en- ort by the action OF Mann, of HI

tanning a point Of order made by Ma

1t was the western and southern
trip made by Taft last fall that eN
hausted the fund
Taft, Tawney, who was in charge
of the bill, explained had made the
trip at the invitation of senator, gov.
ernors Of states and civic organiza-
tions.
Tawney said nine Democratic gov
ernors invited the president to visit
their states. He added that Demo
craic senators from nine states to-
gether with 25 democratic representa-
tives had extended the president the
hospitality of their states and dis
tricts.
rs this southern hospitality?
shouted Tawney, looking toward the
democrats. Can there be meanef
man than he who would invite anoth
ar to- accent his hqspitaitly, ard tier
kicks because he accepts?"
This greatly excited the Democrats
Hardwick, of Georgia, drew from
Tawney the admission that Tafts
secretary had furnished him l'st Of
names of Democrats twho had lac
cepted the presidents hospitality In
he south.
In connection with the use OF
names of Democrats, Bartlett, Of
Georgia. charged that the "presidzn.
has violated both the rules of hospi
tality and decent conduct
Bartlett said he rode in the presi
lcnts car but paid his own fare.
Tawney said three Democratic sen
ators had been guest. Of the presi
dent on his western trip.
Fitzgerald declared that when the
president exhausted the approproa
ton for his travelling expenses h
should have had the strength o.
character either to decline some o.
these invitations or pay his own ex
penses."
Tawney's securing from the White
House the list of Democrats who, at
the request of the people in their
communities, urged the president to
visit them, Fitzgerald said. I'm iu-
cIned to believe that after the fifth
Of last August no Republican COVER
nor desired the president to make
such speeches as those in which he
declared the present tariff law to be
he best ever passed.
The country did not desire to have
the president away from Washington
while congress was in Sc siorh accord
ing to Fitzgerald.
IF gentleman is the guest of the
president, must that fact he reflected
in his vote here upon appropria
tions?' inquired Hardwick, of Geor
gla
Speaker Cannon took the floor anc
defended the president In his desire
to meet the people Of the country.
II would risk my souls salvation,
aid Cannon, that neither in Mis-
souri, nor any other state will there
be found man, woman or child who
would endorse such course as u
being pursued on this floor
Then Mann made his ruling on Ma
cons point of order.
