of comparing the reaulta with tha

LAFOLLETTE'8 SEAT VACANT
“ TWO WEEKS.
The Atlanta Journal prints the
picture and the alleged afilrmatlon
ot a prominent Republican senator
who "glories” In Hoke Smith's
“spunk.”
This senator, LaFollette, Is also
quoted as saying that he did not
take his seat In the senate until a
>eai alter he was elected. How
nufleading this la! What are the
facts? LaFollette was elected Jan.
26, 1905. The term for which he
wur elected did not begin until .March
I, 1003, Congress adjourned March
3, 1906, and did not reconvene un
til December 4, 1905, and then fol
