oe elected ~ the same unanimous manner
as were Mr.. Manderson and myself

list senators. They had intended to pre-
sent Senator kyle's name but since such
a harmonious understanding had been
reaeaed between the Republican and Dem

marks promised TO Justify the confidence

Of a bill opening the forest reservations
In Colorado for the locating of mining
claims.

New York. who are concerned only with
gold"

Davis resolution. relative to the Monroe
doctrine. He confended that the Monroe
doctrine was simply one OF national self
preservation. and said that If the invasion
OF the South American republics by Great
Britain would endanger the welfare or
menace the safety Of this government in
any way We should apply this doctrine and
resent her action with all the strength and
resources % mighty nation. We must be
