METHODS OF THE BLACKMAILER
Says Nebraska Representative Slan
dered Hoaorable Men on the
Strength of Anonymous
Statement.
WASHINGTON, July 2B.-In a bitter
speech In the house today, Representative
Humphrey of Washington, republican.
replied to Representative Norrls of Ne
braska, who yesterday concluded a
speech in which he condemned the re
cent Chicago republican convention and
charged that the delegates from the state
of Washington had been obtained for
President Taft through political corrup
tion. Mr. Humphrey disavowed any per
sonal knowledge of the manner in which
the delegates were selected, saying be
was not at home at the time.
"But I do resent the attempt of the
jentleman from Nebraska, Mr. Norrls,"
he declared, "to reflect upon the honesty
and Integrity of a large number of the
citizens of my state by quoting the opin
ion of some man whose name he Is not
Willing to give. The gentleman In his
speech said In substance that a certain
gentleman of wide acquaintance and of
high standing, whose statements wowa
have great weight with the members of
this house and of the country and who
was conversant with -all the facts, had
stated to him that the delegates from the
state of Washington to the republican
national convention were absolutely
stolen." .
Mr. Humphrey recalled the fact that he
wroeatedly , called upon Mr. Norrls to
name his authority. Mr. Norrls. be said
had declared the man in question was
m v. i , a n-.A jl s
a supporter or rrssiaent iiut
candidate for office and for that reason
had refused to permit the use of his
name.
Evidence Not Competent
Referring to the fact that Mr. Norrls
once had been a Judge, Mr. Humpnrey
asked him what he would think if he
(Humphrey) should accuse a fellow mem
ber of the house of being a scoundrel
and a criminal and when called upon for
proof, refused to name his Informant,
except that he was "a man of na
tional reputation, a man whose truth the
house could not doubt

In vehement language Mr. Humphrey
condemned those who charged nolitlcal

camp of their opponents, "while onceallng
the truth about their own party and their
own candidates."
"This seems to be the logic of the posi

In conclusion, Mr. Humphrey referred
to the statement ot Mr. Norrla that those
who had supported Mr. Taft 'had cW
stroyed the republican party. He rntorted
with heat that it any man had done
more to destroy that party than Air. Nor

costly monuments to his ' memory and
sing his praise In song and story down
to the last syllable of recorded time.'"

attack. Mr. Norris sought to Interrupt,
but unavallingly. When Mr. Humphreys
concluded Mr. Norrls sought time to
make reply, but former Speaker Can

two years ago, had charge ot the time
on the republican side and declined to
yield the floor. Mr, Norrls was forced
to postpone his reply.
Norrls Gets the Floor.
Representative Norris finally got the
floor on democratlo time. He launched
into a defense of all his charges with ref
erence to the elections In the state ot
Washington.
"I am not going to take up the time of
this house or anyone else," said Mr. Nor
ris, "to reply to a man who resorts to
such disreputable, uncourteoua and dis
respectful methods."
