President elect Taft and oth- CTS whom MT. Rainey. on former oc- casion, had made objects of his attack. MT. Rainey. he said. had furnished no proofs of wrong In the purchase of the Panama Canal franchise. but instead had conjured up wrongs and buttressed them with islander and falsehood, thereby placing himself on a level with the scurvy politician. He challenged MT Rainey to get from be- hind the. protection afforded him by the legislation of the United States and rules of the House and make his charges In the open,
 MT Lowering (Mass.) joined in the discussion and insisted that MT. Rainey had proven nothjRx.
