The ballots cast in the Districts election OF
delegates to the Chicago convention have not
yet been counted but since the head Of one of
the three tickets in the field announces that this
was the "rottencst election that could be held"
speculation as to the probable winners may
safely be confined to the other two.

The wonderful tribute paid yesterday by
men Of all parties in the House of Representa-

A resolution has been introduced in the
House calling on the Secretary of the Treasury
to state whether or not the government is losing
about 5000, 10000 year through income tax
lodging Mr.. McAdoo is not likely to admit it,
but if he does Congress logically may put the
whole problem of raising the necessary add-
tional revenue up to him.

The cabled denial that James NJ. Sullivan

Editor of The Washington Herald:
/ have read with painful concern your
editorial OF May 4. 1915, entitled
Twentieth Century Treason" l can
not conceive why you denominate
chose heroic II misguided leaders of
the recent Irish rebellion. who faced
the firing squad in the Tower of Lon
ireland, and their rebellion born of
infamy and madness" You also seem
to think that because England is now
at war their "treachery'' was greater.
1t is possible that you know the
history of Ireland since the first in
vasion under Henry VI. and give ut
tersnce to such sentiments? Your
views can only be excused through
ignorance of the facts. too many to
set forth in a communication like this.
Suffice it to say that the present
union" of Great Britain and Ireland
was the result of conquest, maintained
through the centuries by cruelty, op-
preston, injustice and hardships
which form one OF the most abhorrent
and repulsive pages in the history Of
Christian civilization. Irishmen owe no
more allegiance to the British flag
than the Belgians. Servians or Monte
negrins do to the Teutonic powers; nor
that the Poles do to their triple de-
prescription runs neither in favor Of
nor against a nation.
Not Traitors.
l know l express the opinion of the
best Irish stock here and elsewhere
when l say that no Irishman is a
traitor to Ireland who strikes a blow
at the union now existing between
Great Britain and ireland, wherein the
lAar IL 1t
merged, and out of a total membership
of thirteen hundred England has one
thousand English votes. And. mind
you, this union was effected through
what Leckie, the historian, calls the
most gigantic fraud in history. In
view Of the treachery of the past
should you wonder that millions of
Irishmen believe that Redmond would
better have merited the gratitude of
his countrymen had he taken, at the
outbreak of the war, a firm stand. and
demanded that not an Irishman enlist
or a voice be raised in the cause of
England until justice had first been
done his native land, instead of agree
ing to postpone the operation of his
Imitation home rule bill until Ireland
had proven her loyalty to the uniqui-
tious partnership through the blood of
her sons on the soil of Europe.
Compared with Washington.
II Easement, Pearse, Clark and Mac
Donagh are traitors to ireland. then
Robert Emmett, Wolf Tone. and John
John Mitchell. grandfather of the present
mayor of New York, were traitors to
Ireland. But they were just such
/ traitors as George Washington was.
and have never heard IL said that his
treachery was greater because at the
| time that he struck the blow England
was engaged in a life and death strug-
! gle with France. He deemed that an
excellent oportunity, but he was sue
/ cessful and there is the difference

were not wise, and they are untof-

words, their names will be enshrined
in the hearts Of lrishmen through all
the ages to come, side by side with
those OF Emmett. Tone, Lord Edward
Fitzgerald and the Manchester mar
tyrs. And believe me, there are mil
lions of men of Irish blood in this
country and in Ireland who believe
that the real traitors to Ireland are
those who are lighting Englsnds bat
ties upon the heights and plains OF
Europe, just as the American tories
strove to retain British dominion in
this country.
You seem to be under the impression
that this uprising was a failure be-
cause of the loyalty of the Irish to
the union. I draw no such conclusion
from the facts and circumstances.
Thousands of Irishmen rise in revolt
against British power in Ireland; hun
dreds OF lives are willingly, cheerfuny
sacrificed; the dispatches tell us that
thousands more were in arms ready to
form in line had the attempt in Dublin
been successful. Yet these men were
engaged in what is conceded to be an
utterly hopeless. futile and impossible
attempt to overthrow the present gov
ernment
The Final Reckoning.
What might have been the result
had there been a fighting chance And
does it follow, because wiser heads re-
fused to unreasonably' sacrifice them
selves, they were loyal to the govern
ment? l think not. and when the CEN
sorship is raised you may have a diff
ferent story to write. 1t is proven,
however. that no make-shift home rule
measure, grudgingly passed, will
satisfy the aspirations of the Irish
people, and when the final reckoning
comes these same mad-cap irrecon-
cilables must be reckoned with, and
the blood so willingly but hopelessIy
shed today will inspire the leaders OF
the hereafter, and warn their oppo-
nents that so long as full, complete
and adequate justice is withheld more
martyrs are ready to follow in their
footsteps.
1t is not for me or any man outside
of Ireland to dictate what the Irish
at home should do, but we all have a
right to our sympsthies and mine are
with the Sim Feiners. You will dc
