Democrats Talk
at Republicans

Washington, June 1S.-The near APP
proach Of the end Of the present session
OF Congress was signalized by gen.
eral political speech by Richardson Of
Tennessee, the leader of the minority.
Taking advantage of the latitude al
lowed during general debate on the de-
ficiency appropriation bill, he delivered
set speech of an hour and half. He
arraigned the Republican party for its
failure to keep its platform promises,
dwelling especially on the question OF
trusts and the necessity for tariff re-
duction.
Shallenberger DEM of Nebraska,
also made a political speech, condemn
ing the administration for removing
Miss Taylor, a clerk in the War De-
partment, who criticized its Philippine
policy. and for justifying General
Woods expenditures for the promotion
of reciprocity legislation.
Cannon, chairman OF the Appropria-
tons Committee, in a brief reply to
both speeches. said he was ready TO go
to the country on the record of the
Republican party. He caused much
merriment on his side of the House by
describing the Republican party as
pulling the wagon. while the Democrats
stood off and found fault.
