CONGRESSMAN H. t. HELGEsEN
DECLARES HOUSE CAUCUS IS
VICIOUS METHOD.

Grand Forks N. D., Oct 1S-Declaring
that the methods Of the democratic con-
gress are more complex and barren Of
fruit than the old system, that the peo-
pie of North Dakota and the northwest
had nothing to hope from such a repre-
sentation. Congressman H. T.. Helgesen
Wednesday night attacked his demo-
cratic compeers in the house. He spoke
at the, city hall and was greeted by a
good sized audience.
He bitterly attacked the caucus sys-
tenn. I'm my opinion tn ssscret caucus
10 vicious In principle. he4ssaids' "and
wrong in practice and 10 the stronghold
of the big interests for controlling leg.
islauon. The Democratic party in elm.
mating 'Cannonism' substituted .Aldrich
ism by transferring the power former.
ly welded by the speaker Of the floor
leader. Mr.. Underwood. who through
the secret caucus the rules and. the stand
ing committees, has AZ much arbitrary
power over legislation today az any
speaker ever had
The speaker then referred to the NTH

DDS the democrats! employed in getting
around the rules. which had been adopt
ed under the republican control. He said
they did nor dare to change the rules,
giving to the members of congress a
chance to be heard. whether or not the
speaker wishes. but that they had got
around them by having the several COM
mittees. whicf4 sare given preference,
bring in bills at the time which should
be given over to the Introduction or
bills by members or the bringing up Of
bills. which had been pigeon.holed. This
method. he said, had entirely Offset the
benefit Of the rules. IVA
The speaker did not touch upon state
politics or upon the presidential situa-.
ton. The greater part OF his address
was an attack on the methods Of the
democratic house. In dealing with what
North Dakota might expect from. a dem
ocratic congress he said:
Under the caucus system, even IL all
members were present LIZ democrats
constitute a majority. TIE solid south
has l12 members, add to thesa the IL
Tanmany members from New York City
and you have more than enough for
control. but you can easily add enough
more members from eastern districts to
make more than enough for a two:thirds
vote in the democratic caucus. Now
just consider the fact that none Of these
districts. from business point of view
have anything in common with the great
northwest; that they consume what we
produce and are interested in making
our products as cheap az possible; that
because Of this, they have not only re-
fused to repeal Canadian reciprocity,
but nave openly declared that IL given
the power. they win put ali our farm
products on the free list. and you can
Readily see the absurdity Of sending
democrats to congress from this section
Of the country. The representatives of
the solid south and Of the congested
centers Of the east will always control
the democratic party. and a vote to send
democrat to congress from North Da-
kota, is vote to put the product of
your farm in free and open competition
with all the world, while; everything
you nave to buy will be more or Less
protected even under the democratic
so-calied tariff for revenue only This
is business proposition with you, and
I do not thing you are going to reduce
the value Of your farm products as well
as the value Of your farms

Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-06-06
FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.

! -Four weeks from today is the
Fourth of July. AS has been the
custom for several years past Perth
Amboy Will have the so-called safe
And sane" style of celebration. The
committee of citizens, headed by the
mayor. is actively at work planning
for the event in order that the chill
dren, and grown people as we'll,
may be properly entertained.
But is is plain to all hat these
plans cannot be carried out without
the proper financial support. 1t has
been ascertained that about $500
will be needed. Or this amount
$500 has been placed in the tax
budget by the Board of Aldermen,
leaving about $1,000 yet to be rails
ed by subscription.
The proper persons to support
such a cause as this are, first of all.
the heads of families. 1t is safe to
say that under the old style of cele-
bratlon the Fourth of July cost
practically every father at least ff-
ty cents for fire crackers and some
times as much as 81 or 81 or So.
AS fire crackers and fireworks by in
aiyiduals are now prohibited, this
amount of money cannot be spent
In the old way.
1t is not to save money. however
that the safe and sane" celebra-
tion is adopted. 1t is to save life,
misery and annoyance. 1t is not in
tended to rob the children of theil
pleasure, but to turn it into a new
and safer and more attractive chan
mel, Therefore, instead Of each
family providing for its W in its
own way, all are supposed to join In
II great celebration under the d.
rection of the mayors committee OF
citizens.
The point we wish to make Is.
that every parent. instead Of spend,
ing his usual amount of money for
flrecrackers and other explosives,
endangering the lives OF his chill
dren, should contribute the same
amount that he would have spent In
