It may not have ac- complished its direct object—an extra session so that the le may vote for their president—but— It did drag out a lot of standpatters and near stand- patters and just plain trimmers and put them on record. It’s a fine thing when you can get a trimming poli- tician out in the open and force him to a plain answer to a plain question. g HE TRIMMER USUALLY VOTES RIGHT, ' AND WHEN YOU GET HIM IN A HOLE, HE AL- ' WAYS VOTES RIGHT. BUT HE AVOIDS VOTING AND AVOIDS COMMITTING HIMSELF TO THE BITTER END. Take Howard Taylor, speaker of the house, as an Howard isn’t any worse—maybe not so bad ‘as some of the rest of the trimmers. But he'll do as an Be i “I voted for ever, the yp ssive measure that passed last house,” he acne That's right. He did. ’s the point. TAYLOR BURIED A LOT OF GOOD PRO. GRESSIVE LEGISLATION.
