G. 0. P. HOUSE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON
ARE ENGAGED IN APPLYING "GAG" BOLE
Methods Of Cannon Regime Again In Vogue—"Steering Committee'
Cracks Party Whip—Republican Leaders Told
Where They Were Heading.
(From the Washington correspondent of The Jeffersonian)
The party whip and "gag" rule are being employed by House majority leaders in their efforts to discredit the Wilson administration. The old tricks of the Cannon days did not compare with present-day Republican tactics.
Representative E. W. Pou, ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, during the debate on the special rule for the peace resolution, told 'the Republican leaders just where they were heading.
"If you adopt this rule," he said, "no amendment of any kind will be in order. Once again we are back to the old order of things. What a spectacle! For two days the so-called peace humbug will be debated. Not an 'i' can be dotted or a 't' crossed."
This indictment was greeted with applause from Republicans.
"I am not surprised that the Republican side of the aisle, from which there was so much opposition to the war, should applaud again when you are playing Germany's game, for that is what you are doing," said Mr. Pou. "After all, you are proposing to enter into a treaty of agreement with Germany, but you must take the so-called peace resolution in its entirety, no matter what your views may be. This situation would be humiliating to the members of the House if they did not remember that all legislation is subject to the control of four members of the Republican 'steering committee.' "
Senator Lodge had indicated to House leaders what they should do, and they did it.
In conclusion, Mr. Pou said: "A more incompetent Congress than this never assembled under the dome of the Capitol. You have talked and talked and killed time and done
nothing but defeat the treaty and play politics. With perfect confidence, we submit the work of President Wilson to the American people."
In their fear and hatred of the President, some of the Republicans have stooped pretty low. In the Congressional Record of Tuesday, April 6, page 5676, in the remarks of Representative Mason of Illinois, there appears this line, "That is when he (the President) got sick. (Applause on the Republican side.)"
The Republicans applauded the declaration that the President' collapsed on his Western speaking tour in behalf of the peace treaty.
Recalling the incident, Representative Cantrill, Democrat, said, "Ah, gentlemen, has the great Republican party come to that? I do not believe the people out in the country are that way. Great God, think of it! That the representatives of the Republican party here on this floor are cheering and applauding when one of their members says that the President of this nation has been stricken and is on his sick bed. I presume had 'the same gentleman announced that he had been stricken and was now at the point of death, which, thank God, is not true, the Record would have shown cheers and prolonged applause on the Republican side.
Democratic leaders in Congress charge "Old Guard" Republicans with blocking ratification of the woman suffrage amendment by Delaware, believing they fear the woman's vote in the Presidential election.
"There is a persistent belief! that the Republican leaders fear the effect of women's participation in this year's election," said Senator F. M. Simmons of North Carolina, who added he believed women's participation would be to the advantage of the Democratic party, largely because their sympathies are with the administration's attitude toward the peace treaty.
Owing to the fact that new machinery is being installed in the plant of THE JEFFERSONIAN, the management has been compelled to leave out important news matter, and correspondence letters which it was utterly impossible to handle under the circumstances.
New presses have been installed, and while this work was going on we were obliged to make use of a contemporary's plant, and part of our own equipment.
THE JEFFERSONIAN asks the indulgence of its readers and its correspondents, until it will again be able to give "all the news that's fit to print."
