Peril to General Plan.

Il believe that while this power is
being exercised under the interstate
commerce power of the Constitution
with a view to promoting navigation,
action upon detached portions of the
waterway question will result in the
creation of obstructions to navigation,
in the construction of costly works
which in time il may be necessary abb
solutely to obliterate. and constructive
work in full waterway development for
other purposes will be obstructed and
delayed
Il am also opposed to this bill be-
cause for years we have been acting
upon only detached portions of this
subject. Although the democratic
party, now responsible for all legsla-
zion. seven years ago indicted the re-
publican party in the most vigorous
expression for inactivity upon this very
question. in platform which une-
quivocally called for broad and compre-
henSive treatment of the entire ques-
tion.
Il protest, therefore. against further
legislation upon individual phases of
this question. upon detached portions
of this question. for when the inter
ested parties are secure in what they
want. j fear they will obstruct the full
call upon the republican party TO re-
deem its pledges made under Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration. call upon my
associates in the democratic party to
redeem their pledges and to go before
the people in the next campaign with
at least one great constructive measure

Why He Opposes Bill.

In announcing that he would vote
against the bill, senator Newlands
said:
Il feel that this bill, operating as il
does only upon detached portion of
the waterway development of the coun-
try, will. if posed, serve to put the
development of waterways in a strait
jacket in the future.
Il think the fault with our lesisla- =
tion heretofore has been that we have
taken hold of only detached portions
of the waterway question, instead of
treating il fully, broadly and compre-
henslveiy with a view to developing z
every beneficial use of water and with
a view to mitigate every destructive
effect of water l think the large
problem is the one that should be
taken first. and logically it includes all
these detached portions, and that we
should consider the whole first instead
of considering the parts first. If we
consider the whole problem we will
necessarily include the parts.

luton as passed at the recent meet

He said the resolution simply pro-
vided for a pledge of support to the
nominees of the party regardless Of
relisi ion. He compared it to reso-
luton that might have been adopt

ago providing for all electors to
promise to support the nominees Of

on gold and silver.
