stance. is precisely the argument ad- STUDEBAKER Just Drive It; That's All dressed to Congress by President Coolidge in his first message. “The trath is that tho farmer is suffaring chiefly from artificial dis- dvantages which have heretofore cen saddled upon his back by act of ‘ongress or by the policies of the xecutive branch of government. The :sch-Cummins railroad law of 1920 brought a gigantic freight rate in- crease, unprecedented in American history, which has since made it im- possible for farmers in many sections o move their products to market at a profit. Says Privilexe Rules. “The ruinous ‘deflation’ policy of the same year, which ggined its au- thority and had its origin in a reso- lution adopted bv the Senate, plunged thousands of farmers into bankruptey and has made credit unavailable on fair terms to agriculture. These two wioked assaults on agriculture by the railroad corporations and the | organized banking power in them- selves were sufficient to prostrate the farmer. but to them has been added The Franklin Sq.
