kinley's Administration.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 6.-Congressman
John j. Lentz. of Ohio, made a radical an
ti-imperialist address tonight before big
audience In the Light Guard Armory. The
meeting was the first of a series undertake
en- by the Mohawk Democratic Club to
be held at intervals previous to the gen.
eral election next November. Mr.. Lentz
was introduced by Mayor Maybury as
man having "old- fashioned IDEAS" such as.
for instance. that all Just powers Of gov
eminent are derived from the consent of
the governed The speaker was frequently
and heartily applauded He asserted that
the question of Imperialism is by far the
most important one before the world to-
day and that the concentrated thought Of
our 80 600, 900 citizenship ought to be devoted
to it until 1t is settled and settled right.
Most of the speakers quotations in sup
port of his arguments were selected from
the words Of distinguished Republican an
ti-imperialists.
Mr.. Lentz devoted much attention to
what he termed President McKinley's
cornerstone" speeches, made during the
Presidents last Western tour He denied
the truth of the statement in the Pres
ident's message to Congress which said
1.-The noble sacrifice by which our soldiers
refuse to return home as long as they are
needed at the front forms one of the
brightest pages In our annals Mr.. Lentz
asserted tndt tne puouc RECORDS old not bear

He also quoted several of Admiral Dew
ey's reports as showing that the forces OF
Dewey and Of Aguinaldo were practically
allies and partners, and would have so con-
tinued had it not been for the alleged pur-
poses OF greed, which, according to the
speaker, dictated the policy Of expansion.
Speaking OF the published statements of
the President In reference to upholding the
flag. the congressman declared that the
Nation ought primarily to uphold. under
every circumstance. that which the flag
has stood for from Washington's time to
the present day, namely-self-governme

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Henry c. Stiff,
speaker OF the Montana House of Repre-
sentatives. was the first witness in the
Clark case before the Senate committee on
privileges and elections to-day. Represen-
tative Campbell. of Montana, questioned
Mr.. Stiff, and his questions were directed
toward showing that the embarrassed
financial condition of State Representative
Mclaughlin had been taken advantage of
by Senator Clark to approach him to Sc
cure his vote. and also that Mr.. Stiff's own
vote had been improperly solicited. Mr.
Stiff stated that he knew that Mr.. Nc
Laughlin was in distressed financial cir
cumstances prior TO the meeting of the
Legislature. He also stated that he had
himself been approached by w. NJ. Bick-
ford. as a representative OF Mr.. Clark. and
his support solicited for the latter.
The questions bringing out this informa-
tion were all objected 10 by the defense,
who insisted that Mr.. Clark must be di-
rectly connected with all transactions with
which IL was sought TO connect his name.
The reply was that his connection would
be shown over Mr. Clark's signature The
questioning OF Mr. Stiff was then directed
towards showing that Mr.. Bickford had
sought to secure Sufr's service to examine
the title OF property TO be purchased by
Mr. Clark from Mclaughlin for $4,000. a
part OF the consideration on Mclaughlin 5
part being, Bickford specified, that Nc
laughlin would support Clark for the SEN
ate. 1Ir. Stiff testified TO the correctness OF
this outline and added that Bickford had
told him he (StifD should have $500 for his
individual services. when so would have
been a good fee: that his own vote was
wanted for Clark and that he should be
put on Mr.. Clarks list OF attorneys for a
number OF years. Mr.. Bickford had. in this
connection, exhibited list of property 10
be sold by Mclaughlin. with prices 10 be
paid. which were I'm excess of the value OF
the property, and this property was after

also stated that a gentleman with Nc
Laughlin represented that he was en-
ployed by Mr.. Clark for two years at s. 500
a year and that Mclaughlin had since
been employed in this connection. He also
said that Mclaughlin had voted for Clark.
The witness stated that I'm another con-
versation with Mr.. Bickford. a week or so
previous 10 the meeting OF the Legislature.
The latter had offered him $1,000 If he
would withdraw from the contest for the
Ereakership and support Mr. Clark for the
senatorship. Mr.. Stir related a conversa-
