WADE HAMPTON.
Senator Hampton, after briefly supporting
the bill, s2oke upon the general political issue.
1t was true Southern members formed Il
majority in Congress and were responsible for
what they approved and supported as well as
for what they suggested. He, Hampton, could
not claim to speak as leader OF his party,
but speaking for himself he would never try to
action behind any man or party. If the policy
supported by him revolutionary and
reasonable he wasa
REvoLUroNIST AND TRAITOR.
But what policy is before Congress worthy of
such 4 charge:
Continuing, Senator Hampton said by no
vote Dl mine will the appropriations necessary
FOR the efficient maintenanc of the army be re-
fused. 1t is COMPETENT for Congress to declare
under what Limitations and upon what condi-
tlons those appropriations shall be made. The
form in which this is done | regard us imma-
terial. In my judgmentit it would lave been
best to adhere to the general form, but as it
has been deemed advisable to make the ncces-
sary appropriations in another manner shall
in order to secure unanmity, acuuicsce in the
decision of the majority. But in event can
[ consent to aid in disbandng the army or inn
pairing its efficiency. 1t is the army of the
South we'll as of the North--it is
TIE ARMY OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

tion through its achievements OF 1912, and the
slories Of the Mexican war, have the same

act of mine shall! deprecate its value or lessen
its usefulness. Because SO regard it no act of

rank. will not so Iegslate that its own

Nor will 1 assent because of any differences Of
opinion between the minority and the majority
to close the courts of justice embarrass the
necessary and orderly life of the government.
The constitution has provided means by
which appeal to the country be deter
mined, and it is for the people to decide
whether Il Presidential veto has been wisely
used to defeat the will of Congress. which rep
resents the majority of the people.
Senator Hampton proceeded to say that he
had no intention to embarrass the administra-
ton. While he himself considered the pro-
visions of the bill as just he Recognized the
difficulty of the position in which the execu-
tive found himself. His people remembered
that in critical period of their history. when

was wide spread doctrine that the result o

machinery of the government, including tn
army, to confirm such added power. HI
Hampton, thought the war had not change
in any way the relative powers of States an
the Union. One of the principal factors @
success and growth has been the play of loc;
government influence. 1t was not the immt
