DEMOCRACY HURT
BY NEW QUARREL
Leader Underwoods Attack on Ollie James Increases
Trouble Causedby Criticism of William
J. Bryan.

When Representative Underwood of
Alabama, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, leader of the
House, got up on the floor the other
day and charged Representative Ollie
James of Kentucky with playing to
the galleries, he succeeded in stirring
up no small measure of feeling at the
south end of the Capitol. A lot of
seers and prophets have been talking
about it ever since and they look on
the Underwood-James incident as the
rift in the lutte of Democratic har-
mony.
They say it will be many a day be-
fore the last echoes of this ruction
between two of the strongest men
on the Democratic side are heard.
Everybody admits that Leader Un-
derwood has shrown himself highly
capable and that he has made a good
record this session. But there Is not
much doubt that when he scored Rep
resentatlve James he said something
in the heat of anger that he regret
ted afterTard. At any rate, the at
tack has angered number of the
friends of Representative James and
they are going about saying that Mr.
UndeTwOOd's leadership is not going
to be taken for granted hereafter and
that he will nave TO fight his way
through.
James In Midst of Fight.
Mr.. James, as is well-known, is the
choice of the Kentucky Democratic
primaries for Senator. He has a fight
on against the Republicans of his
State. That is, il is a close fight
whether the Republicans or the Dem
ocrats control the next Legislature.
In this close situation, when James
needs all the support he can get, many
of his friends in the House are mad
because the chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee attacked him in a
The Washington times., 1911-08-11

| way that will give Kentucky Republi-
cans something to hurl at him in the
night for control of the legislature.
Underwoods attack on Bryan IN the
diouse the other day is still live topic.
The friends of Bryan in the HOUSE. are
more numerous than the applause given
Underwood indicated when he made his
famous speech. And the Bryan men
have been doing a lot of thinking. They
may not have liked Bryan's criticism
OF Underwood. but they are not pleased
at the counter attack on Bryan. And
now that Underwood has attacked
James, who Is one of the leading Bryan
men, II can easily be seen the feeling
is calculated to be enhanced
Water Power Question Raised.
The bill over which the row between
Underwood and Bryan occurred looked
like an insignificant local water power
bill. but it contained an important ques-
ton Of principle. This principle is
whether in the regulation of grants of
water power the Government shall have
the right to regulate the terms on which
the power is sold to consumers.
The conscrvationists in Congress and
in the country contend the Government
must have this right. In the fight over
the bill relating TO a grant of water
power i'll Leader UEderwocd'S State. he
was put H. the attitude of opposing the
principle Of Government control of the
terms on which power would be fur
nished to cor rsumerS.
On the other hand. James, who Is
strong ConseTvatiOnist, and one of the
champions Of the ideas of Clifford Pin
chot in Congress, took exactly the other
view. The result Is that Leader Under
wood will have the conservatiCnists on
his trail, while the same element is
shouting for James
Under the circumstances IT is easy to
see that there is trouble in the air. II
may all be smoothed over and quieted
down, and then again 1t may not be. In
the meantime, il is causing a lot of the
liveliest kind Of gossip, both in the
House and the Senate.

: AIcCahn
Wiley

So Wiley was superseded by McCabe
as administrative authority.
Then the Remsen board was estab-
! lished, and it succeeded to the final
authority in scientific matters.
Wiley was eliminated!
If the plotters had been satisfied
with such substantial results they
might have gone on indefinitely, with
Lawyer McCabe bossing the whole
works and the food -poisoners getting
what they wanted. But to this point
it had been so easy that the temptA-
tion was irresistible. Wiley might
just as we'll be undone entirely. Dis
graCed and driven from the service, he
would have his fangs drawn; there
would be no more possibility OF harm
in him.
1t was a long time to wait; but at
last the opportunity came. Wiley was
out of town one day. Dunlap was for
the moment acting chief of the bureau.
He seized the opportunity, dug up the
Rusby incident, conferred with Nc
Cabe, and together they prepared a
memorandum for Secretary Wilson,
setting forth the full Nervousness of
the Wiley offense.
What offense? Why, the offense of
following the identical course that Nc
Cabe and Wilson had followed in the
matter of the Remsen board!
Wiley was absent for ONE DAY.
Yet his associate must needs be so
secretive about the plot, in this deli
cate juncture, that he could not even
dictate his memorandum of the facts
in his own office 1t "was too serious
to become the subject Of bureau COM
ment!"
A fine chance Wiley had, with his
assistant taking advantage of ONE
DAYS absence to formulate and ex-
ecute a plot of such character!
Not a word to Wiley about all this,
mind you. He was the last person
who must know what was doing. The
mine must be laid, the fuse attached,
the match lighted, while he was yet in
complete ignorance.
DIR. Dunlap, presumably the associa-
ate and intimate of Wiley, stands
forth in unenviable light; furtively,
hurriedly, nervously seizing the shin
ing hours of opportunity to plot and
plan when Wiley was temporarily alb
sent from his office.
But, after all, Dunlap was doing just
what he had learned his superiors eX-
pected of him. He had been there
several years, getting impregnated with
the atmosphere of hostility, indirec-
tion, deviousness.
Dunlap knew what was wanted. He
did not hesitate a minute. 1t gives
shudder to a selfrespecting human to
think of the cold bloodedness with
which that plot was laid by men who,
however they might have hated Wiley,
must have found it difficult to set up
such clammy job on one with whom
for years they had been compelled to
maintain daily, intimate association.
But it was none too clammy, too
heartless, too gross-this little affair
of wrecking an honorable career and
destroying the good name of great
public servant-it was none too malev-
olent or too vicious for these long
time plotters. They perfected their de-
vice, they succeeded in the all-im-
portant detail of keeping all sus-
picion of it from Wiley, they set the
well ll-oiled, responsive machinery of the
personnel board and the Secretary's Of
fee in motion-and then they waited
for the result that seemed inevitable.
That is the conspiracy against
