disc He was the first orator. the first

most of the time of the house to-

There were a number of fiareups
as on previous days. but things ran
along pretty smoothly until the cotton
schedule was reacheG late in the at
ternoon. Thereupon by the grace of
Chairman Underwood the five minute
rule was temporarily abrogated in or
der to give the opposition a chance
to be heard. The cotton schedule was
attacked first by Representative
Gardner. of Massachusetts,, who
charged that the contentious OF the
Northern manufacturers of cotton
goods had been ignored by the ways
and means committee who had taken
their text as to the framing of the
schedule solely from the Southern
mill owners, who pay the lowest
wages In the United States and oper-
ate TO the distinct disadvantage of the
Northern producers of cotton cloth.
who likewise produce the cheaper
grades OF cotton cloth in which no
competition even today exists nor will
exist IL the bill is enacted In its pres
ent form. whereas the projected re-
auctions of the present bill will serve
to drive manufacturers of the finer
grades of cotton clothes out OF bust
ness In the North altogether.

ed. He warned the Democrats in a
later speech that the course they were
pursuing could lead only to Repub-
lican success IN the 1914 elections
with the probable return of that party
to power and a wreck of the Demo-
cratic party for another period of
twenty years. His first speech was
framed az an attack on his colleague.
