Miller: the papers. And they photographed my shoes and every- 

 thing I had. I had the press licked, oh, beautifully. 

 I never licked anybody so beautifully as I licked that 

 press, all those red writers that were in there, see, 

 "Don't you dare come to this county or I'll see to it 

 that I take you across the line, too." 



So, these were the ways that I cured them of 

 sucking eggs and boy! it was beautiful! I enjoyed it 

 like I never enjoyed anything in my life. If I didn't 

 make a monkey out of that guy! I mean Senator Robert 

 LaFollette. 



One day I saw him in Washington, about five, ten 

 years later, and he says, "Oh, this is Sheriff John 

 Miller." He remembered me. 



I said, "Senator, how do you remember me?" 



He said, "1*11 never forget you. You're the only 

 man I know of that licked the stuffings out of me." 

 And he said, "Won't you please come in and I'll buy 

 you dinner." And we sat down and we chatted there 

 with thirteen other big high senators and we enjoyed 

 our meal together. I had made a good man out of 

 Senator LaFollette and I enjoyed doing it.
