ing Policy of Republican
Administration.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 16.-
The democratic congressional cam
paign i'm the middle west was open
ed Thursday night by Chairman
Hull, of the national committee with
an address i'm which he declared
'aimlessness and inaction' TO be the
controlling policy of the republican
administration.
Speaking before the Indiana dem
ocratic editorial association, he as
serted that republican leaders with
all their falsehoods exposed and all
their promises broken" were pur-
suing "a rudderless course while the
people continue 10 cry out for re-
lief" He added that Gin the mean
time the Lodges, the Newberrys and
those Of their ilk in control Of the
republican party are having their
frequent political Bellshazzer feasts
i'm the nations capitol"
He alluded to the arms conference
several times at one place declar-
ing its proceedings and achievements
ito have been grossly exaggerated"
anu dl dUOlutI tildISIUg luHL the
republican administration through
the conference had surrendered
more Of our national sovereignty
than has been previously surTend
cred i'm more than a hundred years. %
Several time he referred 10 the
address recently made by Vice
Pres't Coolidge in indianapolis and
criticized the vice president for what
he described as his GORGEOUS
blunder IN his claim OF
congressional economy and his
deadly silence on the Newberry
scandal which took place under his
very nose.
Before beginning discussion Of the
arms conference Mr. Hull paid his
respect to Sen. Lodge, declaring his
tOrtuoUs course in politics IS most
remindful Of that Of Cataline. the
political conspirator in the Roman
senate, while his stat esmanship most
nearly resembled that of Aaron
Burr"

KENYON BILL TO

DIES IN SENATE
Author Declares Amendment
Added TO Measure Has Null

NO ACTION is EXPECTED
Proposal Embodied Aims of
Labor Conference and Had
Harding's o. X.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16 - The
senate late Thursday recommitted
to its labor committee the Kenyon
bill TO give the president power TO
speed up in slack times and retard
in prosperous times the construction
of public works as an aid to unem-
ployment conditions The action
was taken after an amendment had
been adopted which Sen. Kenyon,
republican, Iowa, said destroyed the
measure 1t was believed that the
return Of the measure to the com
mittee meant its death.
The amendment was offered by
Sen. Harrison. democrat, Mississippi,
and would exempt from the provis-
ions Of the bill all river and harbOr
development. flood control and eX-
penditures on irrigation projects. 1t
was accepted by a vote Of % to 26
with party lines broken.
Sen Kenyon said that the amend
ment left only public buildings and
good roads within the scope Of the
bill. and afte~ the enactment had
been adopted moved TO recommit
the bill to the committee. as he said
it was evident the bill had been de
strOyed and the amendment had
been supported with that view in
mind. His motion 10 recommit was
accepted by vive voce vote.
The bill is the last which Sen. Ken
Won said he expected to press for aC-
ton i'm the senate before retiring TO
take up his duties as a federal cir
cult judge.
Bipartisan opposition developed
when the measure was first called up
and grew stronger as the debate de-
veloped The principal objection
was that the measure gave oppOrtu-
nifty for destroying rather than sta
tilizing the coUntry's economic life.
Support for the bill had come from
many sources throughout the coun-
try. chambers of commerce and
other bushes groups and associa-
tiOns having urged its acceptance.

1T is the view of the Irish sigma
tories of the treaty" he said. that
an Irish republic had been set up by
the Irish people at the elections
and that the republic could only be
converted into a free state by the
decision of the people. We don't

The objects of the proposed cleo

so, sensible parliament in Ireland. q"

1T is perfectly clear that the re-

the position Of Britain, standing on

if others were found on behalf Of
