House Rules Despotic.

The third fundamentally employed to
defeat the will of the people is found in
the rules of the house of representatives,.
Our platform points out that the house
of representatives was designed by the
fathers of the constitution. to be the pop
ular branch of our government, respon-
sivc to the public WILL" and adds:
The house of representatives. as con-
trolled in recent years by the Republican
party, has ceased to be a deliberative
and legislative body, responsive to the
will of a majority of the members, but
has come under the absolute domination
Of the speaker, who has entire control of
its deliberations, and powers of legis-
lation.
We have observed with amazement
the popular branch of our federal gov
eminent helpless to obtain either the
consideration or enactment of measures
desired by a majority of its members"
This arraignment is fully justified The
reform Republicans in the house of rep
resentatives, when in the minority in
their own party, are as helpless to OBJ
tain a hearing or to secure vote upon
measure as are the Democrats. In the
recent session of the present congress.
there was a considerable element in the
Republican party favorable to remedial
legislation; but a few leaders, in con-
pressed these members. and thus forced
a real majority i'm the house to submit
to a well organized minority. The Re-
publican national convention, instead of
rebuking this attack upon popular gov
eminent, eulogiZed congress and nomin-
ated as the Republican candidate for
vfce-presdent one of the men who
shared in the responsibility for the
coercion of the house. Our party de-
mands that the house of representatives
shall again become a deliberative body.
controlled by majority of the people s
representatives, and not by the speaker -
and is pledged to adopt "such rules and
regulations to govern the house of rep
resentativeS as will enable a majority
Of its members to direct its deliberations
and control legislation"
Shall the people ruler" They can not
do so unless they can control the house
of representatives, and through their
representatives in the house give
expression to their purposes and
their desires. The Republican party is
committed to the methods pew in vogue

The Gateway to Other Reforms.

Shall the people ruler" Every remedial
measure of a national character must run
the gauntlet of the senate. The presi-
dent may personally incline toward a
reform; the house may consent to it,;
but as long as the senate obstructs the
reform. the people must wait. The pres
icent may heed a popular demand; the
house may yield to public opinion; but as
long as the senate is defiant, the rule of
the people is defeated The. Democratic
platform very properly describes the pop
ular election Of senators as 1.-The gate

plotting interests &c bar the way by the

can the people secure the popular cleo
ton of senator's The smaller parties are
unable to secure this reform: the Repub-
lican party, under its present leadership,
IS resolutely opposed to it; the Democrat
&c party stands for it and has boldly de-
manded it. If 1 am elected to the presi-
dency, those who are elected upon the
ticket with me VIII be. like myself

Personal inclination Not Sufficient.
In his notification speech, the Repub-
hcan candidate, speaking of the cleo
uon or senators by the people, says:
personally, l am inclined to favor it,,
put II is hardly party question" What
is necessary to make this a party ques-
ton? When the Democratic convention

1ects the proposition by a vote of seven
mdorses proposition by unanimous
to one, does it not become an issue be-
tween the parties? Mr. Taft can not re-
move the question from the arena CT pol
lucS by expressing a personal inclination
toward the Democratic position. For
several years he has been connected with
the administration. What has he ever
said or done to bring this question before
the public? What enthusiasm has he
shown in the reformation of the SEN
ate? What influence could he exert in
behalf of a reform which his party has
openly and VIGOROUSLY condemned in it's
convention, and to which he is attached
only by a belated expression of personal
inclination?
