The Senator Tells Why He Voted
for Protection
ON SALT AND WOOL
Humiliating Surrender to the
Sugar Trust.

Senator and Mrs. Wm. A PETER ar
rived in Topeka at / o'clock today on a

Il am delighted to get home,'' said the
senator to JOURNAL reporter. 4
think Topeka is the handsOmest place IN
the country and have never thought it
looked so pretty as now. I feel prouder
Of my little home because it is home,
than I ever have been before.
do you consider the work of the last
congress satisfactory" asked the JoUR-
NAL man
sDo r. and the senator looked trihe
ruffied. Il consider the Fifty-third con
gress the most stupendous failure in the
history of the nation. Not single act
of public benefit was passed"
s'What is your opinion of the new tariff
bnl?"
II don't like to talk about it. The
proceedings were so scandalous that l
do not enjoy talking about it. / speak
of the general discussion and the
complete surrender of the Democrats
to a handful of men. There were thirty
eight northern and southern Democrats
in favor of what has always been advo-
Gated by the Democratic party, but there
were six eastern men, who call them
selves Democrats, but who are really Re-
publicans, controlled that majority in the
senate.
"At no time could they get a majority
to support the proposed measure without
a caucus. so they held the caucus and
gave instructions to have a bill prepared
which would be satisfactory.
"Then the sugar trust came IL
with Il demand that the sugar
schedule be changed, and the
six men stood out and said we viii have
this bill or nothing. and then came the
surrender. How humiliating to see a
large body of men lay down their arms
before a half dozen"
why did you vote to put duty on
salt?" asked the reporter.
4 voted for d duty both salt and
wool, though l am really in favor of both
free salt and free wool discovered
that the tariff Legislation meant legisla-
ton in favor of class interests. and the
revenue feature was completely lost
sight Of / showed the senate that
all our Kansas salt makers wanted WAS
to retain their territory-that Is that
some duty be put upon salt SO that the
area they supply might not be encroach-
ed upon by foreign salt.
4 favored duty on wool because the
bill proposed putting a duty on woolen
goods, and / wanted the Kansas farmers
who raise the WOOL to be treated as well
as the manufacturers.
This whole thing was a grab game
and / simply did my best to see that
Kansas people were treated as well
other classes"
The reporter informed Senator PETER of
the withdrawal of Congressman Hudson
in the Third district
81 know absolutely nothing about
that" said the senator, 'sbut l under
stood he was to be taken off for political
reasons. If it is true that lie has de-
clined to be a candidate for business
reasons / am notsurprised Anyone who
expects to make money out of the posi-
ton will be disappointed"
The senator is 63 years old today but
he bears his age well and looks better
and younger than when he last left
Topeka.

Mayor Harrison has decided to veto
the resolution passed at the last meeting
of the council requesting him to remove
the sidewalk and sewer Inspector, Rich

publican III his place. He said in refer
ence to the matter and the reason his
name was not presented to the council
for confirmation: Il hold that temporary
appointments which are intended 70 run
for only a short time cannot be submitted
to the council for confirmation because
the state statute provides that when ap-
pointed and confirmed By the council
they must for two years. I also think
that the council room is a place to trans
act public business for the whole city
and not place to air political grievances
or try and make political capital"
