John Sharp Williams Leads in
Anvil Chorus Against
WatSon'S Bill.
1T is REPUBLICAN GRAFT
THUS THE MISSISSIPPI STATES
MAN cHARACTERiZES THE RE-
CENT MEASURE TO PAY THE
PRESIDENTS TRAVELLING Ex-
PENSES.


Washington, June 15.-Representa-
tive Watson of Indiana has given him
self new fame by going to the relief
of the President in introducing bill
that the Chief Executive of the Unit
ed States shall be allowed annually
$25, 900 for his travelling expenses, to
be paid out upon his certificate solely.
This item was originally in the Sun
day civil bill but was stricken out on
a point of order after a sharp de-
bate.
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader, has made a bitter attack on
the item. He declares 1t to be mere
ly a thinly cloaked campaign contri-
lected at the expense of the tax-pay-
ing public. His contention is that
the President on his trips, paid for
out of the national treasury would
confine is speeches largely to laud-
alton of the Republican party and
Republican policies and that he could
not escape discussion of politics.
This Is all right, in the opinion Of
the Mississippian, but he objects to
any appropriations from the general
fund or the nation for the Denent OF
the party in power.
On a point Of order the item went
by the board, and Mr.. Watson's bill
is the result. 1t probably will pass.
~ x
The House this week finally acceded
to the Senate's desire for a second
conference on the rate bill. Repre-
sentatives Hepburn of Iowa, Sherman
of New York, and Richardson of Al
ALBANIA were named as the House con-
ferees and they will meet with Sen
ators Tillman, Cullom and Elkins to
talk over their differences. The re-
bid, all-sweeping ant-pass plank that
the House conferees insisted upon at
the last conference will not be in EVIL
dence. The storm OF protests that de-
scended on Congress from every quart
er of the country has changed the
minds of those who were In favor of
abolishing the free pass, even where
railway employees were concerned.

Bryan Strong on the Floor.

William j. Bryan at last won on the
floor of the Trans-Mississippi congress
at Kansas City, and the two resolu.
.tions he offered were adopted and be-
came part of that body's record. Mr.
Bryan could not be present in person
to conduct the fight, but there were
others who won ii for him.
Those were mild hammered resolu-
tions offered by Mr.. Bryan. One was
intended to promote the cause of in
ternational arbitration; the other was
against great trusts in the United
States Members of the congress were
thought to be civilized and awake, so
the resolutions should have been re-
ceived with favor.
In the committee the resolutions
were turned down. This was done be-
cause they were offered by Mr.. Bryan
had they been offered by another man,
they would have gone through the COM
mittee without question or hindrance.
There was nothing left except to
fight out the matter on the floor of
the congress. There the resolutions
won, as they should.

of 1857. Calculations were so decid-
eddy upset in the 1906 election, per-
haps. this years figures are not to be
taken as a standard of comparison,
and the results on the face of them, of
fer little significance unless it be the
falling off in the socialist vote and the
increase in the prohibitionist vote.
The prohibitionist vote, total of S.
393 for Allin, was expected, while
some persons even went so far as to
predict his election, but prohibitionists
will make serious mistake if they ex-
pect to count upon this strength in the
near future.
What alarm there may have been
over the tremendous proportionate in
crease in the socialist vote in 1904 as
compared with 1902, is removed.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-11-28
The Socialist Vote in Illinois.

In 1904 there was much concern in
Illinois at the result of the vast in
crease in the socialist vote in this
state This was one of the most as
tonishing factors in the election, and
was followed by many extravagant
socialist claims Figures shown as d
result of the recent state election, rath-
er prove a setback to these socialist
claims, however. and a comparison
may be interesting
OF course there is a falling off in
the vote generally except in the case
of the prohibtionist candidate for
state treasurer, but that was not so
much of party significance as it was
general dissatisfaction among demo-
Gratis as we'll as republicans because of
the predominance of the syllable ski
in the names of the republican and
democratic candidates for state treas
urer. In 1902 the vote for state treas
urer was:
Busse. republican .45O, 695
Duddleston. democrat ..........3 $50. 1926
Nelson, socialist go. .... 2O.167
In 1904 marvellous strength was
shown by the socialists. The vote for
governor of Illinois in 1904 was:
Deneen. republican 49,. $500. 634,O29
Stringer. democrat ...... 324,SS
Collins, socialist ........... 59,062
This showed an increase in the so
cialist vote in two years from 20.167
to 59.O62, more than double, or an in
crease of 2S,S95. Eugene Debs, social
list candidate for president. received in
that year a total vote in Illinois of Co.
225, or over three times as many votes
as cast for the socialist candidate for
state treasurer two years previous.
Socialist exultation was manifest all
over the state. The official canvass of
the vote for state treasurer this fall
shows:
Smulski. republican ....... .....417,544
Piotrowski. democrat .271, s94
McDermut. socialist 80. 49,. 42.0O5
AS compared with the vote for Col.
Inns. socialist candidate for governor in
1904. the 4z.005 votes cast for Nc
Dermut this fall, shows socialist loss
