The Original Insurgent in the Senate and House
William Kittle profiles Robert La Follette as the original insurgent against special interests. The piece recounts his opposition to timber theft schemes from Indians, canal subsidies, and railroad control schemes, and notes his rise from insurgent in the House (1884 1890) to the Senate in 1906. It highlights his clashes with party leaders, efforts for railroad valuation, and calls for a permanent tariff commission as proof of his reform stance.
