skyline in the world in flames. You
see New York fall in the hands of the
enemy and the desecration that
follows
Then you are shown the way thai
such calamity can be avoided-tht
one way-but then you want to see il

Mr.. Slemp's Vote On Trade
Commission Bill.

There has been much discus
sion here of the article III Fri
days Bristol Herald Courier
about Congressman Slernp's
vote on the Trade Commission
measure. Mr., Trinkle asserted
in his speeches that Mr.. Slemp
voted against the bill, and tho
Herald Courier quotes Demo
cratic statisticiau in support of
the assertion. In Mr.. Slemp's
speech ut Abingdon he stated
that he did vote for the Trade
Commission act.
The statistician's letter says
that he voted against the bill
on June 5, 1914. The Demo
cratic campaign text book page
224, shows briefly that the
measure was finally passed
early in August, 1914, and
makes no reference to the early
vote in the House, cited by the
statistician.
The Trade Commission bin
was purify an administrative
measure, for the purpose of
readiusting the Bureau of Cor.
porations, as found desirable af.
ter the division of the original
Department OF Commerce and
Labor into two separate Depart.
ments. The bill originally pres
ented to the House was not
satisfactory to a great many
members, aud some voted
against it to voice their disap
prevail, others just let it 90, or
didn't vote at all. Practically
an entirely new bill was then
drafted by the Senate, and
when the latter was brought be-
fore the House from Conference
it was accepted by all members,
Congressman Slenp among
the number. 1t seems that he
considered only the Trade Com
mission measure as it now
stands enacted into law, and
not preliminary phases Of The
bill before it was adjusted into
more satisfactory shape from
his viewpoint.
