Democratic colleagues for their failure
to support the so-caled Hearst bill, ana
he felt that Mr. Hearst himself might
produce the desired effect. Ordinarily,
he said, public men expect fair criti-
cism Of their official acts, but where the
proprietor Of paper Is a member or
Congress he owes a double duty TO his
colleagues to be fair and impartial in
his criticisms Of them. He read the
article In the New York American OF

dignity and thereby had been con-
signed to the political designation OF
MI Hearst's paper

Mr.. Sullivan again was interrupted
hy Mir. Robinson but the speaker ruled
that Mr. Sullivan was In order.
MIR Sullivan referred 20 Mr. Hearst
