Here was evidence of the right spir-

money with them for the purpose of

That the plan succeeded is shown
by the fact that ia three months the

DEMOCRATS WILL
SUPPORT TREATIES

Washington, Feb. 5.-The prediction
that the Democratic party would
make gains in every state in the
North, East and West and would re-
trieve in the coming campaign the
ground lost in Tennessee and Texas in
the last election was made today by
Representative Arthur B. Rouse OF

nounced that the congressional COM
mittee reorganization would be COM
pleted within week.
eve have been proceeding energet-
ically," the statement said, "and have
about completed our organization in
each state. Our committee includes
in its membership a representative in
congress from every state in the un-
ion that has Democratic representa-
ton in the national law making body
There are now % states without Dem
ocratic representation. In all except
five of these have appointed prom
inent Democrat to represent the state
on the committee and the organization
will be complete within week.
"The committee also will have q
woman representative in each state
and about half Of these appointments
have been made"
Regarding political conditions
throughout the country, Mr.. Rouse
said that reports from every state
and many districts therein "indicate
that the people are not satisfied with
the present administration and are
especially displeased with congress
because there has been a complete
failure in redeeming the promises of
relief that were made during the last
campaign" He described business
conditions as "rotten," asserting that
they were worse now than three
months ago, and were continuing to
grow worse. The emergency tariff
law, Mr.. Rouse declared, has been "an
absolute failure" and instead of help
ing the farmer as it was passed "os-
tensibly" to do, 1--WE find farmers burn
ing corn for fuel and wheat selling
lower than when the bill was passed.
AS result of such conditions," he
concluded, 1--WE will make gains this
year in every state in the East, North
and West and will redeem the dis
tricts we lost in the last election in
Tennessee and Texas"

Law to Protect
Government From Insult

Berlin, Feb. 3.--The "Junkcr" press
and the Socialists of Germany are at
odds over proposed law intended to
protect members of the government
from insult and to prevent anybody in
citing others to violence against them.
Announcement has been made that
the government intends to introduce
a bill in the reichstag providing for
imprisonment and fine up to 100000
marks for persons guilty of "insult-
ing the constitution, the president or
any member Of the Central or Fed
Grated government"
The Socialists contend that the law
is necessary to protect the country
against violent and treacherous mon
archistic propaganda and chicanery
The Conservative and Nationalist
newspapers protest against it as an
attack on free speech and free
thought. They accuse the Socialists
OF outraging their own principles, as
they formerly fought against law:
which protected several royal person.
ages Of Germany from slanderous
statements.
The newspapers now opposing the
bill have ben wont to entertain read
ers with lengthy sarcastic or abusive
articles about the republican consti
tuition and the governments demo
rratic political leaders.
