home rule" and yet oppose every meas
ure which gives to communities which
have voted out the saloon the oppor-
tunity to protect themselves. from the
liquor traffic. 1t says:
Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. SherS talk
about being for home rule. Yet these
gentlemen are denouncing every at
tempt made to give effect and force
to the declaration of any community
against the existence of the saloon
Over ninety counties in the state of
Kentucky have voted to prohibit the
sale of liquor within their boundaries.
Yet liquor is sold within their
boundaries by a prostitution of the
rights of men engaged in interstate
commerce. Foreign brewers and for
eign distillers invade this territory
through the railroads and express Of
fees and sell liquor in open defiance
of the law.
Mr. Sherley has been in Congress
and the remedy for this grave abuse
is in Congress, yet he has never said
word, never written line, never
drawn bill to vindicate home rule
against foreign invaders.
Of all hypocrisy in politics, there is
nothing comparable to the hypocrisy
of the men who, in the interest of the
saloon organizations, are talking about
home rule and personal liberty and
civic liberty, and declaring that no
man can be Prohibitionist and re-
main Democrat, and then declaring
at the same time that under local op-
ton they always vote for Prohibition.

African slavery in every part or to

the accursed slavery of the legalized
liquor traffic. This government must
be all wet or all dry All debauched
or all delivered When Chicago was
on fire it was fought block by block,
but Chicago's future demanded the
extinction of the entire fire. Local
option is all right as temporary ex-
pedient, but Missouri's welfare de-
mands the extinction and elimination
of the entire iniquity. Adolphus Busch
was desperately opposed to local OPP
ton until he discovered that it was
his last and only hope, and that it
was the only way to prevent or de-
lay state wide Prohibition.

HOUSE WILL INVESTIGATE
Agrees to Probe Charges Made by
Representative Lilley.
A Submarine Boat Company 10 Ac-
cused of corrupting Men,
bers of Congress.

Washington, Mar. 7-Without dis
cussion or division the house Friday
adopted a resolution brought in by
the committee on rules providing for
the appointment of a committee to
investigate the charges made by Mr..
Lilley to the effect that the Electric
Boat company of New Jersey had en-
gagged in an effort to corruptly in
fiuence members of the house. The
speaker appointed on the committee
Messrs. Boutell, Qllinois); Stevens,
(Minnesota) Olmsted, (Pennsylvania)
Howard, (Georgia) and Broussard,
Uouisiana). The committee is direct
ed to report its recommendations as
speedily as possible. Mr. Lilley was
present when the resolution was
adopted but made no remarks. The
resolution Is sweeping in it's character
and gives the committee authority to
call for the Electric Boat companys
check books and all papers in their
possession which may have any bear
ing on the investigation.
Accompanying the report of the com.
mittee on rules is a copy of Mr.. Lii
leys statement to the committee in
which he charges that the electric
company has for years maintained a
lobby at Washington under its annual
retainer. He charges that large sums
of money have been spent in entertain
ing members of congress, that an at
torney for the company wrote the SEN
ate amendment to the appropriation
bill of 1907 with the intention of pre-
venting competition; that large sums
of money have been contributed by
the company to the campaign funus
of members of congress; that effort
has been made to influence the action
of the navy department, and that since
1893 the efforts of the company have
resulted inNsuppressing competition in
submarine construction and that rep
resentatives of leading newspapers
have been subsidized by the company.
Shortly after the adjournment of the
house, Chairman Boutell got his CO.
terie together and partly organized it.
He said afterward that the organiza-
tion would be completed at meeting
to be held Saturday when the question
of whether to make the committees
sessions public or private would be de-
cided. Report, that Representative
Lilley was greatly incensed by the
action of Speaker Cannon in not max
ing him a member of the committee
and that he had expected to be named
as it's chairman gained circulation and
became a topic of discussion after the
committees assignments had been an
nounced. Mr.. Lilley himself refused
to discuss the situation.

The names of the delegates at large
were presented by Congressman
Nicholas Longworth whose memory
failed after he had started to deliver
prepared speech and he was COM
PEELED to finish by reading from the
manuscript.
Mr.. Longworth was quick to recover
from his embarrassment and was
greeted with hearty applause, at the
conclusion Of his address.
Mention of President Roosevelt's
name like that of Mr.. Taft was re-
ceived with vociferous applause. A
notable ovation was rendered to Con-
gresham Theodore Burton, chairman
of the committee on resolutions who
read the platform, which was adopted
unanimously. The platform endorsed
the policies inaugurated under the adj
ministration of President Roosevelt,

sion of congress, a greater merchant
marine, and an adequate navy, the

Canal the enforcement OF the civil and
political rights of the negro, and that
