clared had assailed him in this fight,
and in referring to the charge that
he was "bolting the President" he
exclaimed:
'Merciful Cod What an idiotic
phrase"
Throughout his speech there was
not dull moment. Repeatedly he
was cheered and the echoes Of the
plaudits rang through the reverberat-
ing halls of the Capitol in frequent
waves.
The Speaker talked calmly when he
referred TO the Baltimore convention
and recalled how he had led In the
Presidential nomination for 20 ballots,
and when he told his colleagues he
was mindful of the fact that his
course in this crisis might mean the
end OF his public career, there was
no evidence of regret nor of alarm
In his voice or demeanor.
When he declared that he was not
candidate for the Presidency and
could be happy without IL, he inter-
rupted himself with a chuckle that
brought more applause.
The Speaker said he had no harsh
word to speak of any of his colleagues
who had criticized him, but he refer
red 10 some of them, Representative
Henry of Texas. who led the fight for
the clomre rule on the repeal bill
Representative Sherley and Represen-
tative Hardwick, who aided in that
fight
The House was moved to uproar-
ious laughter when the Speaker said
referring to Mr.. Hardwick:

Georgia is concerned, say Shoe
fly, don't holder me- Shoe fly, donr
bodder me-
Il was several moments after thi.
humorous disposition of the case o.
his party adversaries before tn,
Speaker could resume, because th'
House sat back and roarded, theI
roared again with laughter. Even
Mr. Hardwick laughed and those VIII,
had come expecting 20 listen to a po
Z litical diatribe remained to laugh anS
I cheer with the others.
There is glory enough for all,

his Democratic colleagues, 'and Will

The House listened attentively Il

road and the Tehuantepec National
Railway would most profit by toll
exemption, and his eloquent appeal
again yielding anything to Great
Britain.
Rises to Climax.
"We built the Panama Canal" the
Speaker shouted in the climax of his
speech. I'VE built it on American
soil. We have fortified IT, We will
control il. We built il primarily and
almost entirely for our benefit, and
secondarily for the worlds benefit. 1
would rather see the canal walled up
than give Great Britain control of it.
| had rather see it filled up with
granite boulders than to yield one
iota of control over it to any foreign
nation"
This was the signal for the oppo-
nents OF tolls repeal to open up their
strongest batteries of applause, and
the chamber rang with the din of
cheers and shouts for several mo-
ments.
InYOkes Divine Guidance.
Almost prayerfully he concluded,
lowering his heavy voice to say. Now

When order could be restored, Rep

and closed the long debate.
