TiIIman. when one of the sharpest con-
fiicts of the session occurred between
the two Democratic leaders, standing
elbow to elbow.
The clash came when Mr.. Tillman in
terrupted Mr.. Bailey
An attorney exclusively in the en-
ploy of a railroad might" said Mr..
Tillman, be classed with the other
employees, but the attorney who gets a
pass and does nothing else but watch
juries, round up conventions and do
other little odd jobs, and never gets
any compensation except transporta-
ton for himself and his family. is the
man I was after. I do not know what
the senator thinks about it, but I think
that class has got no business riding
on the railroads at all unless they pay
for it, any more than any other man."

BY this time Mr.. Bailey had become
excited and he replied, there are too
many demagOgues who are always
baking against the lawyers
He did not get an opportunity to fin

demagogues here they must be law
yers, because all the members of this
body are Lawyers except possibly half
a Dozen"
At this juncture the vice president
found it necessary to interfere and to
insist upon the senators addressing the

Mr. Bailey said: The senator from
South Carolina has many admirable quail

obscure his sense of fairness and clear

Gown in-South Carolina against the law
yers. but what he ought to do and nearly

But I have a most infinite contempt
for some of the breed know"
He quoted Jesus characterization of the
LAWYERS as f%hypocrites. ard said the
dirty creatures who run the political
conventions are the men whom he would
shut off from the pass privilege
The conference report was adopted with
