MOORE CALLS WILSON
LEADING FLOPPER
Pennsylvania Republican Arouses
Wrath of Administration Support !
ers-Rainey Resents Attack.

Some idea of the live times that are
! in store for the House when that
| body gets down to consideration of
the administration tariff commission
bill were given yesterday when Rep
| resetative Moore, of Pennsylvania, a
Republican, started a debate that
aroused the Democrats to a high pitch
of fury.
RepresentaHe Moore charged that
President Wilson was one of the
leading political "f1oppers" of modern
times, and he cited in support of his
| contention Mr.. wilson's alleged
| change OF front on Panama tolls; the
one-term declaration in the Baltimore
platform, and his recent espousal of
the proposal to create a tariff COM
mission.
Representative RaIney, an Illinois
Democrat, and one of the big SPELL
binders of his party, who will cham
pion the tariff commission bill in the
House, arose to the defense of Presi-
dent Wilson and his administration.
| The Illinois Democrat resented the
| attack made on the President by Mr..
Moore. 81 can understand the Difficult
| ties under which a stand-pat Republic
can like the gentleman from Penn
| sylvania labors in his attempt to dis
credit the President" shouted Mr..
Rainey. 'T want to say to the gem
tleman that he can throw as much
mud at the President as he pleases,
| and he is an expert along that line,
IL will have no more effect upon the
President and upon his policies than
it would to throw mud at the Wash
| ington Monument"
In the melee Representative Ebenezer
Hill, of Connecticut, who is known as
"Old Figgers," a regular OF regulars,
and Representative Lenroot, of Wlscon-
sin, a Progressive, chipped in long
enough to say that the Democrats had
changed front on the Tariff Commission.
that they were constantly changing
! front on other questions, and that's all
there was to IT,.
Mr.. Rainey ignored Messrs Hill and
Lenrot and pitched into Mr.. Moore. who
makes a daily habit of batting the
Democratic leaders on the tariff.
Mr.. Raiey said he favored the creation
OF a non-partisan board and that in
view of the changed economic conditions
that would confront the United States
with the close of the war, the President
showed great wisdom in indicating a pur-
pose to support such legislation.
Mr.. Rainey said that as a result of
changing conditions in Germany and
elsewhere the time had come when 1t
was necessary to create a non-partisan
tariff board to be appointed for the pur-
pose Of keeping pace with the approach
ing German tariff revision, and which
would put Congress in a position "as
to the changing conditions the world
over, which every one knows that this
war is going to bring about We are
going to give you Republicans an op-
portunity to stand on your own platform
or an opportunity to hop from your
platform. just as you see fit.''
