Aldrich coup ends La Follette filibuster in emergency currency row
The piece argues that the end of La Follette's filibuster against the emergency currency bill came via a political trick by Aldrich and allies. It traces the bill's history, noting opposition to including railroad securities as currency, La Follette’s amendments, and how political pressure and last minute changes forced passage. The article frames the episode as a wider conflict over democracy versus big corporate interests and predicts future historians will cite it as a significant event in restoring popular government.
