and fame unparalleled in the legis-
lative history of this or any other
state.
The people Of the west may well
ask, what manner of man is this that
has accomplished these things in a
state sunk to low level of degraded
and corrupt politics. The true
American makes answers in a few
words: Woodrow Wilson is man of
the people. AS their spokesman he
is honest and brave-not a drop of
coward blood flows in his veins. His
thought is mature, his program is
definite. He believes in the people,
cause with all faith. He is ready to
fight their battles without fear.
But even that does not describe
his tremendous power for good We
get glimpse of it when we repeat
what the late Chief Justice Fuller,
of the supreme court of the United
States, said Of Samuel J. Tilden:
"Since the days of Jefferson and
Franklin the country has not had a
statesman whose pen could delineate
so accurately principle, policy, a
line of conduct"
What the people need" continues
the Chief Justice, "is somebody who
can tell them with accuracy and sim
plicity just what they themselves
; think"
These words are as true of Wood
row Wilson today as they were true
of another great democrat thirty
years ago. 1t was Woodrow Wilson
power to give voice to the thoughts
and wishes of the people of New Jer-
, sey that has wrought such wonders
of progress for the people themselves.
The new political era that has dawn
ed in New Jersey is an era of the
common people, achieved through
one who was able to voice their will
The reforms that have been set afoot,
the moral and civic progress that has
transformed, almost TRANSPORTED this
state, are all of the common people
They did not know their own power
until Woodrow Wilson spoke for
them. And in this month of May he
will speak for the common people in
the west-irrespective of parties and
creeds. And they will acclaim Wood
row Wilson as leader.-Trenton,. N
j., True American.

A worldwide financial boycott
against the states of North Carolina
and Mississippi has been started by
the stock exchange of New York and
London in an effort to force them to
make good the bonds they issued just
after the war and on which interest
long ago was defaulted. Appeals to
the honor of the states having failed.
financiers now propose to make it
impossible for them to market their
new bond issues.

FREE LIST BILL PASSED.
Twenty-four Republicans Join Demo-
Gratis in Vote for Measure.

The farmers free list tariff bill
framed by the democrats as an Off
set to the alleged detriment of the
Canadian reciprocity treaty to agri-
cultural interests was passed by the
house of representatives last week
! by vote of 236 to 100.
The bill had the solid support of
the democrats and in addition won
the votes of twenty-four republicans.
The measure was stubbornly
fought by Congressman Mann and
Cannon and other standpatters, who
offered more than $50 amendments
in an attempt to transform the bill.
But the democrats by steam roller
tactics swept every amendment aside
and put the bill through in the shape
: it came from the ways and means
committee.
| The republicans who voted for the
bill were:
Minnesota Anderson, Davis, Mil
Ter, Lindbergh, STEVENSON and VOL
stead.
Kansas - Madison, Murdoch, An
thony, and Jackson.
North Dakota-Hanna and Hell
geson.
California-kent
Wisconsin-Kopp, Lenroot, Mel
son and Morse.
Oregon-Lafferty
Washing on-Lafollette and War
burton.
Oklahoma-Morgan
Nebraska-Norris.
Nevada-Roberts.
New York-Akin.
Most of the republicans are recog-
nized progressives, but Anthony, OF
Kansas, and Morgan, of Oklahoma
are, or at least always have been
rock ribbed standpatters. Akin was
elected as a democrat, but was dis
owned by his party as being two i'll
dependent and now classes himself
as a progressive republican. Berger.
the Wisconsin socialist voted for
the bill.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where the republican old guard is
determined that it shall not pass,
come what may. All the friends of
the Payne-Aldrich law will be rallied
to oppose this democratic attempt
to open up the tariff revision pro-
gram.
The prospect is that the standpat-
tiers will be aided in this case by a
lack of that perfect democratic CO.
hesion in the senate which in the
! house achieved the triumph last
week.
| The entire session of the house
was given over to the discussion OF
the farmers free list. From the out
set it was a contest on the part Of
republicans and democrats to "put
the other side in hole" Both sue
ceeded.
The democrats goaded the repub-
iicans into advocating a removal of
the protective tax on about $50 arti-
cles used by farmers which were not
| specially mentioned in the bill but
which the republicans had never be-
fore proposed to admit duty free.
The republicans put the demo-
Gratis on record as preventing these
additions to their free list.
Each side believes that it has
spiked one of the guns the other will
use in 1912.
With Congressman Alexander, of
Missouri, in the chair ruling all of
Mann's rapid fire amendments out
of order the democrats showed they
knew how to run the steam roller
with all the ease and deadly effect
that characterized the republican
regime.
The lamentation of the republic
cans over such scandalous conduct
were equally as pathetic as any Of
the democrats sent up when Car
Cannon was in the chair. In fact,
Uncle Joe did most of the wailing, a
circumstance which only aroused the
derision of the democrats and led to
many acrimonious encounters as the
roller rolled on.
