tlemen that hold places in this honoraoie | body, seeking to prevent them ever en-
 gazing even in the average and orolhaiy
 avoeations in 1ife."
 Mir Payne said 1t was painfully evident
 that there were "some hrst-termers rom 1 Missouri" who were fearful that Ms souri would be landed permanently on the | republican side, and want to be retsT;ia2, and who felt that unless they could get something demagogic in the Dill they would not be returned Hence" he said, these attacks all along the line are not on the merits of the bill, but simply to out Herod Herod."
 Voclferous applause greeted Champ Clark of Missouri who arose to reply 10 Mr. Payne. He denied the right of MT Payne to lecture the democratic side, and defended the rights of new members to express their opinions. When MT. Clark touched upon the political attitude of Nils souri the democrats again broke out into applauce.f Mir. Payne, he said seemed to think there was some question as to how Missouri was going to vote at the next presidential election. He explained that at the last election 75,000 democrats stayed home because they did not like cer- tain telegram sent from Esopus to the St. Louis convention. These democrats, he declared, were not dead. '"rhey have not moved away" he said. "and they didn' t join the republican party, because Roose- welt only got 1000 more votes than McI<in- ley in 1900"
 Uproar For Bryan.
 The next moment he threw the House in an uproar when he declared that 'on July next we intend to nominate w. J. Bryan for President" The democrats ap- plauded, shrieked and pounded their desks
 and later the republicans in derision
 joined in the demonstration, which lasted for some minutes.
 Continuing, MT. Clark challenged the republicans to name their man. T will bet my head on the proposition" he said, that there are not 10 men on that side that will dare stand up and say who their candidate will be-" Tumultuous dem- ocratic applause and laughter greeted 1 this remark.
 'T can tell you who the gentleman from Illinois is for,' interjected MT. Boutelle l of Illinois, who took up the challenge. You are for Uncle Joe Cannon," sug- | gested MT. Clark. T am for him." replied MT. Boutelle | amid republican applause. You may nominate your Bryan in July but we will elect Cannon in November"
 Some amusement was created when MT. Clark inquired of MT. Boutelle if he was certain that the administration forces would be for Uncle Joe or not
 Every republican in the United States
 will be- said MT. Boutelle.
 "Ah, don't you believe any such stuff as that" said MT. Clark, whose re- tort called forth more democratic ap- plause which broke out again when Mr. Clark inquired of MT. Boutel1e, Were you at the Gridiron dinner here when Roosevelt and Foraker had that fuss?'
 That" replied MT. Boutelle, was simply one of those little ebullitions of spirit that will be entirely forgot ten and every republican in the country will vote for the republic nominee"
 "One lone fisherman" remarked Mir. Clark with a sigh as he took his seat amid the shouts of laughter from tn e democratic side.
 Underwood Supports Bill.
 After this incident the house re- sumed it's normal aspect and MT. Un- derwood, Alabama, supported the Ram dell amendment. He said that no hon. est man ever objected to have his books balanced and that it was only the man who feared discovery that was unWiil- ing to throw the light of day on all his transactions. The orderly transac- | tion of business again was interrupted by the applause and laughter which | followed the offering by MT. Norris, | Nebraska, of an amendment condemn | ing to death by hanging of any mem | Der of congress who shall engage in | the practice of law or who shall de- | liver chautauqua lectures for pay, or | who shall engage in farming or manu- | featuring, or who shall have any occu- patton whatever, who shall patronize 1 any railroad company by riding there | on, or who shall purchase or sell any 1 material to any corporation"
 | The debate on the Randell amend ments was brought to close by MT. | Randell. who challenged any man in | the body favoring the acceptance of | gifts by senators or members from | corporations ito stand up and show his face to these people here,' holding 1 to the crowded galleries. He refef- | red to the remarks of MT. Payne and said: 1 His explanation anywhere else but | on this floor would simply be the uh-
 masking of graft"
 Democrats Applaud and Vote. l MT. Norris withdrew his amendment | The vote then recurring on the Kan | dell amendment relating to the ac-
 ceptance of gifts on division was car l ried 80 to SO. Loud democratic ap- | plause greeted the vote. MT. Moore l Pennsylvania was prompt to call Tor | tellers and messengers were sent out bv both sides to bring in members | The republicans had rallied their forces
 and the amendment was lost SS to lo5 MT. Randell's other amendment pro- hibiting the employment of senators and representatives by public service | corporations caused renewal or the discussion which had engaged the | house for over two hours. MT. Ran dell pleaded with the house to adopt it. He alleged that if any memb ei l went back to his constituents and de
 clared that he had right to serve | such corporations he would be sure | not to be returned.
 1 AS in the case of the previous amend ment MT. Moon voiced his objections to it. and after available members hao
 spoken for or against the amendment it was voted down 56 to S2.
 On account of the small vote MT James made the point of mo quorum. Before a quorum could be secured
 the house at 4:21 p. m. adjourned.
