Speaker Cannon is not goading him on
to it, as far as anybody has been able
to discern, and as some very big prob
lens are involved in that bill, such
things as in part legaIizing tile boy
colt. Mr.. Littlefie1d is likely to go
very slowly. The President is NOT
likely to send for Mr.. Littlefield, as
he did for Col Pete" Hepburn, and
II he did he would probably get as liz
tie satisfaction as he did some years
ago at the interview above men,
toned.
In the meantime the wise old heads
of the House were getting together
for talks, and. while there has been
nothing final yet they are not dis
posed to favor the legislation provided
for in the civic federation bill For
instance, they reason that it does not
go far enough to suit the enraged
labor leaders, who recently met in
Protest Conference" and IL goes too
far TO suit the manufacturing interests
of the country. that have been bat
Ting with the labor trust for years
and are now exultant because the Su-
preme Court has rendered a decision
nfDI tIa,,
from the demands of labor leaders.
The wise old heads also argue that
desirable as some amendment 70 the
Sherman law TO allow greater freedom
of contract may be, II might be bad
politics to legisIate that way at this
stage of the proceedings, for IL would
enable their opponents TO cry out that
the Republican party is in league with
j. Pierpont Morgan. who got a big
rake off, from the financial, panic.
as even some of the Republican ora
tors in the Senate have been contend
ing. The Steel Trust. with which Mr..
Morgan is identified. has been one Of
the most influential pIeaders for this
modification of the law.
When the bill had been introduced
President Roosevelt Immediately built
fire under Congress by sending an
other special message, reiterating his
desire for this legislation and also for
considerable other legislation. much of
which he was certain of getting. or.
much of which the Congress,
growing somewhat in independence,
had decided to pass. But the fire that
the President built under Congress
was not as hot as some of his previous
fires. 1t was not kindled with infam-
adjectives and fed with invec-
tive. 1t was so much calmer in tone
than the special message of January
81, which advocated the very same
that Wall Street people
threw up their hats, and the Presi-
dents critics have been asserting that
its tone was distinctly a concession
to ]. Pierpont Morgan and the trust
interests. Probably that criticism goes
farther than the facts warrant.
That is not all of the strange hodge
lodge of current congressional politics.
While the Republican Senator's and
were sitting supinely

,uild under them, opining that they
I'D not care whether they passed some
Il those measures or not, although

umped in with the announcement that
the President would give him TWEEN
y or twenty-five Republican votes in
he House he would put them with
he Democratic votes and pass a num-
er Of the bills that the President
rants. He would pass limited anti
Injunction bill. which the labor people
rant, an employers liability bill. and
o on, but would not go into some Of
he Sherman antitrust amendments
7hich the President is believed to
Tant more than anything else.
The Peerless One, William Jennings

pect his presidential nomination

bout the same time and stamped his
K on Mr.. Williams program, at
