TELLS OF WORK OF POINDEXTER

i that / sought him out and made his
acquaintance for the purpose of prob
ing his motives and estimating his
sincerity. / sum up the result OF my
observations by saying that he is a
true reformer and true man of the
people.
! Mr.. Poindexter mas developed a
remarkable influence in the house
during his brief sojourn at Washing
ton. He is a member of the so-called
| insurgent wing of the Republican
party. He is accused by his party of
being a traitor to the pledges of the
republicans. This is not true.
| There is not one of these
progressive Republicans who is a
traitor. They stand for everything
that is good and pure in national
| legislation and in political work.
They demand a change in the house
rules which will make it impossible
for the speaker to hold despotic pow
er. For this they are termed insur-
gents.
These progressives stood for an
impartial investigation of both
parties to the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy, and not an investigation
that would simply approve of the
presidents numerous indications.
They said, in the language of Mr..
Poindexter, eff there is to be an in
Yestigation, let us have real and
honest investigation and let the
parties to the controversy stand on
their own merits. We do not want
committee appointed whose sole
purpose will be to issue findings
as per instructions. Because these
progressive Republicans stand for
this kind of investigation, they are
branded as traitors to their party and
enemies to the administration And
why? Because Mr.. Taft, the presi-
dent of the United States, has al
ready indicated Mr.. Ballinger and
declared that he had been guilty of
committing no wrong, and if the
house committee on investigation
should find against Mr.. Ballinger,
the president of the United States
would be totally discredited for the
remainder of his presidential term,
and this would very possibly be fatal
to the Republican party. Therefore,
Republicans are asked to place party
above right, to. exonerate Mr. Balm
ger no matter what wrongs he has
been guilty of, simply. because the
president has already indicated him.
/ admire Mr.. Poindexter AMI his
colleagues for their stand. He dared
to sacrifice the support of his party,
with whom today he stands entirely
discredited, for the sake of doing
what he thought was right and he is
