Consideration of the 80 called conservation bills in the house re-
Gently developed in a clear and most uncomplimentary way the slav-
ish adherance of western Democrats to party rule. 1t furnished a
complete answer to those who have urged that Democratic represen-
tahon from Wyoming at Washington could be depended on to stand
by the state, regardless of the party's attitude" In this vital legis-
ahon every western Democrat either savishly did Is he was told or
.sidestepped the issue by being absent when votes were taken. For
years past western Republican members have not hestated to take
Issue with their party on any detail of legislation they believed to be
unfair to the west. Mr.. Mondel has invariably and without excep-
ton taken issue with the leadership of his own party with regard to
western land and water legislation whenever he believed they were
wrong, and other western Republicans have done the same. In this
and the previous congress, however, western Democrats have meekly
bowed to the yoke of party domination. No matter how much these
western Democrats may later privately complain and critcise legisla-
ton proposed by their party known to be against the interests of the
west, the official record shows these same Democrats placed their
party allegiance above their duty to their constituents-and this is
the kind of representation western Democrats are claiming we ought
to have everywhere. During the present session, but for the opposi-
ton of Mr.. MondeI and other western Republicans, the iniquitous
provisions of the waterpower bill, in deprivng settlers of their prior
rights and in depnving state of the revenues therefrom, would never
have been referred to or noticed by western Democrats.
