Replies by Senator Lodge and # Senator Penrose were forthcoming almost as soon as Senator Stone had | concluded his attack. Senator Lodge | spoke first, saying, in part ‘I can understand that the Sena- tor from Missouri could find reason to make the speech he has. I hope that it will be as grateful as he de- res it to be grateful in the quar- ters he seeks to make grateful. “The record of the republicans of the congress, of the house and of the senate is a record of Americanism far above partisanship. :The repub- licans have voted for every bill to convey to the president of the United States the powers he deemed to be necessary in the waging of this war. He has received the support of the » republicans ungrudgingly, in answer to his requests for money and for the powers to raise money upon govern- ment obligations. “So staunch has been the co-oper- ation of the republicans in response to every suggestion of the president and so free from partisanship has | been their conduct that there are | . measures desired by the administra- | tion which would have failed had it | not heen for republican. | b = have been no since last April and be any while this war lasts. | Senator Lodge reviewed the repub- lican record in the present congress further and uttered a blanket denial | of Senator Stone’s assertion that there was any politics visible or in- visible in the congress of the United States. Then he turned to - ere party there votes cast will not of certain of the functionaries whom President Wilson has placed in fice. Did Not Select Best Democs “While organizing the resourcces and industries and material forces of the nation for the war it might have been well to avail of some of the intelligence ability of the na- tion well,” said Serator Lodge. bl T the cont ution of a party representing at least one-half the people of the United States has been confined to the giving of its lives and its wealth to the cause of the nation. This is not in criticism of the presi- dent not going outside of his own party in making his selections; it is that he has failed to avail himself of the best there is within his own party. “There is a twilight zone in which there are dwellers of tennous politi- cal affiliation. These wanderers from one political party to another are sometimes designated the ‘mavericks pelitics” They are men who sel- dom have anything to them, except the vari own politica 1s 1 ol these wandercrs permit themscl ats. and of tion of their reco erved | parti the criti- | cism of the weakness and inefficiency | of- | recommend | NEW BRITAIN be branded almost invariably by some one who can admit them to green pastures and comfortable stalls. They have naught to commend them but their insignificance. My criti- cism of them does not run on party lines.” enator Lodze referred to the re- cent investigation of the sugar and coal situations by the committee on manufactures fairminded and much needed inquiries of a situation which required the limelight of pub- licity if the people of the United States were to know and understand the reasons for the sugar famine and | the coal shortage. Then he turned to the more investization war department shortcomings by the committee on military affairs. Investigation of War Department. wrhat committee,” he said, ‘“has done a great work. 1Is this congre to stand by in silence when such procession of blunders as those d closed at its hearing goes pouring past? The senator from Missouri has referred to the blunderings and weakness of organization in our war department disclosed by the Spanish- American war—mistakes were made in that war and President McKinley, without even requiring an investiga- ) tion, changed his secretary of war. “The efforts of the committee on military affairs have revealed much ' that cries for remedy, but little of our shortcomings, which are, with- out doubt, known to our enemics as to ourselves. Compare the dis- closures which the senator from Missouri seems to consider as fur- nishing aid and comfort to our en- emies with this order for the stop- page of all industries promulgated by ihe fuel administration, which must have its detrimental effect just as quickly and far more extensively in proclaiming our administrative short- comings as does anything which has been admitted by the witnesses be- | fore the military committee. It is not well to speak of the minor harm the knowledge to Germany of the deficiencies disclosed by the investi- gation of the war department has brought about when we have the im- potence and the failure which the deplorable fuel order presents di- rectly in evidence.” Senator Lodge told the Senate he would not dwell on the criticisms of | Colonel Roosevelt, which Senator | Stone had made the foundation of his speech, but that he would have this to say for the ex-president: “He has made mistakes, and he has done great things, and he has done a vast variety of things; but in all the things he has done, in all of his activities he has never had any secrets from the American people. He has offered his own services to the nation. He has given four sons to the military service of the United States, and at the moment we are speaking of it he has three of those sons on the Flanders front. “Of the general terms of the tack of the Senator from Missouri, in which he has mentioned criticism of the President or the acts of the Ad- ministration as acts of treason, I might ask of the Senator why you do not prosecute Colonel Roosevelt? He is visible. It cannot be said that he is not audible. It can also be said that he is readable.” Appoinment of Col. House. recent of a at- The Pennsylvania senator then to the head of the American mi to Paris, as the president’s personal representative. “It’s a strange doctrine,” he con- tinued, “that we have personal gov- ernment in this country. Wilson is not the American government. I | never heard of the president sending a personal representative. I have heard of kings and kaisers doing it, but it is not good democratic methods. He referred to Col. House as “the mysterious traveller whose expenses are paid from the contingent fund. Senator Stone interrupted to de- fend Col. House, whereupon the Pennsylvania senator asked how the Colonel got his military title. A roar of laughter swept the galleries. Be- fore the Missouri senator could reply Senator Lewis explained it was ob- ained by once having been a member of a governor’s staff. Senator Penrose rejoined he was sure if Col. House had an opportunity he would be another “Napoleon, or a Ceasar” but added his “principal line seems to be keeping under cover more than going over the top.” “While it was not necessary for the senate to confirm Col. House it was necessary to confirm all expldsive in- spectors,” he continwed. “I was told in cold blood, by the bureau of mines, they would be appointed by demo- cratic state chairmen. That doesn’t chime in with the views about non- anship in the war” Penrose’s Speech. Senator Penrose followed Todge with a speech in a les re- Col. on ferred appointment of House, Senator serious vein. During Senator Stone’s address the Pennsylvania Senator had | rupted several times. One of these when the Missourian declared Rogsevelt, apparently, could say which less important persons might say only by subjecting them- | selves to arrest. Then Senator Pen- interrupted him with words tumbling out, demanding: “Does the or advance the | traordinary doctrine that every citi- | zen hasn't the right to say what he | thinks of Mr. Wilson, without going | to jail? Does he say citiizens haven’t | the right to say Mr. Wilson surrounds | himself with persons so incompetent | that the war program has been seri- | ously delayed, or that he hides him- | self away inaccessibly?” | “I did not say that; T will explain,” | Senator Stone calmly replied. “The Senator ought to Senator Penrose retorted. ‘It’s a rc- markable doctrine to say that any- body cannot criticise Mr. Wilson with- out going to jail.” During his denunciation of Col Roosevelt, Senator Stone’s vehemence mounted and he strode into the center aisle shouting his words with clenched fist upraised. After citing Shanks at St | Presic Senator inter- was Col things | rose Se: e explain,” the arrest of Mr. Louis for criticising the again in- nt.

It was unjustifiable and an outrage an impressive illutration of the high | handed methods of the administra- tion.’ Saying he would like to help Sen- ator Jones “elucidate his argument,” Senator Penrosc declared Private BEr- nest L. Snyder at Camp Taylor, near | Louisville, Ky., had been sentenced to ten years at hard labor and dishonor- ably discharged for “villifying the president and objecting to the dra law. Nothing has occurred in Russ of a greater outrage.” “Is the senator going to present any proof that Col. Roosevelt a republican?” asked Scnator Borah. “He certainly is.” rejoined Senator Stone. “He works with you. I don’t know if he works with the Idaho senator. Ie used to, but I think he is with the Pennsylvania senator now." “Tf it isn't treasonm, T might sa: ventured Senator Penrose, “that Mr. Wilson, in his first election, was un- der much obligation to Mr. Roos velt.” Penrose Becomes Sarcastic. | In his reply, Senator Penrosc said | he was surprised that Senator Stone's statement was not more formidable. “Realizing what a disinterested po- litical character the senator al- | w been,” Senator Penrose con- | tinued, “I plead guilty to everything he has said about me. But I do not thing political parties should bhe abol ished simply because the country is at | war. Bipartisan organization in Enz- land has failed. I am entircly willing | that the democratic party should go ! on with the war, but T am determined the republican party shall retain its organization and support the admin- istration in every laudable wayv, going on with criticism. “Po criticise is a public duty as 1‘ conceive it.

Of course, I restoration of the republican party to power. I am sufficiently impressed with the inefliciency of the present administration to think a better ad- ministration, having more confidence of business interests and the people, | could be given under a republican regime."” Senator Penrose never heard of any “divine on Mr. Wilson’s head.” The administration aid have the confidence of American people. He had kept lent and voted for administration measures with few ptions, he said, in order mnot to embarrass the sdministration, “knowing the hour of reaction would come and the coun try would know what was en titled to know The attitude of British statesmen, who “take the public into their con- fidence, remove irresponsible officials, reorganize and go ahead,” Senator | Penrose spoke of in words of praise. | “Can the senator blame me for par- a is as \dded he had ointment he thous not si- exc it tisanship in the war,” he asked, “when ] learned of all these inspectors being cheap, small, democratic workers without qualifications?

In my opinion there has been no necessity for a shortage of coal any place. “I don't think that in the few months we have been in the war we have reached the point where we need to interrupt the currents of commerce We are possessed with fads, and everything we read about from for- eign countries is brought to congress by bureau clerks and it is passed.

The camptroller explained that city employes cannot get increases on back salary as hon- uses .
