Democratic Congressman WI
Explain
Will

The many democratic congress
men who represent agricultural
districts are badly embarrassed
by the tariff record OF their par
ty during the present session, so
far as its effects 3lks farmers OF
the country. Thsv~sare wonder
ing how they will be able to ex
plain the systematic attempts OF
their party to break down the
protection afforded to the far
mers OF the west while retaining
il for other interests and many OF
them are seriously considering
whether they shall attempt to
run again in the face OF almost GER
tain defeat. The one tariff mea-
sure in which the attempt has
been made to establish tree trade
is the tree sugar bill passed by the
democratic majority OF the house.
The democratic leaders admitted
that the enactment OF this bull
INTO law would mean the ruin OF
the sugar beet farmers through
ont the west and would benefit
ithe Sugar Trus, and other rein
ers. but they rushed il through
under the gag rule \. that time
Representative Martin, demo-
,crat from Colorado, made brief
speech in which he bade farewell
- his follow members. explaining
that the passage OF the bill would
make his state republican by So
600 or more. His example might
we'll have been followed by TWEEN
tv or thirty other democrats who
, represent states all the way from
IOhio and Michigan to the Pact
fic coast. IN which the growing
oil sugar beeis is becoming an m
:, portant and profitable industry.
To make the lot Of these democrats
still more unhappy, the Canadian
reciprocity issue was once more
{ brought to the front last week by
+ the acr>Qn Of the senate repuo'
licans in inaking the repeal OF the
reciprocity bill a part OF the metals
= tariff bill. The republicans OF the
house voted solldly TO repeal the
!, reciprocity measure, but the dem
:, oerat majority sustained it under
i orders from their leaders, and nov
:, the democratic members from tht
: west and northwest, knowing botl
sugar and reciprocity bills are
bitterly opposed by their constr
tuents who would be subjected tt

in the second degree against Jo
nah Star. rendered by the jury
early Saturday morning after they
had been out all the night pre-

Evidence on both sides was
given to the jury early IN the al
ternoon of Thursday. As soon as
both sides rested, the defense en-
tered motion for a directed vnr-
diet in favor of both defendants.
and after much argument made
by the defense, the court over
ruled the motion and decided to
submit the question of the guilt
or innocence of each defendant tc
the jury. Thomas Mani assls-
tant counsel for the prosecution,
opened the argument to the jury
at four clock. speaking tor
about three hours during which
time he held their close attention
He laid great deal OF stress up
on the circumstances surround no

Great credit is due the prosec,,
