MONDELL'S SPEECH.

Washington, July 24-Republican
political wounds were laid bare and
much bitterness was displayed in the
House, today. when Rep. Mondell o.
Wyoming. member of the credentials
committee of the recent Chicago con
yention which seated Taft contesting
delegates, and Rep. Norris of Nebras-
ka, an ardent Roosevelt Republican,
clashed in two set speeches. Mr.. Mon
dell defended the action of the conven-
with bitter emphasis.
Once during Mr.. Mondells speech
order was restored only when the Chair
was on the point OF ordering the mace
down TO compel Rep. Warburton Of
Washington, Republican, to take his
seat. Again that emblem of authority
came near being used to quell turbu-
lence when Rep. Humphrey of Wash
inSton. Republican, declined to cease
his interruption of Mr.. Norris speech.
Mr.. Norris followed Mr. Mondell
vita the statement that a man whose
name was known throughout the coun-
try" had acknowledged that the Taft
managers had stolen the delegates
from the state of Washington. This
man, he said, was now engaged in sup
porting the Presidents candidacy be-
Cause. Mr.. Norris added, he entertain
ed political aspirations.
when the gentleman makes such a
statement" interjected Rep. Humph-
rey. '.he certainly should give his au-
thority."
Nj. Norris declined 10 divulge the
identity of mis- informant. He plunged
at once into his reply to Mr.. Mondell
and criticized the latters denunciation
of soap box primaries He referred
To the primaries in Indiana which went
for Taft and which Mr. MondelI en-
dorsed as regular.
The gentleman loves the primary
that goes for Taft" said Mr.. Norris,
ironically. but how he hates and de-
spises the primary that goes for Roose-
