There is no doubt about the fact that

Many members showed a great deal of

members OF congress. These members
see millions and millions voted every
year for the army and navy. for mill
tary posts and navy yards. for all pur
poses of government And they want
a share. Our people want part of
this golden stream from the treasury

that a ma ajority would not have voted
