Washington, ID. c.. April e5, 1911.
The Canadian reciprocity agree
ment passed the House of Represen-
tatives by a large majority. but not
by strict party vote. Both parties
divided on the proposition. each Con-
gressman being for or against the
measure as he conceived that it
would help or hurt his Congressional
District.
The majority of the North Caro-
lima delegation supported the proposi-
ton. Three of the delegation, how
ever, Messrs. Webb, Doughton, and
Gudger, strongly opposed it. They
made spirited speeches replying TO
the structures made against them, and
others who supported the proposition,
on the part OF Congressman Kitchin.
Congressman Kitchin, in his speech
in support of reciprocity, went out
of his way to make spirited attack
upon Senator Simmons who has an
nounced that he was opposed TO re-
ciprocity.
/ Comment has been heard upor
/ Kitchin's speech, to the effect that he
may have been prompted in his at
tack on Senator Simmons in his de-
| sire to help his brother, Governor
/ Kitchin, in his fight for the Senate
| to succeed Senator Simmons. One
observation made was to the effec
that the purpose of such an attacl
was so apparent that it probabl!
would do Simmons more good thar
/ harm.

Two Notable Cases of Democratic
Inconsistency.

When the bill providing for the
publication of campaign expenses be-
fore the election was being pressed
by the Democratic leaders in the
House, an amendment was offered by
Representative Johnson, of Kansas,
a progressive Republican, providing
that campaign expenses incurred in
primaries as well as at the election
should also be published. This prop
ositon was so fair that it took the
Democrats by surprise and was
adopted before the leaders could or
ganize to oppose it.
Mr.. Johnson had shown how in a
number of Southern Congressional
Districts there was no real fight at
the election between the Democratic
and Republican parties, but that the
real fight to determine who should
be Congressman from certain dis
trict was carried on in the primaries,
and that at these primaries large
amounts of money were spent to get
the nomination, and that after that
not a cent was spent at the election.
There was no answer to this ar
gument, and therefore no one at
| tempted to make an answer, but the
Democratic politicians soon recovered
| themselves sufficiently to re-commit
| the bill, and when the bill appeared
again this amendment had been
stricken out without any reason or
explanation.
The progressive Republicans have
ever since been twitting the Demo
Gratis for their rank and bold incon-
sistency in this matter.
Following this proposition, the
Democratic majority put through a
resolution to pay the members their
twenty cents mileage rake-off and
other important Prerequisites. Mr..
Mann, the minority leader, twitted
the Democrats by charging that they
had been crying loudly for econo-
my, but when it came to determine
their pet perquisites that they voted
themselves exactly the same that the
Republicans had been doing and
which the Democratic leaders had
J been denouncing as extravagant an6
unwarranted.
The Free List Bill.
Following these propositions the
Democratic leaders prepared and pre-
sented what they called free lis
bill. That bill is now under discus
: sion in the House.
: 1t was noticeable that when th'
7 Democrats brought in their free lis
t bill and announced with a flourish o
trumpets that they had included ii
/ this bill only the articles coverin,
; the prime necessities of life tina
were largely used by everybody, AMI
{ especially the articles controlled b.
} the great trusts. In running owe
