Message Defended In House.

message Defended In House.
On both sides OF. the chamber last
week speeches We're made in support
of the policies advocated in the special
message of the president Townsend,
the Michigan Republican whose name
was connected with the rate bill, start
ed the ball with a review of antitrust
and railroad legislation and endeavored
to show that these were not response
BILE for the panic and that the Demo
Gratis did not initiate the policies of the
administration.
Bourke Cochran Of New York, speak
ing for the opposition party, held that
the elements of progress in the gov
ernment today had their source in the
Democracy. Nevertheless he eulogized
the president as crusader and "the
most heroic figure in the history of
the American government" Then.
amid thunderous applause on the Dem
ocratic side, he announced his allegiance
to Bryan as the Democratic. candidate
for president. Cochran assailed bit
terly the course pursued by the wealthy
men who had tried to place on the
president blame for the panic merely
because he had talked about enforcing
the law impartially against malefac-
tors. He was glad the president had
accepted their challenge
Hepburn of Iowa, one of the fore
most Republican leaders, closed the de-
bate, saying that he was as ardent as
Cochran in his approval of the mes
sage and that the American people
'sstand behind him in everything he
has done The Presidents only crit
les, he continued. ''are the malefactors
he has exposed and their apologists.'
He didn't believe tlat anything would
be done hy th;s cosgress TO clothe the
president with tte Desired power to
put his views n Wactice Replying

Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the tariff ques
tion, Insists that residents of the United
States should be permitted to buy home
made goods at home at as low price as
the foreigner can buy American-made
goods abroad. He also insists that cur
government should be by and for the pso-
pie as whole, rabher than by and for the
trusts, and administered in the interest of
few benefciaries of the trust system. He
believes that national legislation for the
purpose of better regulation and control Of
interstate commerce and common carriers
should supplements state legislation, and
not be a substitute for state legislation
