More of Willie"
 and His Seat
IN CONGRESS WHICH HE SEL-
 DOM EVER FILLED.
Hia Vote Rarely Tailed With the Black Type in His Newspapers- in the Matter of "Absenteeisr," Wil- liam Was "There" in Nearly Every Instance Which Gees to Show There in a Good Deal of Buncome About the Common Peoples Friend.

Washington, Thursday--The rec ord of absenteeism is so continuous that il becomes an interesting study to those who have lendeavored to reconcile the failure of Mir. Hearst to vote with the policy advocated by his newspapers in the propaganda of the national policy set forth in numerous editorials in blackfaced type. Among the prominent instances where the vote of Mir Hearst, the Congressman. failed to support NIT. Hearst, the edi- tor, were these: The efforts to re- commit Cuban Reciprocity Bill. which was condemned by the Democrats as being in the interest of the sugar and tobacco trusts; the attempt to secure a congressional investigation of the post office scandal; the passage of the Pure Food Bill, which was in the interests of the food consumer; the effort of the Democrats to abolish bonuses for fast mail facilities: to stop the annual payment of rent for the old custom house to the National OH ihc lfSAil Oi t-it ltoA0VAN to govern by executive order; and the bills for the admission of the ter ritories to statehood.
 While always advocating a larger navy. NIT. Hearst was so unfortunate as to be away from the Capitol when the Navy Bill was under considera- ton, and was paired in faver of sub stantial reduction in the increase of the naval establimsent proposed by Congress fer this year. His vote was in favor of cutting out two armoTe1 cruisers upon which the committee had made a favorable report and for which it was strenuously contest ed on the floor.
 But here is the record of ab- senteeism in full.
 November 9-On adoption of the rules. VOTED.
 November 16-On order of business on Cuban Reciprocity. Not present
 November 19-On Williams motion to recommit Cuban reciprocity meas nre with IcertsSn instructions. No. present.

Republicans False Promises.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: 1t is
announced that there i little hope
for the statehood bill to pass con
9ress. Indeed. there has never been
.any hope al all for it in our judgment.
Several obstacles have been in the
way Of it. The fact that the republi-
can party in its national platform in
1900 declared that I'VE favor home
rule for and the early admission to
statehood of the territories Of New
Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma" was
virtually conclusive evidence that il
favored nothing of the kind. Senator
Quay has been trying for TWO years to
@r' the republican party 10 keep its
pledges. but il has been to no pur-
pose. Nothing else really was to have
been expected. The republican party
never had any idea Of keeping it
promise with regard To statehood. and
that plank i'm its platform was placed
there purely for buncombe.

Three ais TO Bolt.


"Another thing which gave the reso-
luton many votes was the fear Of
belt on the part of the advocates of the
state ticket. They had openly threat
ened to walk out of the convention if
the ticket were not indorsed, and many
voted to indorse it in order to prevent
a walkout q. c. TruaX. postmaster
at Tekoa declared openly that if the
state ticket were not indorsed he and
many others would walk out of the
convention and that another convention
would be held and a rival ticket placed
in the field"
f. NJ. Warner of the Colfax Gazette,
which has stood with the Pckerell
Gaddis faction for the past two years,
also stated publicly that the faction
would leave the convention hall if the
ticket We're not indorsed. There is
no doubt that these threats made some
votes for the Endorsement Of the state
ticket. but not sufficient to secure its
approval, the vote standing SO against
to q for Endorsement on all other
questions involving the advocates of
the state ticket and the commission
forces the vote was about 10 to So
in favor of the commission forces.
Not Question of Loyalty.
W. II. Harvey, who was delegate
to the state convention, in conversation
about indorsing the state ticket, said:
I believe in party loyalty, but do not
believe that party loyalty should COM
pei US to indorse that ticket. | do
not understand how any one from this
section who attended the state conven-
ton and Witnessed the supreme con-
tempt with which the eastern Wash
ington delegates were treated and the
high handed manner in which our pleas
We're turned down. could so far hui
initiate himself as to indorse the action
of the state convention and tacitly an
noUnce to the world that the forces
which controlled that convention We're
right and We, of eastern Washington
were all wrong and deserved the treat
ment accorded us
Another indication of the intention
of many of the delegates to refrain
from supporting the state ticket was
evidenced in the deep interest taken by
them in the democratic national con-
vention. Few appeared to be much
interested in the democratic nominee
for president but all interest centereG
