Quoting the presidents declaration
that the republican party had not had
Il new idea in thirty years, the sena-
tor asked
Where has this Rip Van Wrinkle
slept the last thirty years who now
rubs his eyes and says the republican
party has not had new idea in all
that time? The great national statutes
Of thirty years have sprung from the
councils of that party. He cannot dis
tinguish between the morning light
of republican SUNRISE of things do
ing and done, and the dusk that Is
falling on the democracy"
"rho president recently admitted

said at the outset, that the demo-
Gratis are minority party and that
they are still on trial The returns Of
the last November election indicate

Draws Comparison.
Referring TO President Wilson's
election "by minority" when the
majority was divided, the senator
said
"If three men he in a race and two I
stop and quarrel. the third can walk |
to the goal and win. But let not the |
victor exult in his speed for he won /
not on his own swiftness, but by the |
quarrel Of his adversaries. The less
shall he invoke his deceptive strength
to justify legislation to which his add
versaries are both opposed. For when
his adversaries shall see what has
been wrought by President Wilson

Attack on Senate.
"The president assaults the United
tates senate in language the senl-
