Washington, May with view
of learning all the facts upon which
Attorney General Wickersham bases
the investigation of an alleged pool
to raise the price Of cotton now in
progress in New York and New Or

press the price of cotton in order to
file May contracts. The resolution
states the names of James A. Patten,
Frank B. Hayne, VIM. P Brown and
Eugene Scales as having been charg-
ed with favoring a pool to advance
the price. 1t requires the attorney
general to tell whether he instituted
an investigation of any pool to de-
press the price.
Mr.. Craig wants to know whether
the machinery of the government is
being used to depress the price of
cotton.

The Cautious Kind.

Before the customer paid his bill the
hotel stenographer tore several pages
out of her notebook and handed them
to him. "Only the notes of his let
ters," she said TO the next customer.
"He is one of the cautious kind. There
are not many like him. About once in
six months somebody comes along who
keeps such watchful eye on his cor
respondence that he won't even let a
stenographer keep his notes. OF course
it is nothing to us. and we always give
them up when asked to. l don't know
what the cautious folk do with them.
Destroy them. maybe. Anyhow, there
is no record of foolish utterances left
in the stenographer's books."-New

much depression of spirit, that she

THEIR FIRST DEMOCRATIC UOTE

/ high prices, He said that possibly
his committee might find that some
Trust was arbitrarily and unneces-
sarily increasing prices unlawfully,
and if such proved to be the case
some steps would be taken to punish
! it.
And right there hope of relief
from the Republican party died in
the hearts of thousands of Republi-
cans in the Fourteenth District, and
the following Tuesday they for the
first time in all their lives voted the
Democratic ticket as a protest against
a policy which has already made the
conditions of life more difficult, and
which threatens serious injury to the
industrial and commercial develop
ment of the Commonwealth and of the
nation.
Senator Lodge. as chairman of the
committee investigating high prices.
had authoritatively declared that they
need expect no relief by tariff legis
lation. by reciprocity treaties, by any
legislation that in any way might dis
turb in the slightest degree this Aid
rich Act.
And these men knew that Senator
Lodge spoke with the authority of the
administration behind him; that what
he said would rule legislation in
Washington unless a protest was
made that should so startle these
leaders that they would wake up to
actual conditions, to conditions that
are not merely local in the Fourteenth
District, but are equally as potent all
over the United States.
When the votes were counted. a
Republican stronghold had fallen and
majority of $4,000 was overturned,
and an adverse majority of nearly
5000 had taken its place.
What does this mean? If asked
to pick out a typical protective Con-
gressional district the Fourteenth
Congressional District of Massachu-
sets would be selected. 1t is in the
heart of the manufacturing district
of Massachusetts. Its industries are
very important and greatly diversified.
The big cordage works and worsted
mills of Plymouth, the vast shoe in
dustry of Brockton and adjoining
towns, the cotton and yarn mills of
Taunton, where are also located loom
works, silver work, famous the world
over, vast stove foundries, copper
works, printing press establishments;
the jewelry business in Attleboro and
Mansfield, brick-making, Matchmaking
and other industries-all have protec-
ton. On Cape Cod and in the Old
Colony, the farmers, and cranberry
raisers, and the fishermen, with the
sailors, make up a district where pro
lection has been idealized for gen
erations."
But when the votes were counted
in the recent election, with the tar
iff' as the paramount issue, this pro
tective republican stronghold had
fallen.

1t is not the insurgents who are
wrecking the Republican party; it is
the Interests" this party represents
and stands for. These interests in
their Commanding greed, and in their
fancied security, played the tariff rob
berry business a bit too strong, and
now there is q revolt in their own
ranks and a revolution all over the

Dudley Holman, who managed
"The Foss Campaign" in Massachu-
setts, in a magazine article. writing
of Congressional district heretofore
strongly republican, says:
"The people of that district embrac-
ing the Old Colony of histo rio times
are highly educated, intelligent and
sensible people. They are hard
headed. right-thinking men, not easily
swayed Thousands of them voted
for the first time in a long life the
Democratic ticket, for they had ar
rived at a verdict. They have for
number of years watched with much
anxiety the trend towards extreme
and unnecessary protection. They
had demanded a revision downward
in order that the burdens might be
lessened. They were disappointed in
the Aldrich Act which they character
lied as an infamous betrayal Of the
Republican leaders at Washington of
the solemn pledges made the year
before. They saw that the Stand Pat
element had full control of legislation.
They realized that the protective
game had been overplayed; so much
SO that they feared that the people
would rise in their wrath, and sweep
every vestige of protection off the
Statute books. They had demanded
Reciprocity and received Retaliation.
They saw no hope of relief unless an
emphatic protest was made
And they made that protest.
"The Aldrich Act bears as heavily
upon them as it does on the people
anywhere in the country. They are
confronted with the same high prices
They saw the door of relief closed
against them by the substitution of
retaliation for Reciprocity, and they
rebelled.
They saw the rights of the great
masses of the people surrendered to
the selfish demands of the few. They
saw that the interests We're all pow
erful in shaping legislation favorable
10 themselves, and regardless of the
unnecessary taxation that legislation
imposed on the people The rising
prices filled them with dismay. and
with stationary incomes they looked
to the future with anxiety and gloomy
misgivings.
Senator Lodge, as chairman of the
committee to investigate the cause of
these high prices, came into the dis
trict to stump in defense of the Aid
rich Act and he declared without the
slightest equivocation that the tariff
had absolutely nothing to do with
