TRACE OF SPEECH LOST.
Senator Mccumber Has Annoying Ex-
perienee With Copies Of Tariff Ad-
dress.

That there's many a slip tWiXt the
cup and the lip is being impressed on
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
in an irritating way.
Once upon time-last summer. to
be exact-Senator McCumber voted in
| favor of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
after supporting it on the floor of the
Senate. There were some persons out
| in his state who criticised his course.
and the senator made an opportunity
to talk on the new tariff act and justi-
| fly his support of it. That was before
| the Civic Club of the University of
North Dakota, at Grand Forks, last
| fall.
| Ever since that speech was delivered
| Senator McCumber has been attempt
ing-and attempting hard, too--to get
copies of that speech into the hands of
his constituents 1t was a careful
study of the tariff law and of the rca-
sons which led him to support it. But
there were slips and slips, and now
there are reports that the senator's
patience is about exhausted.
OF copies of the address $4,000 prints
were ordered: and these were to be
sent to the senator's office here for
distribution, as he has clerical help
There to handle that volume of corre-
spondence.
| Not a single one of the $4,000 copies
has vet started for the hands of SEN
ator McCumber's constituents, and. ac-
tcordirg, to present indications none
will get started for some time.
The first batch of $4,000 copies of the
speech was started for Washington
from North Dakota early in Decem-
| Der. A switchmen's strike however.
occupied the attention of the railroads
of the northwest about the time the
speech prints were to receive atten-
ltiCn. The speech was literally side
tracked for days: and then it finally
was started for this city. There were
snow and sleet storms to delay the
transporting. but it was on its way
and that was cheering.
Finally, the 25,600 copies reached
this city and were unloaded at local
freight shed. At last. apparently. the
sending out of the tariff defense was
to begin. ...
But the morning that the sending
was 70 be started, fire destroyed the
freight shed and incidentally the 2o'ooo
copies of the speech.
There are $4,000 more copies some
where or the road between North Da-
kota and the National Capital. But
between the switchmen's strike and
the billiards. in the middle west, trace
of that shipment has been lost ana
the transportation men are making no
promises as to when it will turn up
