son told the white house correspond

extraordinary lobby ever gathered by
special interests to overcome legisla-
ton, was now mustered at the capitol
against the tarin bill He said he had
no DOUBT a few Of the so-called lobby
lists We're there On legitimate errands,
but that the great majority were oc-
cupied in a systematic misrepresenta-
ton of facts.
While the president believes the
lobby" Of the opposition is concen-
trated against free sugar and FREQ
wool, he is not apprehensive that it
VIII De successful
The president made it clear he be.
lieved scientific business methods and
efficiency would overcome the tariff
cuts and that with the application OF
scientific methods Louisiana not only
would be able TO continue in the sugar
industry but would do so probably.
Wilson hopes this week 70 give def
mite expressions 10 his views on cur
rency reforms. He plans TO have Z
number of conferences with currency
advocates in and out Of Congress and
feels confident the bill will be com
pleted by the end CT the week.
President Wilson issued the state
ment IN part
Il think the public ought TO know
the extraordinary exertions being
made by lobbyists in Washington 10
gain recognition for certain altera-
tious in the tariff bill. Washington
seldom has seen so numerous indus
uious or so insidious lobbyists. News
papers are being filled with paid ad-
Vertsements calculated TO mislead not
only the judgment Of public men but
public opinion of the country itself.
There IS every evidence that money
without limit is being spent TO sus-
tain lobbyists, create an appearance
and to bring pressure Ia create public
opinion nntgonistic to some chief item
in the tariff bill
1T is cf serious interest TO the coun-
Try that the people at large should
have TO lobby and be voiceless in
these matters while great bodies OF
astute men seek To create artificial
opinion and 10 overcome the interests
Of the public for their private profit
II Is thoroughly worth the while Of tho
people of the country to take knowl-
edge Of this matter-only public opin-
ion can check or destroy it,
