Democrats .3aved Reciprocity

with all the influence and patronage
a MS great office, he could not muster
3 majority OF house Republicans for reel
pyoclty In either the siNty-first or the
siNty-second congresses. After we pulled
him out OF the hole in the slNty-tirst
congress he wrote a letter OF thanks to
SIR. McCan Of Massachusetts, and the
Republicans and not word Of thanks to
Ihe Democrats.
When we repeated the performance or
pulling him out Of the hole in the sixty
second congress he did divide the thanks
between the Democrats and Republicans.
That was after I and other Democrats
had expressed our opinion with consider
able force and oluntnesS about his letter
of thanks 10 Mr., Mccall.
The president says that we didn't play
politics about reciprocity, but that we did
play politics about the tariff. The only
politics we played was TO keep faith with
the people and 10 redeem the promises
made in order 10 win the election In
1910. which is the best and noolest sort
OF politics. II any politics was played
on reciprocity the president himsel!
played H-personally at that.
He seems 10 think that We ought 10
have adjourned as soon as reciprocity
was disposed of-that Is. he seems 10
think that congress is composed OF lot

visable. He will not deny that state

Walter G. Tuttle urged that n loving
cup. a silver service. an oil painting or
some other testimonial be presented to
the president on the occasion OF his visit

that would accrue TO the state would
more than repay the contributors. Simon
Bamberger and John Dern both spoke
against the suggestion. declaring that II
Nibley the suggestion was referred 10

Of hours be reserved for the president in
which he might enjoy game Of golf.

was one on which il was fit 10 devise
a plan OF entertainment for President
Thursday, October s. The governor sug-
gested that perhaps Senator Smoot might
give the meeting additional light on the
plans OF the president.
Early in the days OF the extra ses-
sion OF congress- said Senator Smoot
when we thought that congress would
adjourn early in June, the president made
public some OF his plans for a tour Of the
west during the summer. We invited the
president 10 come to Utah, and l sug-
gested TO him that 1t would be pleasant
for him TO come to Utah at time when
the old folks OF the state were having
and address them. The president was
quite taken with the suggestion and ex-
pressed desire TO meet and talk with
the people over seventy In the state.

nesses and | have tried 20 repay them SO
far as opportunity has served; He Is as
a rule most aniable gentleman. but
at this time he seems TO have been In
bad temper. because he sees defeat star

NV observation and experience prove
to my mind that Senator La Toilette

Of themselves. So | leave them out or

Galveston. June with the ambu-
lances filed to capacity and private con-
veyances pressed into service TO carry
the sick and footsore. the first separate
brigade OF four thousand men, Genera,
A. Mills commanding. struck camp al
the ffty-mle point on its five hundred
mile hike from Galveston to Houston and
return. Three hundred men were pros
trated.
With the tempera ture registering from
81 to 1O6. the column of troops was
stretched over line Of three miles, when
ordinarily the brigade would march in a
one mile line.
Men fell along the route bleeding AZ
the nose. and others fell in convulsions
but the hike was pressed on. with the
thermometer registering higher than II
ever has at this season OF the year In
the history Of Texas. The powdered
limestone macadamized roads gave forth
clouds Of dust. which stifed the parched
throats OF the soldiers. who did not give
up until they fell or were pulled from
the ranks by the surgeons and hospital
corps men.
At times more than one-half of the
four-mile column was out OF line.
Nearly a thousand of the coast artillery
men saw service in the Spanish -Ameri-
can and Philippine campaigns. but they
declared their experiences in these cam
paigns were not 10 be compared with this
hike.
The railroad water tanks between Gal
weston and Houston were depended upon
TO supply water for the troops. but the
facilities were so inadequate that men
were forced TO stand In line for hours
before all of them could be served They
broke ranks and wandered about the
farms seeking water. and in many in
stances emptied cisterns TO which the
owners directed them.

Foreian Bidders Cast Down.

The prospect of the contracts coming
10 the United States was foreshadowed
in November. 1909. when the Argentine
Naval Commission met In London and
the American, British, German and other
tenders were forwarded TO Buenos Ayres.
The German government was said to
have offered the German shipyards a
bonus Of ID per cent TO enable them TO
underbid their British competitors. The
British builders were much cast down.
When II was announced that the Ameri-
can wards had captured the prize great
envy was felt in England and Germany.
No shipbuilding contract ever created
more interest than that signed a year
ago last February by Rear Admiral
Bowles. n. S. n. (retired), and the Argen-
tine Naval Commissioner, Admiral Gar
cia. Admiral Bowles gave out an inter
vtew AT the Piccadilly Hotel. in London.
