Lamar. Applause again followed
Mr. Williams when he said he had not
allowed personalities to influence his
transaction of public business. And
what he had done he said, had been
approved by almost the unanimous
opinion of members of the minority
side of the House" (Applause.) He
referred to the committee appoint
ments of Mr. Hearst-labor and irr1-
cation of arid lands and admitted he
did not love Mr.. Hearst. why
should | love a millionaire who owns
many newspapers which he seems to
be devoting to tearing me down?' ~
Mr.. Williams concluded with express
sions of regret at the proceedings.
And Lamar Came Back
Mr.. Lamar at once appealed for
recognition. as did Mr. Shackelford.
Mr.. Lamar was recognized for fifteen
minutes. He spoke with visible feel
ing and charged that the minority
leader had called the rate bill caucus
of last session because he was angry
at being turned down by his colleagues
on the Miles amendment. 1T was
not a caucus, it was a gold brick he
said.
Mr.. Williams interrupted to caution
Mr. Lamar and "to prevent unpleas-
ant things from happening" saying
that 1.-The gentleman is not permitted
to use insulting language on the floor
of this House"
Therefore he concluded Mr. Lamar
referred to a letter of criticism of Mr..
Hearst by Mr.. Williams. The latter
denied the criticism. During this de-
nial Mr.. Shackelford was recognized
and reviewed the history of rate leg
islation.
Mr.. Shackelford commended Mr..
Hearst personallv and for his rate bill.
He was glad to see that President
Roosevelt in his message had "cOme
around to the Hearst bill"
He declared against bosses" and
boss rule"
Mr.. Williams said he had had
enough and did not desire to reply.
The past had gone. He looked to tn
future and believed that this year
there would be found six Democrats
on a committee which would agree.
He was tired of discOrd. I'VE are
represented now in all the funny pa
pers of the country as d donkey"
THE trouble is he continued, turn
ing to the Republican side of the
chamber, that the people of the
country are tired of you and are afraid
of us and it is partially on account of
such things as happened here this
morning that it is afraid of us
The Democratic party. Mr.. Williams
said, would vote for a Republican rate
bill if it contained power TO name a
