LETTERS FROM CONGRESSMEN
Washington! D. C, Aug. 7, 1911.
Mr. J. M. Bowler, 501 Loan and
Trust Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of the
4th instant reached me this morn
ing. I have made no attack on Mr.
Bryan; Mr. Bryan made an attack
on me. I merely stated the facts,
on the floor of the house, that all my
colleagues knew.
When the free list bill was passed,
I placed in that bill, and reported to
the house, wire and cotton gins, two
important manufactures for my own
for one moment have I ever
resisted the consideration of the iron
and steel schedule. On the other
hand, before Mr. Bryan's interview
appeared I had instructed the clerks
of the ways and means committee to
prepare the data for tlje revision of
the iron and steel schedule. It is
now being prepared and if congress
stays in session long enough it will
be reported before we adjourn; if
not, in the December session.
I can not understand how any man
can truthfully assert, under these
circumstances, that I have refused
to revise the iron and steej schedule.
If I had allowed Mr, Bryan's at
tack in the newspapers to go un
answered, it would haye permitted
the country to reach a conclusion
that was not justified by the facts.
I send you a copy of the speech that
MR. BOWLER'S REPLY
Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 11, 1911.
Hon. O. W. Underwood, Washing
ton, D; C. My Dear Sir: I thank
you for your courtesy in answering
my letter of the 4th Instant and for
tho copy of your speech received.
To be frank with you, I must say
that you coldly present a lawyer's
case as one relying upon a friendly
court.
I might pardon you for feeling a
little sensitive at the brusque wnv in
which Mr. Bryan wtent after you;
but you, knowing what you have
related as occurring in your com
mittee, but which was not known to
the country, must have seen that
tho World-Herald dispatch upon
which Mr. Bryan based his Interview,
might, if not true, have misled Mr.
Bryan, and you as a good domocrat,
having tho common cause at heart
and desiring party harmony, should
have stated the fctcts as you under
stood them to Mr. Bryan, and thus
given mm an opportunity to revise
his interview, which he certainly
would have done if he believed tho
situation demanded It.
But instead of that von limim-
took to Impale him boforo his ene
mies, the good friends of the In
terests who are fattening upon the
very life blood of the people.
Further, from tho very first sen
tence of your speech, you branded
him as false a liar. Such language
always indicates a want of better
arguments. Besides, the people of
this country, even the predatory In
terests, know that Mr. Bryan is not
false but true as truth Itself to his
country and his people, oven to tho
letter and spirit of his party's plat
form pledges.
I am sorry, Mr. Underwood, that
you should have made such a raw
break as you did, for the country had
begun to think pretty well of you.
Your groat ability as a member of
congress was recognized and the
prompt dispatch of much needed
legislation by the house under your
leadership was bringing you promi
nently and favorably before the
country.
I sincerely hope that. you will find
some honorable way to retrieve your
great mistake. Yours truly,
J. M. BOWLER.
"undor tljo dome ot the capltolV but,
Mr. Bryan will rocolve tho thanks
of more than five xuflHong of people
and. this, I bollovo, Is the kind of
cheering that will count In the end.
Tho masHog of the people, Mr.
Underwood, aro with Mr. Bryan, and
have becomo so accustomed to pluto
cratic remarks liko those of your
own, that it has no effect on them. -Mr.
Bryan Is standing today whoro
he has always stood and is in a po
sition to command a larger following
todny among the common herd than
all you good follows down there put
together. Get right, Mr. Underwood,
nnd I will bo with you as strong as
anyone can be, but do not Imagine
that you havo Mr. Bryan down, for
such Is not the case others havo
thought as much before. Yours for
honest democratic rucccsh.

Miranda, S. D., Aug. 14, 1911.
Mr. Oscar W. Underwood, Chair
man Ways and Means Committee.
My Dear Sir: I am one of the
democrats who have been watching
with deep interest the new demo
cratic house, to see if there was to
be honest tariff reduction. At first
we had much faith in you as chair
man of the ways and means com
mittee, and wish to have that faith
yet, but commencing with the wool
scheduje, your works and arguments
have not been to our liking. I am
one, however, who wish to be fair
and not reach hasty conclusions. If
you with others, imagine that the
common people, and I happen to be
one of that class, will be easily
fooled, you should be undeceived.
If the Washington dispatch in the
Omaha World-Herald was true, I
am one who believe Mr. Bryan was
justified In making the charge
against you, if it is not true why do
they not make correction? Up to
this time I have not discovered any
retraction from that paper. W all
know Mr. Bryan and it will take
more than that fiery speech from you
and the plaudits of the politicians
to discredit him in the least 'You
may receive the cheers of those

up a statuo in your honor," said tho
