Mr.. James of New York, accused the
president of taking the platform of the
Democratic party, that bears the
bloody stain of Bryan's faithful feet
and holding it up to the people of the
country. He cared not how much II
was said that the Democrats were fol-
lowing the president. He knew that
the soldiers of, the United States fol-
lowed the president galantly at San
Juan Hill. but" he added, mo more
sir, than the Democracy will follow him
when he charges the Herrimans, the
Vanderbilts. the Cassatts and the Hills
in this country of wealth.
The Democrats applauded Mr.. Heflln
of Alabama when he said that Will
lam j. Bryan, the Daniel of Democ .
racy, has advocated the present legis-
lation before the people of the country.
In characteristic speech, Mr. Cages
of Tennessee, who was the sole Demo-
crat who voted with the Republicans
on the adoption of the rule said he did
so because he found them right on the
question, even though they gritted
their teeth after having been legged
on by the president who applied CATO

Freight Rates Regulation

Freight Rates Regulation
WASHINGTON, Feb. S-The house
today again met an hour earlier than
usual, the subject of the regulation Of
freight rates still being under consid-
Grafton to the exclusion of all other
business.
TOdays discussion was opened by
Mr.. Thayer of Massachusetts, who
congratulated the president, the Re-
publcans and the majority of the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce for adopting what he declared
to be a peculiarly Democratic measure.
After characterizing the Hepburn bill
as being also a Democratic measure
he charged that it had been pulled
down at the instance of the president
as got meeting with his appreciation.
The Hepburn BILL he said, no more re-
sembed the Townsend bill, which rep
resented the position of the admins
tration, than jack rabbit does q race
horse.
Mr. Esch of Wisconsin,. who assisted
in framing the Townsend bill, summed
up the arguments for and against that
bill UP to the present time. Some, he
said, had regarded it as the most i'm
portant legislation since the rebellion,
while other had contended it amounted
TO nothing. Such extreme views he
held to be indicative of the fact that
the bill was what it was claimed to
be-a compromise.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, ridiculed the
Democrats for their claim to credit for
rate legislation. He provoked laughter
when he declared that following our
tonight where we camped last
night, and begging to be taken on
board is not new policy or principle
of the Democratic party" The Hearst
bill, he declared was as dead as Julius
Caesar, having been slaughtered by
a Democratic caucus.

sPolLs OF OFFICE ARE
SOME OF THE TROUBLES
That Mr.. Roosevelt Has Encountered
Since He Entered Upon the
Duties OF His Office.
LOCAL POLITICIANS WORRIED
6y What They Consider the lnoppor
tune Remarks of the Secre
tary of War.

Washington, D. G, Oct 23--The
speech OF Secretary ui War Taft at Ak
ron, Saturday night. in which he de-.
nounced corrupt politics, is still the alb
sorbing topic of interest here Its local
application to conditions in Pennsylva-
MIA and by the Philadelphia men who
are fighting the regular organization
eIevates iC to a question of national i'm
portance.
Without doubt the most popular ex-
PLANTATION, and the one which, in the
light of recent political events. appar-
emily has the best backing, is that the
secretary's attitude indicates a purpose
of the Roosevelt administration to
make fight against corrupt state and
municipal organizations all along the
line. 1t is pointed out that President
Roosevelt has found his program of
legislation and reform blocked at many
points by the active and determined OPP
position of senatorial and congression-
al interests that represent the great
state and city organizations.
OF these organizations either the
Bpolls of Office or the support of great
corporate interests are the chief OBJ.
jects The President has been discover
ing ever since he entered the executive
Office that the men who represent these
political machines are the ones who are
constantly finding excuses to oppose his
policies. Having no sympathy with
machine politics on general principles,
and finding it thus standing in the way
of his national progress, 1t is believed
the President has set about to use his
influence and that of his friends in
overcoming the power of the political
machines wherever they exist, and are
using their power to his administra-
tion's embarrassment.

TO Be MORE RIGID
RATE INVESTIGATION INvoLv
ING STANDARD OIL.
Testimony at Cleveland Such as to
Merit the Attention of the Entire
Commission at Washington.

Cleveland o., Oct 23.--Testimony
adduced today before Commissioners
Prouty and Fifer of the interstate com
merce cor; mission. in hearing the
charges Of rate discrimination made by
the Fred G. Clark Oil Co. of Cleveland
and the Waverly Oil Co. of Pennsylva-
MIA against the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railway Co., was OF such
Importance that the members decided
upon more rigid investigation by the
entire commission in Washington in
two weeks.
The Standard Oil Co. was drawn into
the controversy by the complaints and
indirectly charged with the responsible
ity for the discrimination in rates. The
testimony showed that the Standard
has almost q complete monopoly in the
new England oil trade. because Ohio
and Pennsylvania oil producers are un.
able to get pro rata shipments for their
products and are compelled to accept
the arbitrary rates OF the railroad in
question.
1t was intimated by Commissioner
Prouty that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co. has a great deal to do with the
overchargo in shipments to- the New
Haven Railroad Co.'S territory. Com
missioner Prouty said the case may
have bearing on future railway legis-
lation by congress. More testimony
will be heard here Nov. by Commits
sioners Prouty and Fifer.
