REPUBLIC MS ARE
 CAUGHT MAPPING
Williams Speaks Against Bur-
 denlng the Record,
RULING WAS EXPECTED
Decision Against Cochran Was Purely Partisan and Vote on the Ap- peal Motion Was Also
 Partisan.

Washington April 27.-(Special)-R resentative Williams of Mississippi, the minority leader, caught the republicans mapping in the house late this afternoon, and as a result the Congressional Rec ord will not be loaded down with politi- cal speeches delivered" after congress adjourned It has been the practice for years to allow members to print their views in the Record.
 The privilege has been very much abused by members of both parties, on several occasions there being made neces- sary dozen extra editions of the Rec ord. But the worst feature of the privilege was the fact that members could make any statement for campaign purposes and there would be no opportunity af- forded for reply
 Representative Grosvenor of Ohio who probably had up his sleeve another Roose- Welt speech taking up a score or more pages in the Record. submitted the res olution Representative Williams made one of his effective speeches against it and called for the yeas and nays, the resolu- tion being defeated by 136 to 16. A nSmber of republicans voted with the den~orats, 1t being reported that Representative Baker of New York was planning to sub init few remarks on Chairman Bab- cock of the republican congressional com mittee, After the vote was announced the republicans learned that Baker knew nothing about the story.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-04-28
Was a Complete Answer.

The speech of Representative Williams of Mississippi in the house this after noon was a complete answer to Repre- sentative Littlefeld of Maine. The latter for more than one hour and a half had replied to the Saturdays speech of Rep resentative Cochran of New York. Un- til the last few minutes of Littlefield's speech Cochran was not on the floor of the house. When the New Yorker did appear he began to question MT. Little field upon the tin plate industry and the Maines statesman was very glad that his time had about expired. The Intention of MT. Littlefeld throughout was to make 1t appear that Cochran had delivered free trade speech.
 In the last two days the republican press of the east unable to get any com fort out of the manner in which Cock ran has been handling their representa- tlves in the house, has been declaring that Cochran stood for free trade and the democratic party was with him. MT. Williams at once took up this subject, and stated for Mir Cochran that it was not a question of free trade but ques- ton of reducing the tarln from the pres ent outrageous rates of the Dingley act.
 Even MT. Littlefeld, amid democratic applause and republican silence, was com pelled to admit that in certain instances where the home price and the foreign price of articles presented wide diff ference that perhaps the tariff ought to be reduced. The only return in any respect to the exciting scenes of yesterday was Mir. Williams calm and dignified refer ence to the fling made by Representative Dalzell yesterday to the nativity of Bourke Cochran.
 Discussing campaign issues MT, Will Hams said 1t was not true that the dem oeratic party was at a loss for issues. It had plenty of them, but the republi can party was going before the country on one issue and that was "borrowed from the gamblers stand pat"
