bil! has became a law. The demo- crats would have been wise if they had confined the special session to the consideration of the reciprocity bill. Instead, they set out to show how they could bungle legislation. They prevented the passage of the constitutional amendment for the di- rect election of senators by insisting on coupling with it another amendment to deprive the general government of one of its necessary powers.
 They nearly defeated statehood by insisting that congress give practical approval to the recall Of judges. and prepared tariff bills without a knowl- edge of their form or substance. They brought in tariff bills grotesque in form with the plain avowal that they neither knew nor cared what their effect might be on the industries of the country, planted themselves squarely on a platform against pro lection and in favor of a tariff rev enue only, without knowing what the effect on the revenue might be.
 The special session developed the broadness of MT. Tafts statesman ship. and also the incompetency of the democrats in legislation"
