LaFollette Defends Duties of State Over Rail Regulation
Senator LaFollette critiques the Chicago Republican platform, arguing it abandons state railroad regulation in favor of federal control. He cites 1912 progressive defections and urges eastern Oregon support for a Pendleton normal school, urging regional unity to back eastern Oregon education. He notes rising rail and travel activity signals prosperity and forecasts a likely Round-Up turnout.
