WHO Is TO BLAME FOR
CHARGES OF SECTIONALISMl

In reply to criticisms of the Demo
cratic press that Governor Hughes As
waving the bloody shirt and stirring
up sectionalism in his remarks on
control of the national government
by the South, Representative Fess, Oh
Ohio, chairman OF the publicity com
mittee of the National Republican
Congressional committee, has given
out the following statement:
THE Democratic press editorially
takes to task Governor Hughes foI
calling the countrys attention TO the
~sectionalism OF the Wilson admins
tration. 1t denies the fact of section
alism-the editorial writers lack in
formation-thats all.
mo man who knows would deny
that the Underwood bill retains dd-
ties upon southern products-cotton
goods, rice, tobacco, Angora goat hair
etc., and places twenty articles of ag-
riculture on the free list-all north
ern products. That is sectional legis-
lation.
If any citizen calls attention tC
these facts he is at once accused b.
Democrats of raising a sectional Is
sue. This Congress is responsible fol-
this sectional spirit. The Congress.
sional Record of June 3. 1916, record:
some interesting data. BY special or
der of the House previously mace
Representative Aswell, of Louisiana
was given a stated time to eulogiz'
Jefferson Davis as one of the coun

ed to grin and bear, but say nothing.
1t is in keeping with Wilson's state
ment in Philadelphia: I look across
the Potomac from the White House
and view my country
"On March 1st. the Congressional
Record gives an interesting item of
the same import. Both the 63rd and
Gath Congresses had witnessed efforts
to do away with the element of 10y
atty as a necessary condition for the
southern claimants to establish a
damage arising during the Civil war.
This proof of loyalty has been stead
lily adhered to. On March 1st, when
the House was considering the sub
ject of captured or abandoned prop
erty,' an amendment was offered as
follows: Provided, that no claim
shall be allowed any claimant unless
it is proved that the original owner
was loyal to the u. S. government
during the Civil war This amend
ment was rejected upon a standing
vote, ayes So, nays "a A motion was
then made to recommit the bill TO the
committe on War Claims with in
structions to report back with an
amendment requiring loyalty as a
condition for any claim. Upon this
the yeas and nays were ordered BY
Republican members. BY a vote of
1877 to 40 loyalty was again made a
requirement. OF course the Solid
South voted against il. They were
joined by forty-three northern DEM
ocrats, five of whom were from Ohio
Allen, Ashbrook. Gordon, Key and
Overmeyer. Neither Brumbaugh,
Gard nor Crosser voted. Seven of the
forty-three came from Indiana-Barn-
hart, Cline, Cox, Dixon, Gray, Lieb
and Morrison. Neither Adair. Rauch
nor Cullop voted. All the Democrats
from Kansas voted against requiring
loyalty.
"The committee on War Claims
which has charge of these matters
has fifteen members, nine Democrats
and six Republicans. OF the nine
Democrats six are from the southern
states, including Chairman Gregg, Of
Texas; of the three from northern
states two voted with the Democrats
against loyalty. One Joined the Re
publicans in their demands for loyal

"In the 63rd Congress, Mr.. Under
wood, taking advantage of his posi-
ton as floor leader, secured passage
through the House of a special act,
granting a claim without reference
to the loyalty. This was carried after
the most determined opposition by
Minority Leader Mann This was the
opening wedge. In the light of recent
legislation of the most wasteful char
acter, where the federal treasury is

There are several good reasons. but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from

SAM A As
A FRIEND OF LABOR

There is no other place in Nevada
where the friendship of Sam Platt
for organized labor has been so thor
oughly attested as in Winnemucca.
The railroad men of this city are on
record as endorsing his action in Sc
curing the passage of the fellow SER
rant act known as Assembly Bill No.
10. introduced in the Assembly Janu-
airy 26, 1905. This bill was entitled
AN Act defining the liability of per-
sons, receivers or corporations oper-
ating railroads and street railways
to employees for injuries, defining who
are vice-principals and defining who
are follow-servants."
This bill was endorsed by all labor
organizations in the state of Nevada
and was introduced by Mr.. Charles G..
Smith, of Humboldt county. The final
vote was taken on February If. 1905
and the bill was carried by a vote
of % to IA. Mr.. Sam Platt voted with
the yeas. But it was not this that
gained him the singular and honor
able distinction of receiving a vote
of thanks from the railroad organiZa-
tons. 1t was something more potent
than mere moral support. Mr.. Plat
was speaker of the Assembly and, in
the course of the hearing on the
floor, he was confronted by a para.
doxical situation. A motion to indefi-
nitely postpone had been made. One
of the members moved that the mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone be laid
on the table. Mr.. Plat, as Speaker,
had no option, so he put the question
to a vote of the House. The motion
prevailed and carried with it the
measure on which so much depended.
In other words, the friends of the bill,
in an effort to defeat the motion to
postpone, had unwittingly sidetrack-
ed their own bill for that session.
The more the speaker thought of the
effect, the more he was convinced
that the ends of justice could not be
properly served by asserting to the
action without placing the subject
matter squarely before the Assembly.
| The greater part of the evening was
spent in looking up parliamentary
law, which confirmed Mr.. Plat in the
conviction that a square deal" re-
quired a further understanding. Ac-
cordingly when the Assembly ON
vened next morning he arbitrarily
recalled Assembly Bill No. 10 from
the table where it was supposed to
be consigned for the remainder of the
session and enlightened the friends
of labor on the real significance of
their action on the previous day. As
Stunning the broad ground that the
vote had been cast on a misunder-
standing the minutes were corrected
and the bill resurrected and placed
on its way to final passage. The lobby
was furious, but the advocates of the
bill were elated and two days after
the final passage, Mr.. Sam Plat re-
ceiyed from the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen at Winnemucca, a
telegram OF congratulation.
