cusing the president OF inconsistency
In his views of the binding effect ol
the democratic platform, and charg-
ing that the "greed Of railroads, and
the audacious claims of Great Britain
seem far more potent With our presi
dent than the appeal of the woman
hood OF the nation, Senator Brlstow

woman suffrage in the senate into q
vigorous debate on the proposed re.
peal Of the free tolls provision OF
the Panama canal act.
Blistow's attack brought to the de
tense Of the president several re.
publicans and democrats, and served
also as signal for the opening of
the fight within the democratic party
against the repeal of the tolls 'eX-
emption provision. .
Chamberlain, of Oregon, democrat,
dramatically declared that he would
not "tsultify' himself by telling his
constituents that he had not kept his;
patform pledge on the toll question,
Because the president of the U. S.
does not agree with me-"
Meanwhile the president conferred
with leaders OF the house opposed to
repudiating the declaration Of the
party platform. AS far as was learn
cd, he did not convert them to his
view that the tolls exemption violates
the Hay-Paunccfote treaty, and eul-
barrases the administration in its
foreign relations. -0.
Bristow based his charge OF ln-
consistency against the president
on the ground that he told the SUI
fragettes he couldn't advocate their
cause because the democratic party
had not expressed itself in the mat.
ter, while he proposed that congress:
reverse itself OH the tolls question.
In this connection 'BristoW men-
toned that the platform favored a
"single presidential term" and asked
whether the president would Inter
pret this plank as in harmony with
his position on suffrage or the
tolls"

Breaks Loose IN Court
Room

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1S.-U. S.
Senator, Thomas Prior, Gore was ex-
Onerated Of charges OF improper con-
duct by a verdict in his favor in dis.
triet court In the suit for. fifty .tll0as
sand dollars damages, instituted by
Mrs. Minnie Bond, Oklahoma City. ),
The verdict was returned four min
utes after the case was given to the
jury. One ballot was taken.
''We find, the jury stated, that the
evidence submitted by the plaintiff is
entirely insufficient upon which to
base suit, and the said evidence
wholly ex0nerates the defendant; had
the defendant at the conclusion of
plaintiffs evidence announced that he
desired to introduce no evidence and
and had, rested his case, our verdict
would have been the same"
The trial began last Wednesday. In
her declaration Mrs. Bond alleged
that the senator attacked her when
they conferred at a Washington hotel
last March, in connection with the
possible appointment of her husband
as an international revenue collector
here.
The case went to the jury at 5:42.
Four minutes later a deputy was
summoned to the jury room. The
foreman told him the verdict was
ready.
A hush fell over the court room.
"The jury is coming ill.," whisper
ed Mrs. Gore, the defendants wife,
as she learned over and touched the
senator's arm. Good" responded the
blind senator, seating himself up.
right and listening, his face sober.
"We, the jury, find for the defend
ant" read the foreman. Then the
court room burst into cheers, rebel
yells, cowboy yells, cat calls, mingled
with stamping OF feet and clapping
Of hands. None tried to stem the
cheering. 1t rose, subsidized and rose
again., Judge Clark smiled.
After the demonstration had lasted
ten minutes the judge left the bench.
The court never adjourned, The
judge forgot it, SO did the sheriff.
Gore alone remained calm. The
crowd surged toward him. His wife
had her arms about him weeping al
most historically. Hundreds con:
graduated him The demonstration
lasted half an hour.
Mrs. Bond and her husband left
while the demonstration was at it's
height. Gore said the verdict "con-
firms my faith that truth will trl-
unph.' T.I"
Mrs. Gore was "tOO happy for
Words She was thinking now of
nv, babies and want to get homo to
them" President Wilson was one OF
the first to send congratulations to
Gore after the verdict was returned.
