BOUTELLE SEEKS
JUSTIFICATION
OF Dingley Law in Reply TO
Williams Speech.
HOUSE IN GOOD HUMOR
AND BOTH SIDES VIGOROUSLY
APPLAUDE UTTERANCES OF
PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Washington, Jan 2G-Representa-
tive Boutelle of Illinois addressed
the house for nearly two hours today
in reply to q statement made by
Representative Williams of Missis-
sippi the minority leader in his stand
pat" speech few days ago. Williams
in turn replied to Boutelle. The
house had under consideration at the
time, the urgent deficiency bill.
Representative Boutelle received
the close attention of both sides of
the chamber, and when he spoke of
the passing of the bitterness between
the north and south, he was loudly
applauded on both sides Boutelle
was humorous and grave, pathetic
aud poetic. In answering the charge
of the minority leader that the Re
publicans were idol worshippers he
reviewed the history of the Demo
cratic party in the last two cam
paigns. and in doing SO he likened
the CONSPICUOUS figures of that party
to characters in biblical history. He
told the minority that they still have
Bryan to reckon with,
Boutelle had carefully prepared a
volume of extracts from southern
newspapers. each of which spoke OF
prosperity enjoyed in its respective
community, stress being laid on con
ditions in Mississippi. While not
claiming credit for these conditions
wholly for Dingley, he said 1t was
the most beneficient law for all sec
tions that had ever been enacted.
Representative Boutelle in conclu.
sion declared Roosevelt would be
renominated and would receive the
same large vote given Lincoln Grant
and Mckinley, and said if it were
not for those whom he called geo
graphical Democrats" the vote would
be the greatest since Monroe's time
The reference TO Roosevelt received
applause on the Republican side
Representative Williams in his re
ply was likewise humorous and as to
Boutelle's reference to Roosevelt AZ
the Republican nominee said the
Republicans had gone so far they
could not back out. and were Obliged

GOLD HUNTING TRAPPERs.

hunt for gold with. pick and shovel and

still tread the lonely. mountain, trails
from digging to digging as they did in

the business Of hunting and trapping

cure and sell in the spring. With the
proceeds they buy prospecting tools

expression coined among those forest
Nagabonds, "they hit the trail" All
