Willing Go-Between Of System
and Powers in Politics, His
Appellation
RIDICULEs SEN. CRANE

CHICAGO, June l7.-Predicting VIC
tory for the progressives, Thomas w.
Lawson of Boston, today sized up the
national convention as the last stand
OF the national machine In politics.
Lawson sarcastically complimented
the Taft steam-roller for its masterful
work, but added that when II struck
the White heat OF progressive fires
IL will disappear like straw hat in a
furnace"
This convention" he declared,
faces one OF the gravest situations OF
any national convention in our his
tory. 1t is purely fight between pop
ular self-government and machine
government The people are going TO
win out or know the reason why
This seems TO be a hot air age.
The bosses have almost suffocated
the people with It, have never seen
not sir have such sway as II has here.
II is the limit.
The machine politicians are
knocking down standards at a pretty
lively gait II is the first time in the
history of the country that those peo-
pie who have sneered at our form OF
government have had chance to
say 1 told you So"
Lawson paid his respects to Sena-
tor Murray Crane, whom he is fighting
in Massachusetts, as an "in-betweener
and pussy foot"
These situations" he said, create
the Murray Cranes of politics. Crane
is a willing go-between OF the sys-
tenn and the powers In politics. He
couldn't foresee that the bosses would
go over the fence with the loot and
leave the lieutenants standing out In
the field to be picked of by the peo-
pie. Crane Is a lieutenant, not a
leader. He is bully good in the
secret service arm OF politics"
The Detroit times., 1912-06-17

the business OF the convention, No
candidate shall be permitted 10 be
nominated by fraud. The Taft men
openly and brazenly admit the fraud
In California, and with this admission
II Ii obvious they cannot and do not
represent the Republican party.
The theft OF two delegates selected
by 1900 majority In a primary which
Taft himself acQuiesced was 30 out
rageous as 10 focus attention on the
state"
The Taft steam roller late Saturday
evening finished the regular work laid
out for II. winding up the 254 contests
regularly presented. and having seat,
cd a total OF 235 Taft delegates and
l9 Roosevelt men. The national com.
niittee, however, did not adjourn per
manently, and II is understand that II
may be called together again TO un-
seat more Roosevelt delegates IL the
Taft leaders find they need the places
and think they can win by taking
them.

mittee. Eckert and Frank were found
10 stand among the first six and. sc-
cordins to the boys, were told that
they would not be, required to take
the examination.
Captain Cooper. Of Company @. said
that both boys had repeatedly ''kidded"
him about not having 70 take the ex-
animation, and tho boys told the COM
mittee that Colonel Ross had said that
they would be exempt from the test.
In the opinion Of those who COM
mented on the hearing last night the
matter sifted down into the question
OF the man higher up. That there was
misunderstanding among the boys was
the opinion Of the military committee.
Mr.. Davis said In defense: II wish
to submit. to the COMMITTEES, that those
boys are grossly. negligent and that
they were not told that they were not
to take the examination by any one in
authority. Neither MT. Hart nor
boys"

M'REYNOLDS MAY
Be CALLED BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE
Views on Appeal In Tobacco
Trust Case Might Be
Valuable.

The interesting possibility that James
G. McRsynoids, special counsel for the
Government In the Tobacco trust case.
will be called before the Senate Judi
ciary Committee to give his views on
the question of whether an appeal
should be taken from the reorganization
decree, has been suggested.
1t was learned today that independent
tobacco interests are DESTROYS OF hav-
ing McReynolds before the committee.
The reason for this is that McReynolds
II supposed to know, more about the
case than any other man, so far as the
side of the Government IL concerned.
Just what position McReynolds takes
a. to whether an appeal can now be
compelled by Congress has not been
learned here That he was never salts
fed with the reorganization decree was
reported In washington about the time
the circuit court handed down its de-
cree. In fact, It was reported at the
time that he and Mr.. Wickersham diff
fered sharply. 1t is an interesting fact
that McReynolds is no longer In the
Government service.
Independent tobacco interests, 1t is
said, will not be satisfied until the COM
mittee has heard the case expounded by
the man who made the fight for the
Government
