Wolcott OF Colorado, interrupted with
a statement that the rain belt OF Colo
RADIO had suffered from the same drought
but the secretary OF agriculture declined
to give the slightest help in the way of
SEEDS. Wolcots hoped there might be

ed Mr.. Wolcott.
Mr.. Chandler sarcasticslly pointed out
that the secretgry's letter requesting
twenty five counters, asked that he be-
given the selection, as the civil commits
sion was not able to furnish the class OF
counters required.

Mr.. Wolcott interpreted in brief
bu' somewhat sensational speech.
He said the real menace TO the coun-

With the executive, and which lever
had been used to such an extreme al
under tbe present administration. A
free coinage bill would have been passed
through the Iast hou, Of representatives
hsd not the power of patronage been
brought to bear by the administration
especially the patronage controlled by
the secretary Of the treasury. Colorado
was today flooded with the appointments
of many unfit ones made by the secretary
of the taersury for congressman WHIT
had "ratted" on the silver bill. Thus
his constituency had been debaucbed.
The best service that could be per.
formed would be to deprive the presi
dent and cabinet officers from the entire
power of patronage, so no longer senR
tors and represen tatives would hang
around the White House and calumet
officers begging for morsels OF patronage
AT this point, debate having diver geo
considerably, from the appropriation
bill, an executive session was held after
which, at B: 30 p. m, the senate adjourn
