pleaded with the Republicans TO attach
their signatures to it. Not one OF them
responded

My people are for revision said Mr..
Parker yesterday, in explaining his ac-
ton in signing the Democratic petition.
THE newspapers Of my State are urging
that wood pulp and print paper be ad-
mitted duty free. For, that reason I be
lieve the Stevens bill should be passed
and It was for that reason that I signed
Mr.. Williams petition urging the Speaker
To give time for the consideration of the
measure"
