WASHINGTON, July 13.-"Behind 1 the ostensible government sits en- throned an invisible government. ow- l ing no allegiance and ac.1nowledgins ! nc responsibility to the people" de cIares the progressive national plat form. The trail of this invisible gov ernmenU in and out of the halls Of 1 congress and elsewhere about the
 national capital and throughout the cOunEr seems at last to have been uncovered partly at least. through the astounding confession of Col
 onel' Mulhall who was for years one of it's active agents in Washington and elsewhere.
 Colonel Mulhaus confession in wolves the names of many men who have been prominent in congress and in recent years and of some who are still members Of the senate or the house. Both democrats and repub- liCans are in his list. Of course the republican names greatly outnumber those Of democrats for during the days of AIulhalls activity the repub- llcans were in power in both branch es of congress and although the in visible government impartially en- trusted it's interests to democrats and republicans alike. it naturally dealt chiefly with those who were in con troI and had the power to giv.. effect to it's legislative desires.
 Among republicans, Colonel Mulhall names the late Vice President Sher- man. who was for years a prominent leader in the house; Ex-speaker Can non; and MT. Dalzell of Pennsylvania MT Payne of New York MT. McKin- ley and MT Mann of Illinois. and MT iohr portant cogs in the Cannon machine Special emphasis is laid upon the activity and friendliness of former Congressman James E. Watson, of Indiana. an especially important member of the Cannon machine in the house and the leader of the Taft forces at the republican convention in Chicago last June. Former Repre- sentative TawneN, of Minnesota, em- inent distinguished republican ma chinist, is also favorably mentioned. along with Burke and Bates, of Penn sylvania; Denby and Diekenla, of Michigan; Fassett. Fairchild, Maltby and SouthWick, of New York: Gard Ter, of New Jersey. who was at first in opposition but was afterward con Verted;" Parker, of New Jersey, who headed the judiciary committee after
 
 kinS, of Wisconsin, was defeated: Overstreet, of Indiana, d once vaIu- able member of the Cannon machine: Fordney. of Michigan, the great standpatter of the Saginaw district: I3urleigh, of Maine; Foster and Has kins. of Vermont: Cooper, Moon and Moore. of Pennsylvania; Bartholdt of Missouri cheerfully described as all right, all the time;" and the late Sidney Mudd, of malifluous Maryland memory Former Senator Foraker, of Ohio, is prominently mentioned and the old Viking of Minnesota, knute Nelson. comes in for a share. Senator Lodge is referred to pleas antly for friendly assistance and for mer Senator Aldrich. long time the republican boss Of the senate; the late Senator Carter. of Montana. and former Senator Hemenway. of In- diana
 The democrats fare materially bet ter. as befits the situation of a min Ority party. McDermott and Rainey. of Illinois. receive the chief com ment although Swager Sherley. of Kentucky, is also mentioned MT. Sherley has taken cognizance Of his own inclusion in the affair by de- a special investigation by the house supplemental to the inVeS- tigatior which the senate through it's lobby committee is now making. An other distinguished democrat. Speaker Clark. of the house, is also men toned. but in way entirely com the lobbyist reporting his complete inability to influence the eminent Missourian MT Clark has promptly confirmed that part of the lobbyists confession referring to him. as to the desperate efforts made by the invisible government to defeat hIm in 1908 and 1910
 Two prOgreSSiVes come in for cOm- ment similar to that about Speaker Clark, former Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, and former Congressman Pearre, of Maryland. The lobby hav-5 ing failed to influence them. devoted itself vigorously to attempts to de- feat them. Other democrats fought by the lobby were Senator Hughes, of New Jersey; former Congressman kelleher and Connolly, of Massa ,hu- setts; Wilson, of Illinois: Nichols.
