Before His Nomination.

Senator Carter replied that in public
address delivered in the city of MinneapO-
lis before the nomination the president
had in clear. distinct and unequVOcal
terms announced his position upon the
subject and likewise upon necessary anti
trust prosecutions and legislation
In reply. Senator Bailey said he did
not know the president had discussed the
railroad question in his speech in Mime
aDOliS. but he had examined the preSi-
dents public messages prior to the cleo
ton and had found nothing of that char
acter in them.
Senator Bailey said that the presidents
secretary had written to the editor of
publication known as Freight in the
summer of 1904. declaring that in his LET
ter of acceptance the president would
speak out on the railroad question. He
said the presidents promises had not
been redeemed. Continuing. he said:

AS to "Matchless Courage"

Taking up a statement made by Senator
Carter that the president had during his
campaign for the presidency displayed
n.atchess courage in opposing the rail
road trust Mr.. Bailey said in that re-

and myself What will the senate say
when tell the senator from Montana
that in his messag es in 1902 and 1903 the
president was as silent as the grave upon
the question of regulating the railroads;
that standing in the presence of the
American people, pending the great con-
test. of 1904 he spoke never a word in its
avOr. either in his letter of acceptance or
in his speech of acceptance.
only after his election in 1904 did he
challenge the railroad powers in mortal
combat Did the senator from Montana

Meeting With Moody.

On April 10 Mr., Chandler had advised
that he (Mr Tillman) and Mr. Bailey
see the attorney general Consequently
they had met that Official on the 18th
finding themselves in perfect accord with
him except as to a small difference in
the matter of injunction
There was absolute accord from the
first on the proposition that the court re-
view should be limited TO the inquiry
whether the commission had exceeded its
authority or violated the carriers con-
stitutional rights
Mr. Moody had then agreed to supply
the senators with a memoranda OF his
views. and had done so. and we have
the original of it." said Mr.. Tillman.
The next day Mr.. Tillman said that he
had seen Mr.. Moody and had assured him
that Twenty-six Democratic votes could
be secured for the compromise proposed
and told him that ii would be necessary
to get twenty Republican votes. 1t was
understood that we should work together
to get the votes necessary 90 pass the
compromise The attorney general had
expressed doubt of getting enough Re
publican votes assure the acceptance
of the Bailey nOn-suspensiOn prOvisO. but

PLAIN TALK OF
SENATOR BAILEY
President Roosevelt Made of
Clay, and Very Common
Clay at That.
TALKS BIG, THEN WEAKENS
TEXAN TIRED HEARING OF THE
.--s TRON" MAN.

Washington. May Fin one of the bit
terest attacks that has been made upon
President Roosevelt during the debate on
the railroad rate bill. Senator Bailey
charged that the executive had surren-
dered his position advocating IAN effect
i've measure and had abandoned his de-
mands for tariff revision The, Texas sen
ator charged that the presidents arraign-
ment of trusts had been made after his
election, and that before that.tinhe he had
been as silent as the grave" on the sub
Jet Of regulating the railroads The sen
ator closed with this statement:
But let us have no more talk in the
senate and talk in the country about this
iron man: He is clay, and very common
clay at that
The speech was in reply to Senator Car
ter, VINO had defended the president
against criticisms. saying that no one
could charge him with cOwardice In the
course of his remarks Senator Carter re
ferred TO the Democratic party as a party
of negation and nothing more He de-
clared that the party had been frightened
into a chill at the prospect Oft action. He
charged that neither Senators Bailey nor
Rayner in all their congressional careers
had done anything to secure effective rail
road rate legislation

What He Could Have Done.

IF the president has been this heroic
fighter as the senator from Montana
would have us believe, he was YOU know
what he would have done? He would
have summoned the Republican leaders
TO conference from the senate and
house, and he would have said to them
Gentlemen, am not. talking to YOU as
the president Of the United States: [ am
talking to you as Theodore Roosevelt
the Republican. I am talking to YOU as
a Republican. | want to tell You that
happen to have learned that unless Won

Failed to Keep Promise.

Il do not say that the president put it
in his letter and then. when his astute
political advisers told him that the rail
roads would not contribute. that he cut
ii out. I will not say that although there
are many men who will say it. I only put
before the senate and the country the
fact that his secretary said the presi-
dent would speak out, and he did not
speak of ii.
Perhaps these insurance companies
which were contributing the funds OF
widows and orphans to insure his cleo
ton owned so many of those railroad
bonds that they deferred not only the
president but the presidents advisers
from Incorporating in his letter mes
sage OF hospitility against the railroads
preceding his election.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-05-13
Reason for carter's Speech.

When Senator Bailey gained the floor
he charged that the Mantana senator's
ebullitiOnS was due to the fact that he
had not been mentioned by Senator Ray
ner in his speech as one of the president 5
special am basSadors. He defended his
own record on the ground that during his
congressional service his party had been
in power only the first four years. If
during the time the Democrats We're in
the minority he had introduced a bill to
regulate the railroads. the senator said. he
would have been performing act of
buncOmbe. He repeated charges of incon-
Sistency on the part of the president in
the legislative programme, saying that the
absolute rate first cOntended for had
his position on the subject of suspension
of rates pending reversal by the courts.

Mr. President. / love brave man.

United States is both. on occasions, but
ne can give up with much alacrity as
any man who ever went 90 battle, either
civic or political. He fights furiOusly
when it is a physical contest, 1 grant you,
because that is a question of courage as
well as endurance; but he seems to have
no endurance in the political contests
here. Why, he was going to revise the
tariff. and his friends called him off.
and then that great voice that was filling
the nation with a demap for tariff re-
vison suddenly sank into the gentleness
and weakness OF a whisper.
Then he was going to have the rail-
roads regulated. and it was announced
that congress would be. convened i'm extra
ordinary session 20 deal with it. but the
great leaders assembled with the presi-
dent, prayed with him q little while.
and no call was issued for an extraOr-
binary session of congress. He waited
until the regular session and five months
Of that has elapsed and still no IegisIa-
ton. And when we do get a bill. God

At outs with spooner ct al.

Mr.. Chandler quoted the president as
being entirely at outs with the sena-
torial lawyers. including Knox as Well
as SpOOner and Foraker: and that the
chief executive deliberately and with
care stated that he thought there
should be cooperation on the following
basis. namely. an amendment EXPRESS
lY granting a court review, but limiting
il TO two points:
First-An inquiry whether the com
mission had acted beyond its author
ity ultra wires and second. whether it
had violated the constitutional rights
OF the carrier. Mr.. Chandler stated
that the president repeated that he had
reached d final decision that the right
OF review should be thus limited: that
thus far he would go and no further;
that his decision would be unaltera BILE.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-05-13

He then said that he and Mr.. Chand-
Ter had continued their conferences and
on April the ex-senator had gone to
the White House to make a favOra bic
report to the president. On April 8
Mr.. Chandler told him that he had
conferred with Senator Allison asking
HIM to intervene in the conference then
in progress and that the Iowa senator
had agreed TO do so. Later Mr.. Allison
had seen the president.
