mary NOMINATION. OF Sena-
tors having in effect taken the cleo
ton out Of the hands Of the legisla-
tors nearly 20 years ago, whereas up
to last winter deadlocks in State leg
islatsires elsewhere have produced
scandals galore. Mr.. Bryan went on
to allude to the secrecy of voting in
the Australian booth. It was evi-
dent that we-so progressive in some
phases of popular government-had
THAT system, the Australian ballot.
It was notifying to reflect how diff
ferent is the system with us. 1t is
|maryelous to note the pronounced
progressivism of this State in many
respects and its ultra-backwardnes
lin others. This is an anomaly we
shall be frequently struck with in
ltraversing the field of needed re-
forms.
Another suggestion mode last fall
was that the voter should present his
Registration certificate, which the
managers of the election would
stamp, so as to destroy it or to pre-
vent its being used again in that cleo
ltion. This is to prevent duplicate
voting, whether by the holder of the
certificate or by another to whom he
may give it. But the same safeguard
is accomplished in the general cleo
ton now by the fact that each voters
name is on the book with the number
which his certificate bears, and when
he votes the managers write his
name on the list which they keep of
all persons voting (the "popp list"),
80 that no other could vote upon the
same certificate without appearing

and obstruction which ought not to
be carried too far), or if stamping
were merely to show the date of each
election at which the certificate had
been used and leave it still good for
the next election, the managers
would be under the necessity Of crit
lcally examining all the stamped dat
es, which would not only consume
much time but would afford oppor-
tunlty for errors. The stamping is
thus accompanied with serious incon-
venences and hardly has real use.

HALE-AND-HALF PLAN
APPROVED IN SENATE
Senator Martin Declares He Will
Fight With All His Power
Against Change.

Any assaults which may be made upon
the half and-half principle of appropriate
ing for the District Of Columbia, whereby
the federal government provides half the
money required and the District of CO.
lumbia the other. will be met with vigor
by opponents of any change in the exist
ing aw in the Senate.
Senator Martin of Virginia, chairman
or the powerful appropriations commit
tee of the Senate and also member of
the Senate District committee, declared
| today that he would fight with all his
force attempts to do away with the half
and-half principle should they reach the
Senate.
Fair and Just to All.
Il believe that the half-and- half prin-
ciple of appropriating for the District of
Columbia is fair and just to all parties"
said Senator Martin.
This plan has worked well for more
than a quarter of a century, and / see
no good reason for changing II at this
time. In fact, l see every reason for
continuing it,
The proponents of any measures which
seek to break down or modify this plan
of appropriating for the District will have
to show the members of the Senate some
very convincing arguments before the
senators will be willing to approve these
measures
Washington. the National Capital,
should be the most beautiful and progress
sive city In the world. 1t is only possible
to bring this about drought the assist
ance of the federal government.
Burden Is Too Heavy.
THE citizens of the District could not
possibly bear the burdens of the i'm
provements and upkeep of the National
Capital. If these burdens are placed en-
tirely upon the shoulders of the citizens
here. the capital necessarily will 60 back
ward instead of forward or the citizens
will be ground down and ruined by ex-
cessive taxation.
II believe that the just portion of the
governments contribution to the expen-
ditures of the District is not less than
half of the total amounts expended 1t
is to the interests of all the people of
the country to continue this plan and to
maintain the beauty of the capital city"

Other Plans Are Proposed.

A number of expedients are under con.
sideration. Former Senator Sanders OF
Tennessee is willing that the committee
itself should make the desired change In
the basis of representation. He suggests
that at its meeting tomorrow it adopt one
of the plans prepared. and that the plan
adopted then be submitted to the re-
publicans of the states for the ratitica-
ton.
Another plan is that of a western
committeeman. who desire that the
committee place itself on record by
resolution as favoring a change of rep
resentation and in favor of holding a
convention in 1915 instead of 1914. He
argues that there is a quiet getting
together of republicans in almost every
state in the nation; that the holding of
d convent. on early in 1914 would hinder
rather than help this movement; that
the party will be in position in 1915
inteliigently to handle the situation.
Many of the committeeman would not
object to a 1914 convention if it were not
for the fear that discordant elements
are to be injected into it. They would
willingly agree to a change of represen-
tation and to recognition of state pri-
mary laws, but they are convinced that
the leaders of the so-called progressive
wing are determined to rob the national
committee of practically all its powers
and to foist a new set Of declarations on
the convention. II this could be avoided
thew would surrender their own views
and vote in favor OF holding convention.
Dinner to Outline Plan.
No definite plan will develop from
these varying opinions until the din
ner tonight. 1t will be preliminary
conference. from which some positive
plan of action is to spring. II an
agreement should then be reached that
a 1914 convention Is unavoidable. the
motion to that end Will be put through
the committee at its meeting tomor-
row without delay. II not. tomorrow's
session will be an animated one.

HITCHCOCK SAYS OWEN
'D0CTORED' THE RECORD
Nebraska Senator Resents Publish
ing of Criticisms Not Made
in Debate.
Oklahoma Colleague, After Reread-
ing Them Into Record, Has Pre-
vious Statements Expunged.

Rising to a question Of personal privi-
lege, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska to-
day asserted that Senator Owen Of Okla
homa had put into the Congressional
Record several sentences and paragraphs
criticising the senator from Nebraska
and disappearing him, which Senator
Owen did not say on the floor of the
Senate. The debate referred to by Sena-
tor Hitchcock took place last Thursday
during the consideration of the currency
bill.
Senator Hitchcock demanded that he
and other senators be protected from
such supervisors of the record. He moved
that these remarks of Senator Owen, IN
serted In the record by him and not
made on the floor of the Senate, be ex-
plunged.
Senator Owen replied that he consid-
cred himself entirely justified in the in
terlineation which he had made in the
record, since these interlineationS merely
amplified the ideas which he had ex-
pressed on the floor of the Senate, and
really did not add anything new to the
debate.
Read Into the Record.
He declared that it was the custom of
all the senators to correct the record
and that he had done no more than this
senator owen lDe0 Tedu lIilo Tic iceoi u
one of the paragraphs to which Senator
Hitchcock had objected. He followed this
up with harsh criticism of Senator Hitch
cock as a democrat. In conclusion he
asked that the motion OF the senator
from Nebraska be adopted. Without dis
sent the Senate adopted the motion, and
the interlineations made by Senator owen
were ordered expunged.
Although the senators criticised each
other in strong terms. the debate was
iod and cauAeG little eX-
citement on the floor of the Senate.
Declares Practice Unusual.
In presenting his motion to expunge
the record, Senator Hitchcock said, re-
ferring to a paragraph inserted In the
record by Mr.. owen:
The whole paragraph is fictitious; 1t
was written and inserted by Senator
Owen the day after he made his speech.
This paragraph is only one OF the
changes made. l ask that all be cor
rected.
ITO write and insert in the Record as
a pretended part of a speech an attack
on a senator or any one else is an abuse
of the privileges of the Senate. such
instances are rare in Congress. L re-
member only one case during my serv-
ice in the House, and that, on order OF
the House, was promptly corrected by
expunging the false matter, as ] ask to
have this expunged. as we'll as other

the report of this same speech by Sena-
tor Owen.
