not violate his conscience is that
any excuse for violating his plat

neither his conscience nor his plat

Now, see what he says he ought

Why, Mr.. President, If that state
ment were enacted into law, II II
were followed out, there would not
be a quorum either in the House
OF Representatives or in the Senate.
That is not all, Mr.. President.
There would have been vacancy
before this in the White House and
the man who occupies the presiding
officers chair in this Chamber would
now be President of the United
States.
Why, Mr.. President, in all of that
memorable campaign one of the prin.
cipal things that | heard was the
denunciation of the methods by which
those in Office had permitted trust
magnates to escape. From every
platform, from the very housetops,
was proclaimed the doctrine that the
| guilt of trust magnates must be made
criminal the same as of the man
who steals horse or robs a store
That was the pledge. That was the
doctrine. Why you seemed then to
be imbued with sort Of "kaock
down-and drag-out' spirit. You seen
ed to be work ny along the lines OF
"swallow-'em whole. eat.'em.alive'
inclination Il almost seemed as ths
every Democratic cnmpaigner mus
eat and swallow whole before break
fast every morning at least one or
binary sized trust in order to keel
himself in good physical condition
Your doctrine was that il you wer
put into power you were going L
compel these men to look through
the bars. You promised it to the pee
, pie. But now, when you are In o.
flee and have the power, you ar
suddenly smitten with heart failure
J You become merciful now to the me
} that you before condemned an
, whose practices you said you woul
, make criminal; you pat them on tn
: back now, and say, Il will forgiy
the past. Go, and sin no more"
5 Why, you were good deal like
t regular Sherlock Holmes when
< came to Furnishing Republican lay
4 breakers, but you have become

S ents when it comes to looking aft
n Democratic lawbreakers.
Representative Gillett recently e

tives by giving in detail the differeI
o new offices, with the salaries in eat
