the Republican Party, declaring what
had been termed the subserviency OF
Republican Senators was merely an
evidence of harmony between the Pres
ident and his party In Congress. He
took Mr. Tillman to task for having
spoken Of the Ignorant Masses and
having referred 10 them as poor. sim
pie souls"
johnson, he said, had been treated as
he was because he had not the conf
dence of the people. while President
Roosevelt possessed their entirei conf
dence. 1t was, he said. one Of the char
acteristics OF the American government
that the branch which is most bene-
ficient is the one that has the conf
dence of the people.
There Is no subserviency on this side
70 any power on the other" he said.
except to the demands Of the people
and what the Senator calls subservien-
cy is nothing more than harmony with
the wishes of the people"
BY q slip of the tongue, Mr.. Bever-
idge characterized the South Caro-
lima Senator as the ''corn-fed lawyer"
Mr.. Tiliman objected TO that title
but added that he was mighty fond OF
corn bread.
A long review was given by Mr.. Bev-
eridge of Democratic policies and he
declared that a conference had been
hid in this city for the purpose OF
coming to a plan for asking Mr.. Bryan
not to again be a candidate on the
Democratic ticket. but when Mr.. Bryan
came he said. not one of them had
courage to tell him what they had
planned to do.
This statement called forth deniais
from Mr.. Tillman. MIR. McLaurin and
Mr.. Rayner. all of whom declared that
there had never been any idea OF ask
ing Mr.. Bryan not to run on the DEM
acratic ticket.

the galleries were packed long before

Whenever 1t Is announced that the

there Is an extraordinary demand for

Tiliman had a magnificent audience
and was in fine trim for the red hot
attack upon President Roosevelt and
his advisers which he made. Nearly
all the Senatorse were IN their seats.
The Republicans paid the closest at
tentIon from start to finish. They
looked queer at times and many wrig-
gIed in their chairs when Mr.. Tillman
referred to newspaper statements that
President Roosevelt and his advisers
were framing bills which the execu-
tive would demand shall be passed this
session.
II am going to watch and see." the
