VOLUME: 12; NO. 70. CALAMITY HOWLER MAKES BIG MISTAKE| Representative. Cullop Proves Truth of Statements Made in Speech Re- garding Industrial Prosperity. HUMPHRY QUESTIONS ACCURACY Telegram Settles Dispute—Farmers Produce This Year. Receiving High Prices for Their By Congressman C. H. Tavenner. Washington, July 20.—Represen- tative Humphrey of Washington, who is one of the chief calamity howlers on the Republican side of the house, made a serious mistake the other day when he made some disparaging re- marks about the industrial prosperity existing in the con- gressional district of Representative Cullop, Democrat, of Indiana. His speeches proved to be a boomerang, and it has served to silence some- what those Republicans who are at- tempting to make political capital out of dast spring’s slackness in busi- ness, Mr. Humphrey animadverted im- mediately after a prosperity speech which had been delivered by Rep- resentative Cullop. In this speech Mr. Cullop dwelt in glowing terms upon the prosperity in his district and declared that there had never been so much work and money mak- ing there before. Humphrey, it seems, questioned the accuracy of this speech, and con- sulted a Republican leader of the dis- trict asking about conditions. As 2 result he was able to reply to the Cullop speech next day, and in hig reply he declared that on the very day Cullop delivered his address the largest factory in his district, Showers Manufacturing company, f Bloomington, Indiana, closed down. This announcement came as the a great surprise to Mr. Cullop, but he did not reply at the time. he own. Instead started an investigation of his to chirp again. Then he waited for Humphrey He did not have to wait long. The “joke” on Cullop was too good for Humphrey not to keep on rubbing it Consequently, during a general ‘‘prosperity” debate one day last weak Humphrey again commiserated Cul: lop on his misfortune in making a prosperity speech on the very day the biggest mill in his district closed down. Furthermore, Humphrey said, in. this was characteristic of all the Democratic speeches declaring times to be good. The Democrats, he said, are whistling to keep up their cour- age. It was exactly the opportunity - Which Cullop needed. The house had been wrangling over the condi- tions of business for two hours, and Humphrey's remark had been the most telling blow delivered from the Republican side. Cullop obtained the door and without preliminary comment read the following telegram signed by a member of the Showers Manufacturing company: “Hon. W. A. Cullop, Washington, D.

The Democrats cheerel enthusiastically. After lecturing Humphrey upon assassinating business character and standing of firms without making adequate in- vestigaton, Cullop read a letter from a Republican farmer in his distriet telling about the high prices farmers are receiving for their produce this year. “If this is the kind of the calamity the Democrates furnish, I say con- tinue to give it to us, keep it up,” wrote this farmer. “What is his name,” asked Repre- sentative Good, Republican, of Iowa. “Simeon Edwards,” replied Cullop, “a man who never voted the Demo- cratic ticket in his life, but who will do so this fall.” T S O | ol oo ofeofe oo oo b o b o o oo ol b oo b o ONCE PRIVATE, DIES BRIG- ADIER GENERAL.
