Arizona republican., 1904-04-28

Republican applause greeted this as- sertion. MT. Cochran, he declared, mistook epithet for argument and de- uunciation for demonstration. He re- ferred to the democratic platform re- gently adopted in New York and said the convention did not dare proclaim any proposition that had any idea of definiteness whatever, because, he said, the democratic party could not enact any of their propositions into the law of the land. God be praised they can not" he exclaimed, because the coun- try is protected from democratic legis- lation for four years to come, no mat ter what happens to the presidency or to this chamber
 He asked the democrats if they stood on the speech of MT. Cochran, the new risen leader of democracy" He directed a specific question to MT. Williams if he approved of MT. Cock rams policy. MT. Williams remained silent. MT. Littlefield then ventured the assertion that the democrats would march out with fife and drum and force their cohorts into line and make the people believe they both approved and disapproved."
 He goaded MT. Williams for a reply, but the minority leader remained si- lent. He then sought reply from MT. Clark of Missouri.
 MT. Clark set the democrats frantic by saying that when the house should give him an hour he would make a re- ply that would knock some of the gentlemen silly" No one, he said, could reply "yes" or mo" to one hour of cheap demagogy. Screams of ap- prOval came from the democrats at this utterance. "The gentleman from Min souri wants one hour to indulge in vil- lification and vituperation," retorted Mr. Littlefield. Mr. Clark, he said, could say yes or mo" now, and he would give him until the end of the campaign to answer.
 A suggestion from Mir. Clark that he and MT. Littlefield could hire a hall and debate the proposition was the signal for a tumultous outburst of applause from the democrats, but MT. Littlefield pressed for categorical answer from any man of the democratic side.
 Mir. Baker, of New York. arose. Will the gentleman yield?" he excitedIy asked.
 No" said Mir. Littlefeld. Fools rush in where angels dare not 'enter." Gesticulating wildly and showing great excitement. MT. Baker shouted: "I will give you an answer if you want ones I will give you one"
 MT I.ittlefield paid no attention, but there were republican cries of let him go on: let him go on!" but he said t,lere was only one man left on the demo- cratic side. MT. Baker, who had the physical courage to say he was ready to give an answer. MT. Littlefield called on Mir. DeArmond to say whether he did or did not agree with Cockran's views.
 Democratic applause greeted MT. DeArmond when he said tn edemocrat- ic party would declare for a revision of the tariff, 'so as to drive from shelter the trusts who are now robbing the people,"
 He then wrought the democrats up to a high pitch of enthusiasm when he asked Mir. Littlefield to answer yes" or mo" as to whether the republicans would drive out the trusts. MT. Little field, amid democratic jeers and laugh ter. said he would answer when he got ready.
 Mir. Littlefield then threw down the gauntlet to the democrats and said none of them dared rise in his place and say he approved the speech of Mir. Cochran. MT. Cochran himself. MT. Iittlefield declared, did not stand by it. Mir. Dttlefield said that under the last democratic administration there was a deficit of s1O5, 100000. It was then. he said. that Secretary Carlisle issued bonds which August Belmont and J. P. Morgan negotiated with a profit to themselves of more than $10,000. 000 Continuing, he said it was no wonder a return to power was wanted by the democrats, in order that they may have an opportunity to steal the revenues of the United States government.
 Mr. Williams, of Mississippi then ad- dressed the house, devoting the first part of his address to a comment on MT. Dalzelrs assertion that hoodlums were to be found among those adven- turers, who have left their own country for the country's good, rather than among Americans. He recounted the deeds of foreigners in this country and referred to members of the house of foreign extraction, drawing the infer ence that MT. Dalzelrs statement was unjustifiable.
 Mir. Williams spoke of the millions of descendants of the pilgrims, who came on the Mayflower, and he said, they would tell you better than that" Foreigners who had come to the United States. he declared, would say they left their country because condi- lions at home were worse than would be found in the wilderness among the red men. He said that the thoughts of republicans along. financial lines were about the same as those along inter- national lines. Republicans, he said. were men, who if their theories were carried out, would not buy a single art icle on the face of the earth from any body.
