shat Under the rules OF the House
he could not answer the gentleman in

charges but by requesting the commit
tee to Immediately report back this

nolitical manipuators and the betrayal
of the public interest III the Legislation
If this and the preceding session. his
arraienment of President TAFT ana the
rcactionary leaders Of both houses was
the strongest ever heard in the Senate.
The senator's speech was i'll support OF
tariff commission and, necessarily,
dealt with the tariff law and methods
nursued in its preparation with the
greatest possible frankness. VI the
Aldrich tariff act, Senator Deliver
said:
am through with it, | shall stand
here and fight it. But will do it as 4
republican. | don't care for any po-
litical fate; | have toiled for the public
for twenty-five years, and do not pro
nose that my remaining years shall be
given up 10 a dull consent to these con
Spiracies which would rob the people lo
multiply private wealth.
This speech removes all possibility OF
restoring harmony between the Presi-
dent and the progressives, but as the
President himself had made this I'M
possible by permitting himself to be-
come a follower OF Senator Aldrlch, II
hardly changes the situation.
