II do not say that the senators and
representatives are all that they
should be; but in my twenty-five
years association with them 1 have
met hundreds of them. and not five
OF them could be bought to support a
policy which they believe to be wrong.
regret to say, however, that they do
not always have the courage to do
what they know to be right. 1t is not
venality. but cowardice. which is the
great evil that faces US today.
Calls the Tariff Fallacy.
call upon you senators and rep
resentatives to make the public at
large feel that the judgment of the
senate on any question is just. is cour-
ageous. and is wise. believe that
protective tariff is a fallacy. and in the
neat OF campaign I may have called
1t robbery but never have I doubt
ed the honesty of its advocates.
Put an end to the bitter denuncia-
tions In campaigns. and the calling of
names. and especially ugly ones, and
explain each issue of Importance to
the public without attacking the in
tegrity Of the men who founded it,
Many people in the United States
have been led to believe that 1 am in
the senate to protect the interests OF
the corporations 1 have served the
pSoPiS III potl uouSSS lOT TWENTY-FIVE
wears. and have taken part in every
important debate and voted on every
matter of importance which has arisen
in that time. Yet there is no man
living who can place his finger upon a
single instance where I have voted
against or debated against the inter
ests OF my constituents.
Sees Democratic Victory This Fall.
II believe that the democratic party
will be victorious in November, but
one victory Is all that the democrats
will be able to get unless they change,
and II we are wise we will be able to
govern the country for as long as our
fathers did. and IL we are not, we do
not deserve to.
The spectacle of former presi-
dent of the United States and the in
cumbent Of that high Office going
around the country and making the
most bitter denuciations of each 9TH
er was terrible. and believe that we
will see in November presidential
campaign such as we have never
known. I sincerely hope that Gov.
Wilson, a man whom ! did not favor,
will be dignified. and conf1ne his cam
paign to letter and speech Of ac-
ceptance, and maintain the dignity Of
the high ONCE to which he aspires.
Let US save that high office and
President Taft from the necessity Of
having to defend himself against the
disappointed officeseekers."

TARIFF BILLS
WILL GO TO VOTE
Filibuster by Democrats
Force Concession From
Republicans in Senate.

Washington. July ia democrat
tc filibuster in the senate to force con-
sideration Of the wool, sugar and ex-
else tax bills was indicated today. The
attempt to force consideration Of the
wool bill was defeated 35 to %. the
republican progressives voting with
the regulars.
Senator Simmons intimated that the
democrats might decline to permit an
adjournment without consideration of
those bills. The democratic forces
later practically won the demand for
consideration Of the remaining tariff
bills and excise tax bill. This was the
result Of a conference on the floor
at the opening of the democratic fill
buster held by the republican leaders
at which it was agreed the republ-
cans would accede to the democratic
demand with the understanding that
the democrats would abandon the fill
buster and agree to- allow the tariff
bills to 60 to the ballot after a COM
paratively brief discussion.

an account Of it.
Hitchcock promised to furnish the

Of the financial records of the cam

annual address Of President Charles
Meyer was the feature of the second
days session Of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, held in Victor today.
President Meyer referred to the strike
at Blair. New, where the Pittsburgh
Silver Peak Gold Mining company de-
cided to reduce wages on account OF
ore. He said:
THE president of this company is
ex-senator FLYNN OF Pennsylvania OF
whom the country has heard much. es-
pecially during the republican conven-
ton in Chicago. A progressive of
progressives, yet he would see the
slaves of the mines and mill in his
employ on the Nevada desert forced
to labor under starvation conditions.
I'VE would say to Mr.. Flynn If his
mine at Silver Peak is not paying
proposition, close it down but don't
take part in establishing a reduced
scale of wages in surrounding dis
tricts."
Meyer criticized W. r. Hearst in a
bit Of sarcasm spoken against the sup
erintendent of the Homestake Mining
company of the manner in which the
company conducted its campaign
against the striking miners.

Senator Bailey Sees Crises in Affairs
OF Nation Like Unto French Revolt

ent, who frequently applauded his
views. Senator Bailey declared that
for eighteen months he had been in
retirement in the senate. because of
lack Of harmony, and he asserted that
under such conditions he was value
less to the people.
True government is not founded
upon men," he said. although men
must administer the government True
government is founded on immortal
policies and principles. and I have
lived to see radicals become ultra
conservatives. In the twenty five
years that 1 have served my country.
1 have not changed my position on a
single principle, hut I am retiring
from the senate of the United States
because so many others have changed
theirs. I firmly believe in the integri-
ty of the house of representatives and
the senate. but 7 would say that con-
gress is forgetting the big questions
and spending too much time on the
small ones
Believes Crisis Not Far Of.
This republic is near crisis which
Is greater than the Wisest men think.
l do not forget that the French revolu-
ton came while the governors were at
the theater, and that they arose from
their banquet tables to come face to
face with violence and bloodshed in
the streets Of Paris. do not say that
these United States are facing such a
state Of affairs today, but l do main
tain that II within the next thirty
years the country should continue to
change as it has in the past thirty, we
will find ourselves face to face with
such a condition at the end of that
time.
you senators and representatives
! can prevent this great crisis, and YOU
will do SO if you have the courage to
go out and tell the public the truth
Every evil which exists in the country
today can be corrected without danger
to the principles and policies upon
which this republic was founded, and
1t should be done.
Blamee Minority for Unrest.
The impatience Of the minority Of
which myself have been member.
has been largely responsible for the
state Of mind Of the people Of the
United States today, for they have
grossly exaggerated the evils of the
country.
1.-THE senator's and representatives
are more largely responsible for the
present unrest than any one else. In
their campaigns they have left the i'm
preston with the people that there Is
no honest man in Washington but
themselves. and that the members Of
congress were more concerned with
their own affairs than with the well
fare Of the public at large.
