brazenly, and he was in possession of some information concerning the oth- CT lobbies. But he did not know how completely the Invisible Govern ment" had blanketed the visible gov ernment. He did not know that the same agent who .boasted of his ability to influence the Speaker of a Repub- hcan House of Representatives and the presiding officer of a Republican Senate, stopped to bribe g. page to ransack the waste paper baskets in Congressmen's offices in the hope of securing valuable information.
 These facts might have never come to light if the potentates of the high finance had not broken with one of their tools. Whatever the source of the information, however, it's value to the American people cannot be ques- toned.
 The duty of Congress in the prem ises is plain. There must be a search be permitted to escape. Corrupt Democrats must share the same fate as corrupt Republicans. In fact would be inclined to deal a little more relentIessIy with the Democrats on the general theory that the people expect more of them than they did of their opponents
 At the risk of suffering the fate of most political prophets want to predict that Invisible Government will be one of the paramount issues in the Congressional campaign of 1914, and that if the Democratic party's position on this question is in harmony with popular opinion our triumph in that election will be even more complete than was our victory in 1912.
