Gagged and Bound by
the Machine.

The Senate bill to provide temporary
method of popular election or onlted
States senators. considered by the House
today, was the vehicle for a political lee
ture given the House democracy ny
Representative Murdoch of Kansas, the
leader.
Mr. Murdoch told the House that the
100 or so democrats who came into the
present Congress as new members nad
been tiled, gagged and bound by the
leaders, and that they were the helpless
creatures of the machine He advised
them and the independent-minded men IN
the democracy to revolt at tonights eau
Gus and assert their individual indepen-
dence and call for open, public caucus,
free from machine domination.
Says They Clog the Calendars.
He said the House democrats had
clogged the calendars and had travel
ed circles around the tariff and the cur
rencv and that they had hog tied
themselves on the national primary
bill, which the President had urged.
Representative Henry advised Mr.
Murdoch not to be alarmed over the
democratic course; that it's legislative
program was in the interest of the
people. and that there was no differ
ence between the interest of the peo-
ple and the democratic caucus. He
praised the wisdom of the administra
ton and it's policies.
