Democracy has made good In
the special session We have
made a record that has surprised
our friends and dumbounded our
enemies. The extra session was
extraordinary, In the amount and
quality Of the work done In the
house by the combined Demo
Gratis and insurgents and the
combined Democrats and insur-
gents In the senate, and especially
In the unanimity of action devel-
oped by the house Democrats.
II was predicted freely, vocifer-
ously. enthusiastically and conf

orators that we would go TO
pieces, but We have sorely disap-

Of mere negation. and as being
utterly lacking in ability for con-
structive statemanship, We
passed through the house more
constructive legislation and bet

In 20 years.
We redeemed every promise

by a scratch to override the presi-

So majority. .4- 1855.
To this complexion has r. come
at last, that the president who
rode into power by huge major

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Senator
Joseph L. Bristow, of Kansas, Repub-
lican progressive, takes President
Taft to task for vetoing the Arizona
and New Mexico statehood bill, be-
cause of the recall provision for
judges in the constitution Of Arizona.
The senator made the criticism in n
Etstement to the United Press associ-
ton, for The Times.
Statements were also received from
Senator Robert l.. owen, Of Okla
homa. and Rep. James Mann. minor

Clark and others The views OF each
follow:
BY Senator 6ristow.
(ccpyrignt, 1911, by the United Press
Associatlon.)
The special session has not ac-
complished what IL should have
done, though IL has to its credit
some substantial legislation.
The corrupt practices act will
have some restraining influence
on excessive expenditure of money
In congressional and senatorial
elections.
The reciprocity bill, think,
will not produce satisfactory re-
suits. think IL will slightly re-
duce the price OF farm products,
but not the cost Of living, because
the reduction will all be absorb
ed by middlemen.
Efforts OF the progressive Re-
publicans TO reduce excessive du-
ties on manufactured articles fall
ed, through a combination be-
tween the president, standpat Re
publicans and certain Democratic
leaders.
The passage by the senate of
the resolution for direct election
OF senators is the greatest triumph
OF the session for progressives.
But that 10 tied up In conferences.

Gratis demanded as q price Of d.
rect elections that the federal

The Democrats in the house
would have been wise II they had
confined the special session to
consideration OF the reciprocity
bill oniy. Instead OF that, they
get out 10 show how they could
bungle legislation. They prevented
the passage OF the constitutional
amendment for direct election Of
senators by insisting upon coup
ling with another amendment to
the constitution 10 deprive the
general government OF one Of its
necessary powers.
The fought against publicity OF
primary election expenses, until
VIC strangled them into yielding.
They nearly defeated statehood
for Arizona by insisting that con-
gress give practical approval to
recall of judges. They prepared
tariff bills without knowledge OF
either form or substance.
While entering upon the do
main OF tariff legislation, they
have refused to consider other
needed legislation. We were un-
able to force them to take up
conservation leglslatlon--especial-
ly bills to protect and utilize the
resources OF Alaska.
The principal legislation which
this session has enacted is the
provision In the Canadian reci-
procity bill. admitting wood pulp
and paper free from Canada. That
provision was drafted by me.
Their acceptance OF that provision
was the wisest thing the Demo-
Gratis have done.
The special session has devel-
oped the broadness OF President
Taft's statesmanship and also the
incompetency OF the Demo
Gratis. when II comes to legisla-
ton. They have tried to put the
president In hole. The net re-
suit OF the special session has
been to strengthen the president
and weaken the Democrats before
the country.

BY far the most important thing
that has transpired at this session
OF congress, has been the an
nouncement OF Rep. Underwood
that hereafter caucuses will be
open to the public and to the
press. In making this statement.
I recognize the fact that import
ant legislation has been under
consideration, but II should be
remembered that an open caucus
will do more to shape this legis-
lation In the interests Of the peo-
pie than anything else that could
be done by congress. We have
taken two steps In the right direc-
ton in the matter OF the popular
election of United States senators
and the passage OF a corrupt prac-
tees act. This latter does not go
far enough by any means, but IL
IL certain we will have additional
legislation along those lines in the
future. With these two bills on
the statute books, congress can
be depended upon TO be thorough
ly representative OF the people.

Thanks also 20 the Democrats, :
We have provided for admission
OF Arizona and New Mexico, In
which I reJofce 10 have had a
part. The refusal of the president
TO permit unrestricted constitu-
tional government of Arizona Is
a distinct national misfortune.
The recall OF judges will be de-
nianded by the people OF the
states wherever they find IL nee
essary. II Is a fundamental right
which every state should have,
whether tho policy be wise or
foolish.
The initiative, referendum and
recall has made a national ad-
vance, through the approval by
congress of that part OF Arizona's
constitution.
The president himself has been
compelled TO concede the right
and the justice OF the initiative,
the referendum and the recall,
with the sole exception OF the
judiciary.
The presidents refusal to ac-
oept the wool schedule Is equival-
ent to saying that he is not will

ment OF his own party. The wis
dom or the unwisdom OF his
