Senator Kyle held an informal recep-
ton last night, at which addresses were
made by Congressman Picker, SEN
ator Blass, Senator Case, Representa-
tives Burke, Dollard and Greeley;
Judge Burt, Senator Kyle and others.
Major Picker and other republican
leaders all repudiated the idea that
there had been any barter and sale.
Senator Kyle was then called upon
and spoke briefly, defending his posi-
ton. He said that for years he had
been a republican, but that he had GER
tain positive convictions upon certain
economic questions that were nearly ex-
pressed in h populist platform; that
the country had spoken Upon the tariff

list. In closing, he said he would en-
deavor to vote in the senate for the best
interests of his constituents.
