Passed by a Sectional Vote.

We have heretofore published the facts
showing conclusively that the Mills bill is
sectional in its provisions and operations.
The passage of the bill through the House
under Southern Bourbon leadership and
rigid partisan pressure was brought about
by sectional predomnance in the Demo
cratic party. The trainers of the bill
were nearly all from one section of the
