the poorer classes The committee on
laws reported IN favor OF giving this
power to the general committee and max
ing the provision retroactive, extending

 Washington. April 27. 1t is worthy of the cause of truth as 1t relates to the candidacy of Will liam R. Hearst. for the Democratic nomination for President to note a very interesting fact in connection with his record as a party man.
 During all the high tension and in- tense excitement which has prevailed in the House during the past week. when party lines have not been more tightly drawn during the session. when every Democratic vote counted, when party loyalty and party courage was put to the test, when the Democratic minority rallied with unprecedented enthusiasm to follow the leadership of John Sharp Williams, there was one exception furnished, and that was In the position Of the man who is seeking the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent, William R.
