Mann Says It Shows Country Op poses Low Tariff—Democrats Claim They Held Vote. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Com menting upon the success of the Re publican candidate for the House in the Third- Congressional District of Maine, Senator Smoot. Republican,. of Utah, said to-day: “Of course I am pleased with the result. It means that the people of the country do not like the Demo cratic tariff bill and will not have it long.’ Senator Ollie James, Democrat, of Kentucky, said: “The Third District of Maine is an old Republican stronghold. If it had not been for the fact that some of the Democrats deserted to the Repub licans the outcome might have been different yesterday." James R. Mann, minority leader o f the House, said: “The results show, first, thar the country is decidedly for protection for American industries, and secondly, the current now is running strongly with the Republican party. “My request to Republican speak ers w’ho went up there was that they invite Progressives to come back into the Republican ranks and that the Republican party itwelf would be suf ficiently progressive to satisfy sane men. “W'hile the Progressives did not all come back, at least one-half did. and 1 believe the other half soon will. T recognize the fact that the Republican party can not live unless it be pro gressive. One destructive party is enough. That accounts for the Dem ocratic party.” Senator Galliger, of New Hamp shire, Republican leader of the Sen ate. said: “It means that, the reaction already has set in. It foreshadows the doom of the Underwood tariff bill and also indicates the disappearance of the Bui! Moose vote.” Senator Kern of Indiana, majority leader of the Senate, said: “We kept up our vote and had it not been for the desertion of one of the Democratic leaders we might have won.” Sponsor of Currency Act Tells the House Why They Fear Loss of Stock Gambling Profits.

Sept. 10.—De nouncing the bankers who have crit icised the Glass currency reform bill as designed to institute political con trol of the banking business of tne country, Chairman Carter Glass, of the House Banking and Currency Committee, opened general debate on the measure in the House to day. “I was present when an eminent banker suggested to President Wil son that the Federal Reserve Board might be used for partisan purposes.” Glass said, “and heard this- banker vainly challenged to show’ how it might be done. I never shall forget the emphasis with which the Presi dent declared that no man would ever be found who would tarnish his fame by so flagrant a prostitution of his high office." Where Banks Will Operate. Glass indicated that Federal re serve banks probably would be loaf ed at New’ York, St. Louis, Cincin nati, Washington, New Orleans and In Pennsylvania. “The batteries of the big banks have been turned upon this board,” said Glass, defending the reserve board plan, “and yet there is hardly a power enumerated in this bill which has not been exercised by the Gov ernment for 50 years, or. indeed, which has not been confined to one or two public functionaries.” Scores Present “Reserves." “We have permitted banks to pyra mid credit upon credit and to call the credits reserves. They are not re serves. When financial troubles come and country banks call for money lu pay creditors they find it invested in stock gambling. “The real opposition,” he continued, “is not to Government control, upon which we shall never yield; it is not to compulsory membership, which also was provided in the Aldrich bill. It is to loss of profits from a system which makes them the legal custo dians of all the reserve funds of the country, $240,000,000 of which funds on November 24, 1912, they had put into the maelstrom of Wall Street stock operation."

Miss Wickham is to manage Mrs. Pankhurst’s American speaking tour.

About twenty apartment housa owners went before the commission Tuesday afternoon. One of their ar guments was that schoolhouses wer* not required to obey the law. R. M. Harwell, chairman of th« commission, replied to the apartment house owners that they already had had more than a year to comply with the law. FAIRBURN DROUTH BROKEN.
