clear that Elmer Dawson, camouneur,
not only was the means Of saving .

After this DEPRESSION let us resume the

KITCHIN DENOUNCES
REPUBLICAN CLAIMS
AS MASTERPIECES OF Po-
LITICAL DECEPTION"
Party Made Capital by Saying
It Saved People of Coun.
trv S1,5OO.0OO.O0O.

Washington, June 27.-Statements of
republican leaders In the house that
their party had saved the people ST.
500. 100000 by eliminating democratic
extravagance" from supply bills passed
by the house this session, were de-
nounced on the floor today by Repre-
sentative Kitchin, democrat, North
Carolina, as masterpieces of political
deception"
The former democratic house leader
discussed at some length a statement
given out last week by Republican
Leader Mondell and declared ii was
rich in false impressions, wrong infer
ences, and bald mistatements OF fact"
But accomplished its purpose" he
said. 1.-THE republican press picked 1t
up and made great capital of 1t, spread
ing the false statement of republican
economy and retrenchment across the
front pages In bold headlines.
During the last session, the demo-
cratic house passed every needed war
measure and public supply bill. Their
enactment was not completed. But
why? Their defeat was caused solely
by the detestable, indecent filibuster
matie by the republicans In the senate
during the closing days of the session.
Now the republicans come and say
their efficient work has made epassage
of the bills poesihlea II the democrats
In the house had resorted to the tao
tics which the republicans In the senate
used, the bills could not have been
passed in six months"
Mr.. Kitchin was interrupted repeated
ly by applause from the democratic side
and jeers from the republicans.
