Insincere in Their Advo-

Representative Sisson Of Mississippi,
democrat, set his political colleagues by
the ears in the House today during con-
sideration Of the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill, by charging that the
democratic party was not sincere in it's
protestation Of economy. He sought to
have stricken from the bill an item Of
$40, 600 to meet the expenses Of the Amer
lean delegates to the next general assem-
bly, of the International Institute of Agri-
culture.
II am tired of this prating of economy
by the democratic members of this
House," he said, land the absence of its
practice. We preached economy when
the republicans were in power and We
fail to practice it when he have the
opportunity. I am criticising no indi-
vidual on this side of the chamber. but
the democratic party will have to face the
crit cism of the country and bear the
brunt of that criticism
