called leaders Of the party in Wash
ngton Two Of the things that have
caused the wagging of tongues this
week and last, have been the decision
of the United States supreme court
that compels the coal barons 10 an
swer the questions put to them by
the Interstate Commerce commission
in the suit brought by Mr. William
Randolph Hearst II was a famous
victory fer Mr. Hearst and has been
regarded here as vic ory for the
people over the vicious and arrogant
methods of the coal trust. II has

men who would have supported Park
er who VIII now support Hearst. They
