" AtAAAS0J III
in Western Virginia.
LoODhoIe in the Bill.
He asked Mr.. Foraker if he was 60
ing to vote for the house bill. Mr..
Foraker replied: Il am not"
Tlllman declared the Hepburn bill
had a loophole in it that freight
train might be driven through and
he added:
You will never stop the devilment
until you put some millionaire in Jail
and put the stripes on him."
He said he had asked the interstate
commerce commission to make the
inquiry called for by his resolution
fer the reason that the senate has not
time, and because 1--WE know better
how not to do it than anybody on
Gods green EARTH"
He then proceeded to give the
reasons why he thought the president
could not be depended upon to serve
the interests of the people
Attack on the President.
Mr.. Tillman referred to Former At
torney General Griggs, saying that
dllNl lCAlAAAA6 iAOiiA pAAANN
he had taken the merger cases of the
Northern Securities company against
the attorney general and also referred
to former Secretary Morton.
Speaking of Mr. Morton, Tillman
had said that he resigned from the
navy with the confession of rebates
on him, made by his own mouth, and
.bo ,rooF 1,o poripor ONfar him ~
"He is promoted" Mr.. Tillman con-
tinued, "and made head of the great
insurance organization in New York
which has been the stamping ground
for as dirty a lot of thieves as ever
walked Gods green earth. And they
sent a man with this nice clean record
and put him in charge of these scores
Of handreds of millions, which are
the savings, so to speak, of widows
and orphans, who have policies m
that company.
"Yet here we 60" he went on.
"The White House is immaculate. !
do not doubt Theodore Roosevelts IS
integrity and patriotism, AS l stated
the other day. he is monstrously per-
suaded by some people who get
around him and 'honeyfuggle' him
with nattery. Whatever their meth
DDS may be, he stands by his friends.
He gave Morton a certificate of good
| character"
Mr.. Tillman then referred to a din
ner recently gwen at the White
House to the executive committee OF
the republican national committee
and said: "The president has been
elected nearly a year and half and
never has it been found necessary or
desirable to bring these friends OF
| his, these true and trusted lieutenanta
| In his last race for the presidency, to
| dine with him. The inevitable con-
| clusion in my mind, at least it ought
to be if it is not is that these people
were brought together to confer how
| the money could be raised to help
poor old Mccall out Of the bog into
| which he has sunk, and refund $147.-
! 600 which he stole from the policy
! holders Of the insurance company and
| contributed to the campaign funds
Of the national republican commit
tee. For surely this man Mccall is not
| going to be left in the lurch and run
the risk of bankruptcy or of being
sent to the pen because of the fact
that his love for the republican party
got him into this trouble"
Mr.. Tillmans resolution was adopt
ed without division or opposition.
