England did not affect the so-called
"favored nation" clause in the exist
ing commercial treaties with Eng
land, France and Germany. The
point involved is the same raised in
opposition to the proposed Canadian
reciprocity agreement by those who
claimed it was practically forbidden
by tho "favored nation" clause.
A Washington dispatch, carried
by tho United Press says: "Charges
that 'there was something signifi
cant' in tho fact that the largest
contributor to the democratic con
gressional campaign fund was W. C.
Beer, alleged confidential agent of J.
Pierpont Morgan, this afternoon,
threw tho house into confusion.
Representative Good (rep., la.) was
discussing the Rucker bill for ante
election publicity of congressional
campaign contributions. He favored
more stringent provisions and some
law which would show the true
source of all contributions. 'I was
amazed to discover in the report of
the democratic committee that the
largest contributor was W. C. Beer
of New , York,' said Good. 'Beer
formerly lived in Iowa, and I know
him now as the confidential agent of
Morgan.' Several members on the
democratic side were instantly on
their feet, demanding further expla
nation of Good's statements, but he
merely reiterated them a second
time."
Hereafter speeches will not be
printed in the Congressional Record,
at least that is the program as now
outlined.
David Jayne Hill, of Rochester, N.
Y., ambassador of the United States
to Germany, has resigned his post.
The resignation has been accepted by
President Taft. Neither in Mr. Hill's
letter of resignation nor in the
president's letter of acceptance is
any reason given for the ambassa
dor's action.
enabled the democrats later to get
rid of the amendment, but twenty
eight of their number refused to
change their attitude, and stuck with
the republicans in opposing tho
democratic majority.
"The Rucker bill passed finally by
an unanimous vote, but only after
a stormy scene. The amendment
offered by Representative Jackson,
a new republican member from
Kansas, required all candidates for
congress to file statements of the
source and use of their individual
campaign funds, in both primary and
general election. The amendment
met instant support from the repub
lican side and encountered the op
position of the democratic leaders.
Mr. Rucker of Missouri, chairman
of the committee in charge of the
bill asserts that it would so change
the form of the law that its might
endanger its final passage.
"This did not deter fifty-two demo
crats from supporting the Jackson
amendment. They, with the solid
republican forces, gave the amend
ment a majority that resulted in its
adoption, 172 to 131; and the an
nouncement of the vote was followed
by a storm of applause from the re
publican side.
"There was a hurried conference
of democratic leaders and Mr.
Rucker moved to recommit the bill,
with its new amendment, to the elec
tions committee, with instructions
to send the bill back to the house
without the Jackson amendment.
"This parliamentary move to
squeeze the amendment out of the
bill brought about 'a spljt in the
ranks of the democrats who had

The .Washington- correspondent for:
the United Press says-: "Represen
tatlve. Sims,, (dem., Temu) declared:!
in the house that only in the in
terests of democratic harmony did
he refrain from offering a recall
amendment to the bill for direct
election of senators then pending.
Sims made an impassioned appeal
for the initiative, referendum and
recall, warning the democratic lead
ers that the time had come when
they would have to accept these
principles. 'The people should have
the power,' he shouted, to dismiss
their agent whenever it appears he
is not properly representing them or
serving their interests. There were
a number of supporters for the Sims
plan on the democratic side, Burle
son, of - Texas, being prominent
among them."

A Washington dispatch, .carried
by the Associated Press says: "The
democratic party met its first seri
ous trouble in the house of represen
tatives. At the close of a session
marked by insurgency in the demo
cratic ranics, Dy reason of which the
republicans narrowly missed scor
ing a triumph, the house passed the
Rucker bill for tho publicity of cam
paign contributions before election.
The fight arose over the extent to
which publicity should bo applied.
But for the vigorous and continued
use of the democratic party whip an
important republican amendment ex
tending publicity to tho Individual
receipts and expenses of candidates
for congress, would have been re
tained in the bill when it flmiiy
passed. '
"As it was, the amendment was
adopted over the protest of the
democratic leaders, by tho support
"fi"?-0 democrats who voted
with the solid republican strength.
