be fully understood.


My views on this question have,
perhaps, been more often misrepre-
sented by the opposition press of my
state than those Of any other senator.
The Republican and Progressive pa
pers, without the slightest founda ton
or authority, were quick to assume
and boldly pronounce to the public,
that because l reside in Garden City,
where we have the only sugar refin-
cry in the state, would vote against
the clause in the bill providing for
free sugar after three years, and
would eventually vote against the en-
tire bill, If 1t included this provision.
The Republican press seems unable
to get over the idea that every sena-
tor must be guided only by local con-
ditions.
There is so much good, and SO ut
tie bad, in the bill, that | do not be-
lieve any Democrat would be justified
in voting against it, simply because
it may not meet his personal views,
or the wishes OF his immediate CON
stituency in a few schedules.
l am not Influenced simply by what
is best for the people and the indus
try at my home city and county, but
by what is best for the industry and
the people generally throughout the
United States. The only difference
between President Wilson and myself
on this question arose simply over
the consideration of the length OF
time a satisfactory condition can be
brought about, considering the well
fare of the industry, as well as the
benefits to the people as u whole to
be derived from ultimate free sugar.
To meet my views introduced
in the Democratic conference an
amendment to the sugar clause
