thai the army can ba used for tho mhlnte-

yond tho reach Of Congressman who nre dis.

Is ~ clear Al the sunlight, and there was
no instance during the recent labor troubles
where tho President did not apply
tho law according to strict. constitutional
methods. Tho troops wers not used in nuy
instance except where the State authorities
made formal application undor tho ConHtitu-
ton and tho law. As the Courier-Journas

two conservative Democratic papers to the
bourbon conspfrasors against the army in the
House Of Representatives.
