mass meeting in Richmond Market Hal
/ - -r~----~ ~1rS
Judge Alton B. Parker, OF New Yolk
Senator John W. Daniel, Of Virginia,
and Col. Alexander 8. Bacon, of New
YYrk. Senator Rayner presided and
made q brief speech. There was an
overflow meeting. The attendance wa.
between 8, 600 and 5000.
10 his speech Judge Parker said:
"The continuance Of q political par ty
in power with all the Offices under its
control encourages the upbuilding OF
graft and grafters. The careful business
man appoints to responsible position q
man whose past record Is unssssilable 10
every respect. The government should
exercise similar care. Judge Taft ad-
mits that trusts and combinations have
been built up within the past 10 years.
He never tried to stop them. Why did
not the republican party demand revI.
sion OF the tiriff at tho last session
The word revision Ia the plank may
mean cutting the tariff down, but 1t may
also mean building the tariff up. By at
lacking Haskell, Roosevelt wished the
people to get the impression that Has.
kell was the connecting link between the
Standard Oil Company and the demo-
bratic party. The issues this year seem
to mt q great deal more important then
some Of these two-penny things that
have been discussed"
Senator Daniel followed Judge Parker,
and was greeted with mild round OF
applause, when Senator Rsyner intro
duced him as one who would some day
convince the nation that he was worthy
to be president.
In the main body Of his speech the
senator based his theme on the work
Shich had been accomplished and not
accomplished by President Roosevelt.

Bryan. 81 hope" be said, that president
Roosevelt will have 6per game In Africa

his fan1t

Currier had enlarged upon it, it wasn't
his fault.
Representative Lilley of Connecticut, the
worldfamous submarine expert, opposed
the resolution for the twenty-one police
privates. He got a fine rise out of the
House by telling one of his experiences
when he was brand-new member of the
House. He said a man he had seen hang
ing around the Capitol every now and
then came to him and said. MIR. Lilley,
hope you favor the proposed increase to
the employees of the Capitol?''
why" replied Mr.. Lilley, ''are you in
terested? You are not an employe."
''Oh, yes the man replied. Il am a
doorkeeper."
Then why aren't you keeping door?''
asked Mr. Lilley.
Because / can't" the man said in a
somewhat surprised manner; there are
six men on my door already"
Yeas and Nays Demanded.
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader. demanded the yeas and nays on
the proposition to reduce the number of
privates to ten, and he was supported by
the democrats, who had been beaten on a
rising vote.
Mr.. Williams proposition was lost as
was the Bartlett amendment for re-
ductiOn of the committee proposition
from 81 to 10. The committees bill then
went through providing for three officers
and twenty-one men, and the House

MORE CAPITOL POLICE
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE MAKE
MERRY WITH MR.. CAMPBELL.

There was terrible fight in the sub
way leading from the Capitol to the House
office building last Sunday afternoon. and
all the ladylike members are very much
stirred up about it. They arei just as
nervous as can be, and are wondering
what is going to happen next. Some OF
them are afraid to go near the old build
ing after dark, and altogether it's just
too terrible.
All this came out on the floor of the
House yesterday when the committee on
acce UNITS brought up a proposition to add
three officers and twenty-one privates to
the Capitol police force. in order that the
House Office building might be properly
patrolied. OF course, there was trouble
Immediately. John Sharp Williams and a
number Of other economical democrats
who don't expect any Of this additional
patronage for themselves climbed to their
feet and paved the air. They talked of
reckless extragagance and kindred things,
and John Sharp offered an amendment
cutting the proposed addition to ten pri-
Yates and three officers.
This made Representative Currier OF
New Hampshire, who was in charge OF
the committee proposition, very cross, and
Mr.. Currier proceeded to tell why so many
men were needed. He mentioned the fight
of last Sunday afternoon in the subway,
and declared that the House office build
ing on that day had been just chock full
of roughs toughs, thugs and other va
rieties of common and disOrderly people.
And when some members expressed some
surprise and even disbelief, Mr.. Currier
called on Representative Campbell of
Kansas, perfectly truthful person, to
substantiate his allegations.
Mr. Campbell's Narrative.
Mr.. Campbell arose amid bowls of
laughter. the House beginning to feel
somewhat hilarious, as a result of Mr..
Curriers' remarks. Mr.. Campbell told a
thrilling tale of woe. He had been forced
to break one Of the commandments last
Sunday. he said-and in response to cries
of (Which one," mentioned it was that
relating to labor-and had gone to his
room in the office building. A little bit
later he heard noise as of the Empire
state express going down the corridor, the
door of his room was thrown open and in
skated a dozen or. more children, from
seven to twelve years OF age They
treated Mr.. Campbell with scant respect
He said SO himself. They Skated around
the big table in his room and finally one
of the. little ones stopped at his desk
caught hold of his hand and asked "Who
are yOu!
II am Mr. Campbell of Kansas" Mr.
Campbell of Kansas replied.
Il don't want to know your name,' said
the kid. Are you a clerk or just
janitor?'
And after this the children skated
around the table some more, and finally
left Mr.. Campbell in a condition of nerv-
Gus prostration.
Mr.. Mann of Illinois. the great objector
wanted to know of Mr.. Campbell if these
children were the "roughs. toughs and
thugs" mentioned by Mr.. Currier. But
Mr. Campbell didn't know. He had told
Nh Currier his experience, and if Mr.
