An unprecedented situation exists
In regard TO this bill. No measure OF
such Importance has ever been
crowded into congress under similar
circumstances. No mar IN the sen.
ate stands sponsor for this bin. and
none who support II seem to be either
competent or willing to defend It. The
usua proceeding when a bill is of.
fered from a committee is for the
chairman or some member OF the
committee who is placed In charge O..
'he measure to make n statement In
support of It and defend 1t from the
attack of those who oppose It. For
days the Progressive members OF the
senate anxiously inquired II there was
any member Of the committee who de.
sired to speak upon the bill, and at
every turn they were met with the
reply that no one vas ready or do.
sired to speak. Finally when It be.
came evident that the purpose of the
Organization was not to discuss the
measure, but merely to force II TO n
vote simply because Senator AIdricb
n those who were standing with
him felt that by not discussing IL. and
by forcing II to a vote, that there
would be votes enough to carry II
through the senate, tho opponents of
the bill led Off in the discussion. Sen.

n week that was one OF great sig.
n%iiicance In the legislative history OF
the country.
The events show that while the
power OF the great interests Is still
potent In congress II Is weakening
Progressives are elated at the turn
In events, Support of their position
came from unexpected quarters. Such
support is IN admission that the peo.
pie In the country are thinking along
the lines laid down in the Progressive
program and that members Of ION.
gress are beginning to heed the
wishes OF their constituents. While
the result of the gas fight in the SEN
ate was disappointing, 1t was encour,
aging In that 1t was the first time in
years that n matter OF this kind
could get a hearing on the floor Of the
senate by way Of n report from one
of It's committees. This Is encouraging
and shows that in the senate as well
as In the house the influence OF the
people is manifesting itself,
Now for Business.
81 am tired of consulting particular
interests to see whether or not a

favor Of consulting every interest to
see what its argument may be and
want to give justice to every interest.

1t is right. we can convince the people
that It is right and they will be with
us. "-President Taft.
While the house OF representatives
was reaching the climax Of its in
ternecine war over the revision of the
rules. the chief executive OF the ma.
ton and head Of the Republican party
was making this significant declara.
tion.
In this utterance he spoke his W
mind, But It expresses as well the
overwhelming sentiment OF the rank
and file Of the party and of the whole
people of the nation. The battle in
the house was only another expires.
sion OF the same feeling. The presi.
dent is tired. and we are all tired OF
wrangling, evasion. and delay.
And now the Issue OF "Cannonism"
Is overheard. The decks are cleared
for action. Let us have action. The
presidents legislation in fulfllment OF
the pledges OF the party knocks at
the doors of congress. II is up to all
members Of the party there to see that
these pledges are fully kept. Con-
servation, interstate commerce law
amendment, injunction restriction,
postal savings banks. are all on the
program to which the party is bound.
A Republican congress cannot longer
evade responsibility for legislation up
on these major subjects in full com.
pliance with the mandate of the pso-
pie at the polls.
