CONGRESSMAN Anthony arrived in
Washington full of FIGHT for the house
organization. During the tariff bill dis
cussion he was loyal to Speaker Can
non. and declared today that he is In
no way inclined to weaken.
when I went home after attending
the special session of congress-, saao
Mr.. Anthony, st made speech to my
people in which I declared that the In
surgents had left the Republican party
and they should either join the Demoe-
racy or organize a party Of their own
This drew upon me the fire OF organs
Of the insurgents. But I stood by my
guns and when the president came
west and explained the situation. be-
gan to notice change In the sentl-
ment in my district and in Kansas.
Later. the speaker delivered mis-
mastery address at Kansas City. and
now I am convinced that the insurgent
movement in Kansas Is dying out.
The people of Kansas are fair minded
and are not Populists, as is sapposed in
some sections Of the east. When the
conditions under which we legislate are
fairly stated to them they are willing
to listen to reason, and in my opinion. a
mere appeal to prejudice will not hold
them long.
Another thing that helps US is the
PROSPEROUS condition of the agricultural
districts. The farmer is getting more
for his product in manufactured arti-
cles now than he ever has in the history
of the country, and he is not looking for
a change in conditions"
