iates the tariff doctrines of John G.
Carlisle. He differs with Dalzell in de-
gree, not in kind. Besides. he couldn't
be elected. 1 thought John Bankhead
had more sense. Down In Florida
and Georgia he got out an Underwood
button with the legend. Vote for the

spectability and all the intellectual
aristocracy of the Democratic party,
held that the beginning of tariff re-
form is free raw materials. Joe Bailey
says that is heresy. and Joe Bailey
| fetched and carried for Nelson w. AL
drich when the present tariff was
made. Champ Clark, Oscar Under
wood and Judson Harmon say Bailey
is right and the others were wrong.
And here is what Champ Clark said
about it in stupid five-hour speech
on the Payne bill:
"a political remark about free raw
materials may be apropos. There has
been a great hullabaloo in latter days
about free raw materials being Demo-
cratic. 1t is not true at ALL"
| And this Is the man they are run
ming in Kentucky as Carlisle DEM
ocrat." He has for his campaign
managers two former Republican SEN
ators-Pettigrew, Of one Of the Da-
kotas, who was for the Lodge Force
bill, and Dubois, Of Idaho, who is the
accredited lobbyist, of the wool trust,
at the Capitol. If space allowed I'd
love to print what George G. Vest said
about it. Ask Ollie James what he
thinks of the Champ Clark's stand
on the wool tariff. Ollie knows 1t is
rotten" and was cussing about 1t last
summer. Ollie agrees with Bryan on
the tariff; but there will never be any
tariff reform of the Carlisle Bryan
stripe with Champ Clark president un-
less he recants his present heresy
I'd as soon trust Joe Bailey.

But let us get to something in
teresting. Champ Clark voted for the
Sherman pension grab, and he was os-
tentatious about it, for the speaker
rarely votes. When all voted Champ
Clark ordered the clerk to call his
name, and he is recorded for the bill

members of Congress possessed of all the
power conferred by election to such Of
fees will come soon to take the place Of
Delegates Andrews and Cameron.
A delegate in Congress may introduce
bills: he may interrupt the sessions OF
the House to make a speech, move the
passage of a bill, or make point OF
order against a member: he has the
Thanking privilege; is given an ofice In
the Official Office building; and regularly
draws the full salary and allowance of
a member of Congress. But he cannot
cast vote. or make a motion to recon-
slider a vote that has been taken.
The Spanish war brought the first IN
sular representation into the House of
Representatives. Hawaii, when 1t came
into the possession of the United states
on its own volition. secured the right
to seat a delegate in Congress. as a ter
ritory, and since then the resident COM
missioners of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines have been given the same standing
as the delegates.
Who are these men who combine in
this voteless coterie the representation Of
all the outlying possessions Of Uncle
Sam. and the last divisions Of the United
States itself to be enrolled In the rank OF
states? Four of them are foreigners,
thoroughly representative of the people
Washington. Delegate Rivera Of Porto
Rico was an insurgent against Spanish
rule in his native country more than
ten years before the clash between the
United States and Spain which cast
Porto Rico free from the Spanish yoke.
Manuel l.. Quezon. one of the Filipino
commissioners. only thirty-three years
old. was an officer Of Agninaldo's staff.
Benito Legarda, his colleague, was
member of Aguinaldos cabinet in the eX-
citing days of tho Filipino revolution.
Jointly these two Filipinos have a con-
stituency of SOO0,OOO people. a million
more than the thirty-seven representatives
from the state of New York They are
distinctly representative OF their own peo-
pie: they stand for the independence OF
the Philippine Islands. although they en-
terrain different ideas as to how and
when this condition of independence shall
be brought about.

Of power and recognized standing. He
was writing for progressive newspapers
Of Porto Rico at twenty. At thirty he
had founded La Democracia, a daily pub
lished at Ponce, devoted to opposition to
Spanish methods.
His activities brought upon him the
constant attention of the Spanish authori-
ties during the ten years preceding the
SpanishAmertcan war. and more than
once these attentions amounted to prose-
cution. He founded the liberal party in
Porto Rico in 1897. and in the same year,
when Queen Maria Christina of Spain
decreed a system of self-government Tor
the island, Rivera became secretary of
state and later president of the Porto
Rican cabinet.
Under American control Of Porto Rico
Rivera continued for some time as pres1-
dent of the cabinet. Later he came to
the United States to urge free trade with
Porto Rico; and in 1901 he established
the Porto Rico Herald in New York. and
published 1t for four years. He is now
leader Of the unionist party in the island.
and was elected as resident commissioner
at Washington in 1910.
The other two delegates are typical
Americans. Delegate Ralph H. Cameron
Of Arizona was born in Maine, and Dele
gate James Wickersham of Alaska was
born. educated and admitted to the bar
in Illinois.
Judge Wickersham climbs Alaskan
mountains for pleasure. He was practic
ing law in Tacoma in 1900, when Presi-
dent Mckinley appointed him district
Judge for Alaska. He travelled over that
territory with dogs. boats and snow shoes
He held court in Fairbanks when it was

OF the island representatives in Con-
gress. Prince Kalanianaole OF Hawaii
has served the longest, having been
elected five times by popular vote In
the Hawaiian Islands. He Is probably
the only heir to a throne who has ever
graced the halls of Congress. Not
withstanding the fact that the ruling
family was overthrown and the republic
OF Hawaii formed in 1893, Prince Kalan-
ianaole's personal popularity is attested
by the fact that In each of the f1Ve cleo
lions as delegate his vote has exceeded
the combined vote Of the other two can
didates.
Delegate Kalanianaole is a cousin OF
King Kalakaua and of Queen Lilluoka-
lani. AS there was no direct heir to the
throne, he was created prince by royal
proclamation in 1884. and would have
succeeded to the throne had the kingdom
continued. He is forty years old, lover
Of sports and the possessor OF q large
country place on the Island OF Hawaii.
Each summer the men who live on this
big reservation 80 to Honolulu to repre-
sent the former prince as participants In
the races and sports. For years Delegate
in the canoe races, and time after time
they have carried off the prize as the
fastest crew in the water.
He is fond of yachting and spends
much Of the summer cruising about the
islands. After his marriage. In 1895. to
the daughter OF a chief Of the Island of
Maui Prince Kalanianaole made q tour
Of the world and was received with royal
attention. The prince and princess were
in South Africa at the time Of the Boer
war. and the British government desig
mated Sir Summers Vine to escort them
as guests OF the government. Delegate
Kalanianaole stands high in congressional
circles in Washington. On no proposition
advanced by him In Congress has he ever
been turned down.

Legarda, as representative Of the
progresista party, also stands for the
independence of the islands; but it is
the view of the leaders of his party
that the island people are not yet

least one generation away. The diff
