nrst message in person, has created quite
DO mueh gossip and comment as his recent
attack upon the lobbyists.
Washington, of course. is crowded with
iopoyists. regular campaign in the
newspapers, by advertisements and all
kinds of printed matter offered to the cor
respondents, and buttonholing senator's
and the powers that be has been syste-
matically conducted here for the last two
or three months. All kinds of literature
on the sugar question, the wool question
and the Underwood tariff as applied to
both, and other items In the bill, have
been In evidence
Undoubtedly this campaign has cost
money. No one charges and no one be-
iieves that any of this money is used to
corrupt any member of Congress or any
one who has influence enough to change a
vote on the tariff but the President OBJ
1ected to what he termed "misrepre-
sentation of facts He feared the effect
upon the senators-that Is to say, that ne
reared that they might be misled by the
plausible argument of those who sought
to defeat the Underwood bill
The newspapers are being filled with
paid advertisements calculated to mislead
not only the Judgment of public men, but
also the public opinion of the country
ITSELF" declared the President The Pres
1dent threw down the gauntlet to the in
terests who were waging war against his
tariff programme, and as he has done
before, showed his intention of carrying
the fight directly to the people
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-31
Fell Like a Bomb

statement fell like a bomb. The small
army of tariff lobbyists which have had
regular quarters here since the Under
wood bill passed the House, were thrown
into confusion by the sudden and vigorous
attack made from the White House. Men
prominent for many years in official life,
including former senators and congress-
men, who have become identified with
the various interests In the organized ef-
fort against the Underwood bill, were dis
concerted after reading the Presidents
declaration and specializing on it's prob
able effect.
1t is claimed that the expenses of the
sugar and wool 1obbies alone in this CITY,
exclusive of the advertising and litera-
ture, runs to thousands of dollars day.
In the Senate, Senator Kenyon, repub-
lican, and in the House, Representative
Tavenner, democrat, have pending resolu-
tions which provide for an inquiry into
the lobbying done in Washington. Sena-
tor Kenyon believes in drastic measures
TO secure the members of Congress free
dom from lobbyists.
1t has long been a practice, and to
some extent is yet, for an ex-member of
either body, who Is allowed the priv
iege of the floor and the entire freedom of
the capitol. to in many instances turn
lobbyist after losing out with his con-
stituents. His wide acquaintance and his
familiarity with the procedure of legis-
lation, naturally made him valuable man
to any concern which desires certain laws
enacted or certain laws not enacted, as
the case may be. There are. however,
few such instances in Washington now. in
comparison to what used to be. This
practice has been frowned upon SO much
that an ex-member who appears in that
role has practically little Of the influence
he enjoyed in former days left.
Will 1t Delay>Action?
! Some declare that the statement of the
President regarding the lobbyists will
serve to delay tariff action. The Senate,
1t is said. will stop in it's tarisf work to
investigate the charges of the President
that tariff lobby Is being maintained at
the capital. Some senators nave already
said that any change in the tariff bill
made now since the Presidents state
ment, however necessary, or with what
ever motive, would be charged in some
quarters as being influenced through
lobby, and would place the authors of the
change in most embarrassing position
with their constituents.
There has been some criticism of the
President also because he made no mem
tion of the lobby here which has been
fighting for free sugar, but it can be
said that the latter interests have not
been as vigorous in the prosecution of
their campaign as the interests against
the bill.
Apparently the lobby against the free
sugar provision of the Underwood bill has
been the most active. 1t has carried on
campaign of advertisements In the local
newspapers and has been particularly ac-
tive in other directions. Nearly all of the
other interests hit by the bill also have
maintained agents at the capital.
At any rate, the President succeeded in
stirrinx up lively discussion and drew
the lines sharply. The question is: Are
the people for or against the Under
wood bill?
