by the republican leaders, who are
looking ahead to the 1920 campaign.
Representative Longworth will be sin
gled out because:
First. He is a dependable party
man, aggressive in debate for party
principles, but not inclined toward ar
rogance or vindictiveness-
Second. He has for years been q
close student Of tariff questions, and,
as q member of the ways and means
committee, has assisted in framing
important legislation along this line.
Third. He is very popular among
his colleagues and has not made ene-
,nies on either political SIDE of the
House.
Fourth He is geographically well
located and his leadership is expected
to increase the growing strength of
the republicans In the middle west.

Now. here is the reason why Repre-

In the recent ~"tions two amend
merits were adopted:
First, a proh,oi .on amendment was
adopted to the state constitution.
Second, an amendment was adopted
to the effect that any amendment to
the Federal Constitution must be SUBJ
nitted to the direct vote of the peo-

Railroads Control Greater Part.
Mr.. Neale told the committee that
75 per cent Of the anthracite Is con-
trolled by railroad companies, and that
the roads make it practice to handle
only the products from their own
mines.
He named the Philadelphia and

NATIONS ASKED TO !
OUTLAW B0LSHfV|K|'
TO PUT AN END TO RUSS
TERRORISM.
In View Of Desire of Americans to
Help Russian People, the Gov
ernment Feels That Reign of
Terror Must Be Ended.

Washington. Mortified by the
bloody reign Of terror in Russia, the
United States has called updp all
allied and neutral nations to cons1der
what they may do to Impress upon the
BoIsheviki the aversion with which the
civilized world regards their wanton
crimes.
BY direction Of President Wilson,
Secretary Lansing dispatched instruc-
tons to every American diplomatic
representative in the foreign capitals.
The action aligns the United States
with that of Great Britain and France
In declaring the Bolsheviki responsible
for the murders, crimes and excesses
which have shocked the world outlaws
and public enemies.
Whatever, action may be decided
upon by the nations, separately or in
concert, it is made clear, will be quite
apart from the prosecution Of the war
against Germany.
This is the text of the state depart
ment's instructions to the American
diplomats:
This government Is In receipt of In
formation from reliable sources reveal
ing that the peaceable Russian citizens
of Moscow, Petrograd and other cities
are suffering from an openly avowed
campaign of marked terrorism and are
subject to wholesale executions. Thou
sands of persons have been shot with
out even form Of trial ill-adminis-
tered prisons are filled beyond capa-
city and every night scores of Rus
sian citizens are recklessly put to
death and irresponsible bands are
venting their brutal passions in the
!. daily massacres Of untold innocents.
in view of the earnest desire of the
people of the United States to befriend
the Russian people and lend all pos
sible assistance in their struggle to re-
construct their nation upon principles
of democracy and elf-government, and
acting, therefore, solely in the inter-
est Of the Russian people themselves,
this government feels that it cannot be
silent or refrain from expressing its
horror at this state of terrorism. Fur
thern,ore it believes that, In order to
check the further Increase of the in
discriminate slaughter of Russian citi-
zens, all civilized nations should reg
lister their adherence of such barbar-
Ism.
"You will inquire, therefore, whether
the government to which you are ac-
credited will be disposed to take some
immediate action which is entirely de-
void from the atmosphere of bellig-
erency and the conduct Of the war, to
impress upon the perpetrators Of these
crimes the aversion with which civ
ilization regards their present wanton
acts
