How many Republican governors in
vited him?' inquired Mr.. FitzgeI aid, or

gia. Missouri, North Carolina, Florida,

with Is Democratic representatives. had

ed Mr. Tawney, looking toward the

man." he asked, than the man who in
vites another to accept his hospitality

Hit him again." interposed Mr.. Stat

BARTLETT DEMANDS NAMES.
Mr.. Bartlett. of Georgia, demanded IN
know what representatives had accepted
the hospitality of the president on that
trip. as stated by Mr.. Tawney. Mr..
Tawney promptly named Mr.. Bartlett and
his colleague, Mr.. Hardwick, OF Georgia.
THAT is not true: that is false" ex-
claimed Mr.. Bartlett. The Georgian add
ell that he did ride in the presidents car,
but paid his own fare.
Mr. Tawney said three Democratic
senators had been the guests Of the
president on his western trip.
The expenses OF this trip will be
justified by the people OF this country.
I care not whether they are Democrats
or Republicans" declared Mr.. Tawney.
Mr.. Fitzgerald declared that when the
president exhausted his appropriation for
travelling expenses he should have
strength of character either TO decline
some Of these invitations or to pay his
own expenses" He denounced the pres
ident's speeches on his trip as more
harmful to the Republican than to the
Democratic party. He criticised as re-
markable proceeding Mr.. Tawney's Sc
curing from the White House list OF
the Democrats who. at the request OF
the people I'm their communities, urged
the president to visit them.
The country did not desire to have the
president away from Washington while
congress was in session, according to
Mr.. Fitzgerald. .
..The president may. think 1t Ia proper
to furnish my name as one who was on
his train" said Representative Bartlett.
..If the president Is satisfied with the
propriety, with the decency of furnishing
the names of myself and my colleague to
the gentleman from Minnesota In his
sneering attack upon what he calls the
hospitality OF the south. that is a matter
for him. But the president has violated
both the rules of hospitality and oil
decent conduct"
IF a gentleman is the guest of the
president, must that fact be reflected In
his vote here on an appropriation in
Guired Mr. Hardwick, Of Georgia.
Speaker Cannon took the floor and de-
tended the president in his desire TO
meet the people of the country.
He said he would be glad to make the
presidents salary 100000 annually, and
he wanted not only the president 10 be
able to travel. but ne said he would
favor a requirement that every member
OF the house should see the country for
which he was to legislate before taking
his seat in congress.
Il would risk my souls salvation" said
Mr.. Cannon. that neither in Missouri
nor any other state viii there be found
a man, woman or child who would In
dorse such a course as is Ueing pursued
on this floor"
Mr. Garrett, Of Tennessee. suggested
that the objection to the appropriation
was that the money had been used by
the president to pay his expenses I'm
