Promise and Performance.

In their last state platform. the
Democrats demanded" or favor
ed" seven varieties of what they
call reform" The railroads were
to be strictly regulated, and an anti
pass law enacted; a bank guarantee
measure. like Oklahoma's. was Il
be passed $50 that IL one state bank
breaks all the others may break
with it,: a strict law was to be
enacted providing that no corpora
ton shall hold stock of another cor
poration; a direct primary was
be provided; the initiative and ref
erendum. like oregon's. were to be
introduced; municipal ownership of
public utilities was to be encourage
ed by law; and finally. the ballot
was to have its head taken off.
How many of these seven pro-
missed measures were enacted by
legislature which, in the words of
Ex--Gov. Thomas. was bound by
every obligation of faith and hon
or" to make them into a law?
Not one.
In 1906. the Republicans. in their
platform, favored seven measures in
the nature of reforms: These were:
A revision and codificauon of the
insurance laws; a local option law;
laws creating a railroad commission
q civil service commission, state
bank examiner. and a state public
accountant; and a strict pure food
Law.
How many of these measures.
thus favored. were enacted by the
succeeding Republican legislature?
Every one.

tween Republican and Democratic
promise and performance.

of a hostile democratic minority and

On Friday evening at west

for Lamar in the oratorical con-

decisive and received the approva

ceived the approval usually accord

The defamation contest on sat

was most closely contested. Inc
readers had made the choicest Sc
lections throughout and most oil
them were trained to the minute.
Again the popular selection came
from Lamar. The audience seemed
delighted from the very first OF
this recitation and the speaker re-
ceiyed frequent bursts OF applause
dur ng the delivery. 1t seemed that
Lamar would again take first How
ever, after celebrating for some
time the committee found that
Ethel Rice of Trinidad had frs,

more honors for the year than Il

through combination with the Dem
ocrats they forced change in the
committee on rules. But he was
not humiliatted. In the midst of
what they thought was their tri-
umph, he defied them. He dared
them to follow the logic of their
policy to its conclusion. by remov-
ing him from ths speakership. But
they did not dare. He challenged
them; but their hearts failed them.
They would not venture to go that
far. Thus he turned their seeming
victory into a triumph for himself
and a vindication.
He stands better before the conn
try for that struggle than he did
before. The whole public sees in
him a true fighter. a man who is
not afraid. one who faces without
flinching the consequences of a
challenge flung into the teeth of his
enemies.

to pay the tribute of their personal
respect. They will have to do so
after congress adjourns and they
return to their homes and their con-
stituonts. They will not be able TO
withhold it from him during the
congressional campaign. They may
tell of their barren victory in fore
ing change in the committee on
rules. But they will have to admit
that they did not dare follow up
their advantage and force his re
tirement. 1t was because they were
afraid. while he was without fear.
1t was BECAUSE they did not dare
take the step called for by their
protests against him as presidin
officer.
They cannot get over this in
the campaign. They cannot avoid
the conclusion either that their
charges against him were untrue or
that they dared not accept In full
the consequences of their combina-
ton with the Demot rats. Their fail
ure was a confession that it was
better that Speaker Cannon should
continue to preside than that any
man should be placed in the speak
er's chair by the combined votes
of insurgents and Democrats.
Since this was their attitude at
the critical moment in the house
OF representatives. how can they
ask the people to take a different
attitude on election day? II coali
ton with the Democrats was not
justified in selecting a speaker. how
can coalition with the Democrats
be justified at the polls? This is
the question the insurgents must
answer during the campaign and or
election day in November; and
this is the position in which tn.
boldness of Speaker Cannon placed
them. when, defying them to do
their utmost. he turned their SEEM
ing victory into a crushing defeat.

REAPPORT|ONMENT BILL
LIKELY TO Be ACTED ON
Plans Considered Would In
crease House Membership,
Perhaps, to 44O.

Chairman Crumpacker of the House
committee on the census is of opinion
that the reapportionment bill will be
taken up at this session of Congress
He is in favor of action now. A ma
jority of the committee is of like mind
It appears to be certain that the men,
bership of the. House will not be re-
tanned at its present figure. 39l. 1t will
be increased, and the number will prob
ably be 435 or 440.
II the membership should be left at
391 thirteen states would lose seats,
some of them one and some Of them two.
The states thus menaced have representa-
ton in the House to the number Of 149.
No bill aimed at those states would be
likely to pass. Moreover, such a bill
could not even get out of committee.
Seven of the states thus threatened have
men on the committee.
e. Dana Durand. director OF the census,
has submitted to the committee two plans
of reapportionment, either Of which can
be effected without robbing any state Of
a member Carrying them out, however,
would add forty y-nine to the present men,
bership Of the House.
prof Walter F. Wilcox of Cornell Uni
yersity, former chief statistician of the
census, has submitted a plan calling for
a membership Of 435. Chairman Crum-
packer was favorably impressed with
Prof WilIcox's suggestion.
He took ii to his hotel to study ii.
Thence it mysteriously disappeared. He
has had to write to Prof. Wilcox for an
other copy.
The committee hopes TO report Q bill
soon after January 5.
