LOBBYISTS SHOULD
CHANGE THEIR METHODS

Senator Thomas, a democratic sen
ator from Colorado, has had the
courage to denonunce the Hobbies
which infest Washington. This al
ways has been an unfavorite thing;
a bad thing. in fact, but 1t is Ave
times as bad today as ever before
in the history Of the republic.
The average lobbyist now does
not ask these senators and represen
tatiyes TO give him a hearing, to
give him an opportunity to make
an argument for his cause. He pur-
sues his work with threats. He
tells the member or senator that
he represents million votes and
that his million voters are pledged
to stand by their friends.
1t is all right for special interests
TO be represented in Washington,
but it should be made statutory
crime for any man to seek to pro-
mote legislation by making threats.
The average congressman of eth
er Of the great parties desire to do
right and is anxious TO serve the
best interests of all the people and
he should be treated like a gentle
man.
Lobbyists have grown to be dis
graceful. kilograms by the THOU
SANDS pretending to represent pub
lie sentiment are sent TO members
IN almost every case misrepresent-
ing the facts.
There should be revolt. The
members of congress should assert
themselves and tell these lobbyists

business or reform their methods
