has not the power, as had the democratic
caucus to prohibit a member from serving

SIDEWALK FARMERS Busy

Rapid City Journal: No pains are
spared to make the seEate believe
ithat the farmers Of the country are
opposed to m agreement with Canada
on reciprocal lines. The protests that
iSro going in to Washington bear all
evidences OF careful preparation. and
II ID plainly apparent that there are
those behind tho movement to whom
slittle expense is no obstacle. Thus
the opposition in the senate is to be
bolstsred and supported, sufficiently,
II possible. to furnish q reasonable
pretext to vote in favor of embarras-
sing President Tsft's administration.
And the movement is all within the
Presidents own party. The proverb-
ial slowness of the senate will furn-
1ishs ample time for this opposition to
reciprocity to gather head and mani
fest Ito full strength.
