In a scathing a~raignment IN which
he declared thu, those insurgents who
had failed 10 vote 20 oust Speaker Can
non on the final roll call in the rules
fight had been whipped into line"
supplemented by an assertion that the
Taft Administration had failed to make
good, Representative a. Mitchell Palm
er Democrat. Of Pennsylvania, created
stir in the House this afternoon.
Mr.. Palmer reminded the Republicans
that there was now emerging from the
Jungles" the greatest insurgent OF all,
who might direct his effective shafts
toward those who had broken party
faith.
Although he did not call Clifford Pin
chot by hamc. Mr.. Palmer denounced
the manner Of his dismissal from the
service and the way in which he had
been hailed before Congressional
committee as a co-defendant with the
known eIemy OF a policy he Is sup
posed TO represent.
Whipped Into Line
Now that the insurgents have been
whipped into line by the refusal Of pap
and by the most gigantic blur i'm the
history or this body" Mr.. Palmer ex-
claimed, "the men of independent
thought and action have been corraIled
into the party caucus and made 10
promise 20 be good.
What has become OF the pledges Of
the Republican platform The Presi-
dents legislative program started out
bravely TO redeem the party pledges
and the policies which prevailed in the
election OF 1905, but one by one we see
the items Of this program 20 down be-
nsa inc N Nr1.rre- srHH.
TEN which now, unfortunately. controls
the executive as well as the legislative
branch Of this Government.
We have witnessed the spectacle Of
The greatest frleod Of conservation be-
ing hurled from ont the councils OF the
Administration because DE was over
Jealous i'm his support Of the cause TO
which he devoted his life
Pinchot Defended.
I'VE have seen the same faithful pub
lie servant hailed into court before a
Congressional committee and made
co-defeudant with the man who is
recognized by the people as an enemy
of the policy which he personifes. And
we read In the public press that the
President has abandoned all but one
cf his conservation bills, and even the
remnant Is no longer seriously con-
Sidered by those In authority here"
Mr.. Palmer paid his respects next 10
