mr PLAN FOR
CUHG RENT
SHARKS IN D. C.
Effort will be made in the Senate
Thursday to dispose of the confer
ence report on the emergency food
hill, known as the food production
hill. At the same time. Senator
Hoke Smith will endeavor to adopt
a new method to secure legislation
relating to profiteering in rents in
the. District
It is possible that the Senate will
recede' from the Pomerene rental
administration amendment to the
food bill Thursday.
If this is done, it will pass the
food production measure, which in
cludes the dry amendment
New Conferees.
Senator Smith has coma forward
with the suggestion that thli be done
and at the same time that new con
ferees be named from the Senate and
House District committees on the
Pomerene rental administration bill
and the Johnson bill.
This, he thinks, would dispone of
the personal controTersy arising from
differences between Chairman John,
son of the House District Committee
and certain Senators and would result
In legislation nfralnst profiteering.
Senator Smith Informed the Senate
that no agreement had been reached
on the Pomerene amendment by the
conferees on the food production bill.
The House conferees, led by Chair
man Lever of the House Committee
on Agriculture, stand out ag-alnst tak
ing up rental legislation for the Dis
trict In connection with the food bill.
The whole matter will be threshed
out In the Senate Thursday
Senator Smith. In submitting the
matter to the Senate, pleaded for
prompt legislation to shield the war
workers In Washington from the
greed of the profiteers.
Pomerene Aarreeable.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, author
of the Pomerene amendment. It agree
able to the Smith plan, but there Is a
question whether the House, which Is
much under the Influence of Chairman
Johnson In such matters, will name
new conferees.

Yesterday, when she first heard

NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct.
29. Perhaps the Jolllest German
prisoner the Americans have yet
captured Is a forty-two-year-old
orderly with" a well-rounded em
bonpoint, who was slightly
wounded above the belt In fighting
northeast of Verdun. He Is now
In one of our hospitals.
"I am too old and entirely too
fat to fight," was the plaintive
comment of the German. "That
American barrage fire yesterday
was terrible. Not even a cootie
could have escaped In It. There I
was standing out like a sausage
balloon, and three minutes after
your artillery started up I got
punctured."

"In a way," ha writes, "I am glad
that It happened that way, for I rat

From all accounts, the most eagerly sought-for ciga

Fatima's known popularity with both officers and men

UP G. 0. P. TACTICS
In a second letter to tha. Cuyahoga
county (Ohio) Republican committed
Secretary Tumulty has set forth some
of tha appeals -for retention in power
of the Republican party made during
the administration of Taft. Rooserelt
and McKlnlor. The latter foUows:
Gentlemen:
In tar letter to Too, answering- your
Inquiry with reference to the Presi
dent's menage to tha American peo
ple. 1 called your attention to the
following staftmtnt mad by Senator
Penrose on the 22d of October, 1S9S,
as reported In tha Phlladalnhla In
quirer:
"In a few hours President McKlnley
will be your guest to witness the
greatest pageant tha country has
ever known. In his recent speeches.
the President has asoealed not to a
party, but to a national spirit. He
asks the aid of a nation. He seeks
the support of every man who ia
lleves In the result of his adminis
tration. I make this appeal to you,
that you give loyal support to Presi
dent McKlnley and the Republican
party in the spirit ha has asked for
it."
Fenrose Campaigned.
Senator Fenrose evidently had In
mind, when he -referred to recent
speeches, a series of speeches made
by President McKlnley appealing to
a national spirit at that time. I
find, upon examining speeches of
President McKlnley, contained in a
volume published by Doubleday and
McClure Company, entitled "Speeches
and Addresses of William McKlnley,
March 1. 1897. to May 30, 1900," the
following appeals by President Mc
Klnley to the national spirit of the
nation.
In a speech delivered at Boone,
Iowa,, October 11, 1898, President Mc
Klnley said:
"This is no time for divided coun
cils. If I would have you remember
anything I have said in these desul
tory remarks, it would be to remem
ber at this critical hour in the na
tion's history we must not bs di
vided. The triumphs of the war are
yet to be written in the articles of
peace."
In a speech delivered at Carroll,
Iowa, October 11, 1898, President
McKlnley said:
"Just at this hour, although hos
tilities have been suspended, we are
confronted with tha gravest national
problems. It is a time for the so
berest Judgment and the most con
servative and considerate action. As
wa have stood together in the war,
so wa must stand together until the
results of that war shall ba written
in peace."
In a speech delivered at Creston,
Iowa, October 13, 1898, President, Mc-
liiniey said:
"Mr fellow-cltlzena. I want to leave
one more thought with you, and that
Is, as we have been united and there
fore strong and Invincible In tha war,
we must continue united until the
end of this struggle: wa must have
no differences among ourselves while
we are settling differences with an
other government. Whn we have
raada that settlement in the Interest
of Justice and civilisation and hu
manltXiiihen-We-can resume our do
mestic differences."
In a speech delivered at Springfield,
IIlv October 15, 1898. President Mc
Klnley said:
"Now, my friends, what wa want is
to hate no dispute or difference
among ourselves to interfere with our
united Judgment in dealing with the
foreign problems that are before us.
As we stood together In war, let us
stand together until Its settlements
are. made."
I do not Interpret these speeches of
President McKlnley. I leave it to his
friends who claimed to speak for him
at that time. Just what he had in
mind when he. voiced these utter
ances. nooserelt to Front.
I call your attention also to tha
following extracts from a letter writ
ten by Theodore Roosevelt, then
President, to Hon. James E. Watson.
M.C.
The letter is dated at Oyster Bay,
N. Y August IS. 1908.
"If there were only partisan issue
Involved in this contest I should hesi
tate to say anything publicly In ref
erence thereto. But I do not feel that
such Is the case. On the contrary, I
feel that all good citizens who have
the welfare of America at heart
should appreciate the Immense amount
that has been accomplished by the
present Congress, organized as it is
and the urgent need of keeping this
organization In power. To change the
leadership and organization of the
House at this time means to bring
confusion upon those who have been
successfully engaged In the steady
working out of a great and compre
hensive scheme for the betterment
of our social. Industrial, and civic con
ditions. Such a change would substi
tute a purposeless confusion, a vio
lent and hurtful oscillation between
the positions of the extreme radical
and the extreme reactionary, for the
present orderly progress along the
lines of carefully thought-out policy.'
II U Second Attempt.
On September 9. 1908, from Oyster
Bay, N. Y.. Mr. Roosevelt wrote in
part as follows to Hon. William B.
McKlnley, chairman of the Repub
lican Congressional committee:
"It Is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public Interest, to
elect Mr. Taft arid a Republican Con
gress which wilt support him: and
they seek election on a platform
which specifically pledges the party,
alike In its executive and legislative
branches, to continue and develop the
policies which have been not merely
professed but acted upon during these
seven years. These policies can be
successfully carried through only by
the hearty co-operation of the Presi
dent and the Congress In both Its
branches, and It is therefore particu
larly important that there should ob
tain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr. Taft would be a ca
lamity to the country; and it would

ba folly, while electing him. yet at
tha same time to elect a Congress
hostile to him, a Congress which, un
der the Influence of partisan leader
ship, would be certain to thwart and
baffle him on every possible occasion.
"To elect Mr. Taft and at tha same
time to elect a Congress pledged to
support htm Is the only way In
which to perpetuate the policy of the
Government as now carried on. I
feel that all the aid that can be
given to this policy by evry good
citizen should ba given: for this Is
far more than a merely partisan mat
ter." On August 20. 1910. President Taft
addressed a letter to Mr. McKlnley,
as chairman of the National Con
gressional Committee, giving reasons
why voters in the November election
should cast their ballots for tha Re
publican candidates. It read in part,
as follows:
"In view of the history of the
present Congress, the return of a
Republican nvajorlty in tha next Con
gress may well inspire confidence
that the pledges still unredeemed
win bo met and satisfied."
The above I quotations speak for
themselves. Sincerely yours,
JOSEPH P. TUMTJLTT,
Secretary to the President.
