the politicians
Mr. Randel declared that the yer
dict of the people last November was
for the revision of the tariff gown
ward at once Particularly as 't6 tue
necessities of life. said Mr. Randell,
was immediate revision demanded
While his challenge was particu-
/ larry addressed TO the republicans,
Mr. Randell did not confine his re-
marks to the members of that party.
. He reminded the members of his own
, party the democrats, that the people
/ of the country would not view with
patience any delay in carrying out
( the demands that the party had
made.
"On December 5, 1910. the first
/ day of this session, said Mr. Ran
| dell. Il introduced a bill to change
/ the date of the regular annual ses-
sion of congress, providing That
/ congress shall assemble in regular
session once every year, and such
meeting shall be on the 4th day o.
March instead of the first Monday
in December This bill was referred
to the committee on judiciary and
ordered to be printed, but it has not
been reported back TO the house
Congress has several times by
law appointed day for the meeting
The present congress has full powei
to change the date for the next ses-
sion. and the president can call an
extraordinary session It is clear to
the mind OF any dispassionate man
that there should be no unnecessary
delay on the part of congress in car
ryng out the will of the people as
clearly expressed at the last cleo |
ton
At this point Messrs. Hill of Con
necticut and Burke of Pennsylvania |
Mr. Randell and insisted |
on knowing the specific work he ex-
pected the new congress to do ana f.
what he understood the instructions |
of the people to be as indicated by
the last election. MI Randen re-
piled:
y think that the people meant
that it was time for them to take
charge of their own government
| again.
II think they meant that the re
publican party had proven false to
it's promises. | think they meant that
the republican party, when it prom
ised to revise the tariff and to revise
it in the interest of the people haa
failed to do so.
"As to what we can do we will see
whether or not we can reduce the
price of food where that price is in
creased by law.
I'VE will endeavor to give tne
people an opportunity for cheaper
clothing, especially the poorer peo-
pie, where the price is enhanced by
law.
We will endeavor to give free
lumber so that the people can build
their homes as they cannot do now,
eve will endeavor to decrease the
price of living where the increased
expense comes from the brutal pow
er of law and not from natural
sources.
"Win YOU obstuct the action OF
the people? VIII you say to them;
You can repudiate us if you will,
but we will let the effect of our mis-
rule stand as long as possible
"Will you say to them that the re-
suit of your work which is unsatis-
| factory to them, shall remain and
that the interests which have been
controlling this congress will contin
ne TO gather their ill-gotten gains
! for another year?
IF you do, | tell you that an out
ragged public will, when the next cleo
ton comes, sweep YOU not only IRON
this house but from the senate anc
the presidency as we'll
Il am not here to condemn any
man because of his party affiliations
No matter TO what party he belongs
his country should stand first, ANY
one who refuses to obey the Will O
the people is unworthy of trust anC
should be driven from the public ser
vice"
