sent Opinions of Majority.

PLAINFIELD. n. j.. October 31.-That
the tariff bill passed by the democratic
Congress does not embody the deliberate
purpose of the majority of men who were
commissioned by the people of the United
States to make their laws was the state
ment of United States Senator Cummins
last night in a campaign speech In sup
port of Edward c. Stokes. republican can
didate for Governor of New Jersey.
'-The democratic party has furnished
the people the evidence of at least the
beginning of its policy in the tariff bill
recently passed." said Mr.. Cummins. ''I
cannot forbear reminding you that IL is
the product of q secret caucus in its pas
sage through both House and Senate. The
minds and votes of the majority Of the

caucus decree. 1t represents therefore a
majority of majority"

A., retired in lecture at the Masonic
Temple. Maj. Gillette has just returned
from trip through Mexiso.

United States government. He said that
bandits and criminals in Mexico are re-
ceiving encouragement through the
course pursued by the United States.
Mexico is not getting a square deal
from the United States, he declared.
The United States has committed the
greatest wrong against Mexico done by
any country against another in modern

Senator Norris Says Forming Pro

Nebraska progressives have protested
by wire to Senator Norris against his de-
cision to go to Massachusetts, to make
campaign speeches for Augustus Gardner.
republican. and Senator Norris has re-
piled in letter in which he declares the
formation Of the third party to have been
a mistake and in which he asserts that
he Is compelled to support Gardner be-
cause when Gardner was fighting Can
nonism a lot Of present-day progressives
were sitting still under machine rule and
making no protest.
The letter Is certain to prove a blow to
the third party in Nebraska. Senator
Norris Is foremost among the Nebraska
progressives, in either the progressive
or the republican party. and his frank
statement that the formation Of the pro-
-gressive party was mistake and that
the sole consideration in politics should
be to determine by what course the most
good can be accomplished without refer
ence to party names is certain to jolt the
third party leaders.
Senator, Norris withheld the names of
