way into the Congressional Record
The first. on June %, at page
fi272, was by Congressman Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee.
The second. on July 5. at page
1872. was by Congressman Richard
S. Greene of Massachusetts, and
concluded with a long editorial
from the American Reveille OF Bell
ingham. one OF the Perkins Press"
papers. Both these speeches were
in laudation OF Mr.. Humphrey.
The third. on July 20. at page
1888, was by Mr.. Humphrey him
self.
That the speech OF Congressman
Greene has already been ranked
out. ! know OF my own knowledge.
II is not open to doubt that all
OF this material went into the Con
gressional Record to he later print
ed and franked out to the voters
of this state.
In view OF the striking contrast
between Senator Poindexter and
Congressman Humphrey on this
matter, and the somewhat mislead-
ing editorial referred to, Il would
seem that the public is entitled TO
the facts. Very truly yours,
GEORGE II. WALKER.

Among other things. il said:
Exercised In behalf OF Mr..
Humphrey, II Is no less an
abuse than when exercised In
behalf Of Mr.. Polndester or the
president himself. In any case,
II Is an abuse that ought to be
stopped"

the nature OF campaign speech
either by himself or by any other
senator or representative in his
behalf, has gone out in this cam

is WILSON Plea
President Wilson Tells Senator Kern
He Wants to Aid
"Kiddies.

President Wilson yesterday made
what is considered direct move to at
tract the Progressive viote of the
country to his standard. when. with
out announcement. he dropped into the
Senate and discussed the legislative
program with Democratic leaders.
Child labor legislation is desired by
the President and he made known his
wishes in this respect to Senator Kern.
the majority leader of the Senate.
Child labor is sponsored by some of
the most influential Moose leaders
throughout the country.
The visit of the Executive was en-
tirely unheralded. He conferred with
Senator Kern and discussed legislation
with Vice President Marshall and SEN
ators Martin and Williams.
The President, IL is understood, was
insistent that a child labor bill be
made part of the legislative program
that calls for the adjournment of Con-
gress by August 1s. The bill was not
decided upon at the Democratic eau
Gus.
Republican senators and House mem
bers from the North are expected to
aid the majority in the passage of the
bill.
