R0ASTS REPUBLICANS
FOR TAKING CREDIT
FOR BIG ECONOMIES
Congressman Kitchin Denounc.
es Claims as Masterpieces of
Political Deception.

Washington, June 27.-Statements OF
republican leaders in the house that
their party had saved the people 81 $780,
600, 700 by eliminating democratic ex-
travagance' from supply bills passed by
the house this season were denounced
on the floor today by Representative
Kitchin, democrat, of North Carolina,
as master pieces of political deception" p"
discussed at some length statement
given out last week by Republican Lead
er Mondell and declared ''it was rich in
false Impressions, wrong differences and
bald misstatements of fact"
During the last session the democrat
ic house passed every needed war meas
ure and public supply bill. This enact
ment was not completed, but why ?
Their defeat was caused solely by the
detestable, indecent filibuster made by
the republicans in the senate during
Now the republicans come and say
their efficient work has made passage
of the bills possible"
Taking up each of the supply meas
ures in detail, Mr.. Kitchin declared the
reductions which had been made in them
was due, not to republican economic
but to democratic efficiency in running
the various departments.
1T is said that the republicans saved
$4OO 100000 in the army bill Alone" he
said, when in reality they didn't save
the people single penny in that meas
ure, nor in any other. The 100000 900
was made possible by the war depart
ment's splendid work in carrying for
ward rehabilitation faster even than
anyone considered possible last spring"
Referring to the naval bill, Mr.. Kitch-
in said the reduction was $4,000, 600,
"due to changed conditions" and not
$225 100000, as claimed by republican
leaders.
The S75O,OOO,0OO voted for the rail-
road administration was exactly the
same, to the letter aud figure" as the
democratic bill, Mr.. Kitchen declared.
The sundry civil bill was IAN actual
increase over that measure as framed
in the last democratic congress, despite
a seeming reduction of S3S4.O0O, O,OOO,"
Mr.. Kitchin declared

OPPOSITION ALL IN.

Fargo, June 27.-With 1906
precincts out of 1856 in the state
reported, the non-partisan league
laws voted on in yesterdays
referendum election, had polled
36,262 affirmative votes, with
35, ,628 negative votes cast.
Every county, with the pos
sible exception of one, in which
the opposition to the non-par-
tisan league expects a majority
has been reported. The missing
precincts are located in strong
league counties, or they are the
outlying rural precincts of other
counties from which partial re-
ports have been received. These
districts are regarded as certain
to increase the league lead.
On the basis of these returns,
which represent about IS per
cent of the total vote cast, it
was regarded as likely that the
non-partisan league majority on
all of the seven referred laws
would range around 10000.
Non-partisan league forces
still maintain they have assur-
ance of q $4,000 margin.
The nom partisan league. In the two
eastern tiers of counties has lost
strength; it has held it's own in the
north central section, but has lost heav-
ilv in the south central region. 1t has
retained its strength in the northwest
ern group of counties, but has lost ma
terially in the southwest region.
Cass, Richland, Grand Forks, Traill,
Cavalier, Pembina, Sargent, Wash,
Ramsey, Emmons, Logan, Mcintosh,
Golden Valley and Sioux counties are
listed tonight 40 being opposed to the
league In the last election only seven
of these counties cast majorities against
the league ticket.
In the Missouri slope counties, the
loss of Emmons, Logan, Mcintosh and
Morton county, which center around the
state capitol. constitute the most Sc
we're loss experienced by the league.
The vote on all bills is running very
close, and the difference between the
printing bill, which apparently is run
ming lowest, and the state bank bill,
which seems to be high, will be only
about three thousand in the entire state.
