LAF0lLETTE TAKES FALL
OUT OF newspapers
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Assailing
the press fthe United States for its
support of the Canadian reciprocity
bill, Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
made his closing speech against the
bill in the house today. He expressed
the belief that the newspapers would
: suffer a loss of influence for the sup,
port they have given to legislation in
which. he said, they have a direct
money interest"
"The press has failed in it's duty to
the public in regard to this legisla-
tion" he said. La Toilette referred
finance committee of the senate that
newspaper organizations had sent a
communication to cany papers, urging
them to favorably treat the reciprocity
agreement He deplored this attitude
the newspapers. Senator La Toilette
referred to Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, who had interrupted him. "as
newspaper owner" who had a direct
interest at stake. "Is it not just as
fair for me to criticize the senator
from Wisconsin," retorted Hitchcock,
"for advocating the duty on paper in
the interest of the great paper mills
of Wisconsin to which the whole coun-
try pays tribute?" Senator La Toilette
replied that he did not favor duty on
paper, that he was in favor of free
print paper, and would propose
measure in that interest as direct
tariff measure. He objected to the
reciprocity bill. he said, because the
newspapers wiuld get free paper at
the expense of the farmers whose
duties on their products would be re-
moved.

o'clock this morning, Representative

ditch with the exception of Thompson,
who was caught under the machine.
Those of his companions who could
aid him rushed to his assistance in re-
sponse to his cries for help, and lifted
the machine sufficiently to allow him
