SEN. ME ENTERS
 JACKASS DISPUTE
Claims Flame" Fasteners Are Riding C. Q, P. to Disaster

New York. Jan. 13 tUP) P)-"Tamc JaCkass Party Leaders, are riding the republican party to 'ccrtain dis astr regardless of the praying and urging and advising of their wild jackass brothers.' in the belief Of Senator Gerald r. Nyc of North Da- Eota, one of the progressives to whom Senator George Moses of New Hampshire applied the epithet wild jaskass.'
 Nyc replied to Moses in a scath- ing address here on the subject: "The purposes of wild jackasses S from backward states" Their essen tial purpose. he said, was to secure fair play for the masses.
 'I will frankly confess that in a sense we westerners have been jack asses,' Nye said, Year after year we've gone on paying high tariff rates for the benefit Of New England and her industries. We remained jackasses long enough to SC our earnings siphoned from the west to the cast.
 JaCkaSsCs No Longer
 But, like Balaam. we've finally had our eyes opened and we've sworn not to be the East's asses any longer. And. having so sworn, We are not ready 10 help your east ern tariff makers decorate another Christmas tree and play Santa Claus to the fattened industries until we have secured something of equality at that tariff tree for ourselves"
 Nye also said that the power trust maintained force in the federal power commission that withheld facts from the commissioners in the interests of the trust.
 These men," said Nye, 'are the agents and tools Of the power trust and part and parcel of the trust"
 He indicated that the congression- al Investigating committee was to investigate this angle.
