TAKES TOLL OF BALTIMORE
DELEGATES ON TOLLS

Special to Daily Leader,
Washington, D. G., April lG.---One
or the greatest coups in the present
strenuous contest over free tolls has
just been made by Senator Gore. 1T
consists of poll taken OF the dele
gates TO the Baltimore convention to
ascertain whether they are with
President Wilson or against him in
his fight for free toll repeal bill The
plank in the Baltimore platform has
e cen the citadel the pent-up rtica
where Senator O'Gorman and his
friends have been taking refuge. They
have been emphasizing the inyioabil-
ty Of the platform. They have been
conjuring all democrats Ia cling to
this plank as if it We're the very soul
OF democracy,

astuteness assailed the opposition not

states are unanimous in support Of
the President.
This is the greatest triumph yet
scored by the forces of the admins

position. The letters are most graft

tary Bryan.
During the recent presidential cam

nickname of "Old Man Wisdom" This
coup has greatly enhanced his repu

HON. J B. THOMPSON

The Committee on the District of
Columbia, Of which he is member,
is considering his bill for the separa
ton OF the races in street cars and
the departments at Washington, and
such favorable impression has been
created as to insure its passage at an
early date. The District of Columbia
committee has reported and secured
| the passage of an eight hour day for
women in the District of Columbia,
and a bill abolishing what is known
as the Red Light district, where
vice was licensed. 1t has also secur-
ed passage of bill requiring the city
OF Washington to pay to the United
States Sl,003, ,237.64 whic.l has been
due the fededal government since
1878. 1t has exposed to the country
the fact that the tax payers OF the
United States outside of the District
Of columbia pay one half of the taxes
OF the District. amounting to about
seven million dollars annually and
that the people OF Oklahoma are re-
quired to pay S111654.G0 of this
amount For his activity in these
investigations he has been threatened
by the real estate dealers of Wash
ington with defeat if he seeks re-
nomination.
He was one Of the few democrats
who assisted in calling a caucus and
instructing the democrats in the
house to provide for federal inves
tieation into the deplorable conditions
existing in the mining regions Of
Colorado and Michigan, where the
working people were being murdered
BY hired thugs under the control of
imported detectives.
He is recognized as one Of the most
progressive members of the house
