WILSON SAYS HILL IS SUFFERING WITH
 POLITICAL APHASIA
Easy for Statesman to Forget Opponents Name for He Has Also Forgotten Cannon and His Own Record In
 Congress and His Vote Against Income Tax
American People Do Not Intend to Eat Unhuled Rice As Chinese Do-Thousands of American Workers In Cotton Industry Paid Less Than Girls In Belfast Hill Should Travel Less and Think More

ton workers get but s2.50 a week and thousands earn less than $5 a week and thousands less than $6 a week | and this gentleman, who has been 1t | years in Congress, has no message tC give to his constituents except to tel them that they should be thankful be- cause they do not have to eat unhulleG | rice as the Chinese do, or work for cents a day. as the Japanese do..
 That MT. Hill cannot remember my name is not important. Aphasia which is malady that causes men to | forget words and names, is a common complaint with statesmen of the Can non stripe. Some of them cannot re- | member CannOn'S name now. HIT. Hill is one of those. I don't think he has | mentioned Cannon in this campaign He certainly has not mentioned that he always voted as Cannon did. and said Simon wig wag, or Simon thumbs up, or Simon thumbs down when Can | non did.
 MT. Hill also has forgotten his vote | against the income tax amendment and I his two votes against the law to ex- empt voluntary organizations from the | operation of the Sherman act. And he has forgotten his other votes against l labor. He has temporarily forgotten his scheme for money monopoly in the form of a great private bank like
 
 "It is not strange that MT. Hill, whose knack of forgetting things that threaten his job is great, should also have forgotten my name. But I suspect that during the last few weeks MT. Hill has remembered my name. I suspect that he has some- times awakened in the still watches of the night to find himself in a cold sweat of fear, because he has dreamed that his political sins have found him out. that the railroads and the other interests are no longer powerful to pro- tect him, and because he realizes that the American people do not intend to eat unhulled rice. nor to be thankful because they do not.
 Then MT. Hill remembers my name But he goeS>to sleep again, and when he wakes up and sees all those fed eral postmasters hard at work. he for gets his nightmare and resumes his happy belief that statesmen exist on another plane, and resumes his prac- speech, that the Payne-Aldrich bill has not increased the cost of living be- cause a steak can still be bought on Boston & Maine dining car for $1. 10 and plate of bacon and eggs for 60 cents.
 Had MT. Hill written more and travelled less he might perhaps express
 
 I have the greatest difficulty in under standing what he says when he writes s--AAA---- ;, :. trouhle whatever in un- oerstaAding what 1 say when write. AS a4 orator it is of course different I have not been billed as> one of the two greatest orators in Connecticut, as he has, and so I have not been obliged to live up that that representa-: tion on the one hand, or lose it on the other
 Yet I presume that one would soon- CT get the devil to use holy water than MT. Hill to discuss his record in Con- gress in the same hall with me-
 That is because if I have read less I have thought more, and because I nave not spent time in Europe that I should have spent at home. and be- cause l have not labored with the h. terests when should have labored for the people
 MT. Hill may not remember me, but the voters will remember him, Of that he may feel sure"
