Bs-naetaAisrn Is peonzised TO the people
OF this country. They wait with much
srzpaxience fsrfase fusfi.nrent OF the
pledges soaefnnfs> aasade by both posisi-
cal parties
Daniel. Dem. Va, said the Demo
cratic party had come into power
charged and pledged by the people 10
the equal coinage OF both metals and
the repeal OF the tax on state hanks.
and yet II was about to reiin4ussh its
power without redeeming It's solemn
pledges.
begins March next. were presented
by Powers. of Montana Hoar criticised
the manner OK making out the creden-
tias. saying they should be simple and
foiiow established forms. Hoar pointed
out that the governor of Montana re-
cited In the credentials that he -corn-
nissioned" Mr.. Carter as senator.
whereas. said Hoar. the governor has
no more power TO commission Senator
than to commission the sultan of
Turkey
Chandler criticised the committee
amendments TO the Indian bill. and
said he considered an extra session Of
congress inevitable. He claimed that
the chairman Of the appropriation COM
mfttee fCockrcsD had reached this con-
csusion. He thought this extra session
would be most desirable. 81 am most
hopeful" said Chandler. that the
president will cali congress together in
extra session some time in April or
May. 1t will no doubt assist in bring
ing back the stability OF the country to
assemble a Republican congress. That
congress will undoubtedly take up the
Nicaragua canal project and pass a.bili
for the building of the canal. not by a
private corporation. but by the United
States. / believe the next house OF rep
resentatives will take steps to bring
about the certain and ultimate anrlexa-
ton of Hawaii.
Moreover, the next congress win IN
augurafe an investigation of the recent
purchase Of gold by the president Of the
United States. That transaction Is one
of the most remarkable in our history.
The rates az which our bonds were sold
involve loss of s.oao. go 10 the people of
the United States. IL ever financial
transaction Of an administration needed
an investigation. it is this gold purchase.
IL ever a transaction needed a searching
and severe committee Of investigation.
such, for instance" continued the senator
satiricalIy, las the senate conducted
against the sugar trust, II Is this gold
purchase After reviewing some of the
features of the purchase. Chandler con-
tinued: There appears to be more below
the surface concerning this transaction
| than the country is aware Of. II Is not
a transaction that congress can allow TO
be uninvestigated. 1t Is sure to be in
yestigated by the house of representa-
| tives. 1t Is likely TO be Investigated by
| the senates And so. in order TO see that
| investigation thorough ard deep, hope
| IN see the extra session called"
| Cockreil responded to that feature oi
| ChandIer's taunt that the appropriation
! committee was loading down appropria-
ton bills. we'll knowing that al, extra
| session would be called. IF an appro-
priation bill falls said Cockrell. with
emphasis. .'it will be because of the sen
ator (Chandler) and the Republican steer
| ing committee. So far as the appropria-
tion committee is concerHsd. every effort
| is being made 10 expeditc the approprla
| tion bills
