ISOLATION Because of Its Demand
for Free Wood Pulp.

vehement speech delivered here today

upon the insurgents in Congress, and also

citation of America, in asking for free
wood pulp, was the strongest organized
interest that by persuasion, clamor and
threats sought to force it's demands
from an American legislature
He also asserted that 'its alternative. If
that demand should not be granted, was
the destruction of the republican party.
He insisted that if the republican party
welded TO the associations demand it
would be unworthy of the confidence OF
the people.
Referring to the insurgents, Mr.. Ken
nedy said:
"Who is to officially interpret for the
republican party it's platform? Cum
minis and La Toilette and Dolliver, who
thought Iowa and Wisconsin had de-
serted the standard of protection be
cause Herman Ridder and his newspaper
said so? Or is it to be interpreted by
the majority of republican representa-
tiyes and senators who still belong in
fact as we'll as in name to the party
of Lincoln, Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft?"

Although it was demonstrated by prac-
teal trial on the battleship Indiana that
what is known as the ship brake will
undoubtedly stop vessel In somewhat
less time than where it is not employed,
the device has been found unsuitable for
naval usage.
The naval board which conducted the
test holds that the brake. which re-
sembles barndoor on either side of the
ship would soon become clogged with
barnacles unless constantly employed. 1t
would also increase the danger from
torpedo attacks. be a grave menace in
