grafton Turning TO members of the House
! Rules Committee, the Georgian asserted
that they had consistently broken their
promise to bring in rule to give the Bur-
nett immigration bill privileged status.
! You needn't try to bunk tho people
| again; | intend TO expose you II you put
off this matter until January or Febru-
airy, when there is no chance OF getting
immigration legislation through" shouted
| the irate Democrat.
Republicans grinned and applauded the
original Democratic insurgent," and the
| Democrats attempted to shut or Mr. ROD
denbury with points of orders and calls
| for the regular order. Mr.. Roddenbury
| said millions were interested in restricted
| immigration, while no such interest at
| tached 10 the annual row over the alleged
| impositions practised upon the Indians.
| Previous 10 the Roddenbury outbreak the
| Rules Committee had drafted resoll-
ton to make the Burnett Immigration bill
| privileged. but the Georgian did not dis
cover this fact until just before adjourn
ment. II the squabbling over the Indian

| consideration of the Indian bill ends To-
morrow. the immigration bill propaDiy
will have it's inning under a speclal RUS

II tho Republican party is dead as
claimed by distinguished bolter i've
| " and hopeful ghost stalked ABOUT the
Capitol to-day, when the executive COM
| nittee Of the Republican Congressional
| Committee met and made plans for the
perpetuation Of the principles OF inc
| party. The reorganization OF the CON-
gressional committee will await. naturally
the converting OF the new House, with It's
recruit Republican members. II was de-
termined at the meeting to-day. how
ever, TO wage q vigorous and persistent
|
csnisrn and to promote, through extensive
publicity and otherwise. the rehabillta-
| ton not only of the committee, but OF
the party itself. The Republican Ma
tionaI Committee will give attention
| meanwhile to the same general subject
and the harmonious and cooperative re-
| lations between the two ORGANIZATIONS
will continue. II was tentatively decided
| al the conference OF Congressional COM
mittee members that within the next two
| or three months some general scheme
will be adopted by which the voting pub
Iic will be advised that the principles of
Republicanlsm have not persisted and
that the party will return 10 its former
position Of prestige and power, and Will
| merit such return.
| The permanent organization OF the
| Congressional committee will await the
! converting OF the new session" said Rep
resentative J. Hampton Moore. secretary
! Of the Congressional committee, but the
ground work was laid a. our meeting 10
begin forthwith the campaign for the re-
establishment OF the party. The senti-
ment at our meeting was that as we put
aside the old harness we should buckle
on the new and keep the public advised
constantly OF our plans. This viii be
done and time will demonstrate that the
party Is far from dead" Mr. Moore
announced that the two headquarters Of
the Congressional committee in Wash
inston would he amalsamatcd and the
general headquarters OF the Congress
sional committee would be in constant
touch with the national body. Practically
all OF the members OF the executive COM
| mttee including Chairman McKinley
were in attendance at the meeting and
it was far from a gloomy gathering.
