"In another Senatorial campaign In

La Follette quoted much of the testi

Interest, and he hoped that the Senate
would "find the men back of this in

CNITAIUAAS KEEP FLETCHEH
Mot e by Anti-Lorlmer Men Support
ed by Third ot Delegates.
BOSTON". May 24. A propoaltlon to
drop the name of United Statea Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher, of Florida, from
the Hat of Tlcs-presldenU of the Uni
tarian Association, because of his sttl
tuds In ths Lorlmer ease last Winter,
tailed at the annual meeting of ths as
sociation today. The opposition to Sen
ator Fletcher waa led by Rer. John
llaynes Holmes, paator of the Church
of the Messiah. New York, and num
bered approximately rfneithlrd of those
present.
The debate began when ths nominat
ing committee presented Its report. In
which the Senator's name was placed
fourth In the Hat of sight Tlce-preal-denia.
Mr. Holmes at ence offered a
resolution offered by nine New York
clergymen and J of those In and about
Boston, declaring that. "In view of the
public services attached to tbe name of
Senator Fletcher, we do not regard him
aa eliKlble to leadership In that form
of Christianity known aa Unltarlanlam
anJ protest aicatnst his nomination as
v ice- president. "
Kev. A J. Coleman, of Jacksonville.
Fla declared that the reaolutlon waa
an attempt to fasten a new method of
dogmatism on tbe Unltarlana.
Senator Fletcher Toted for Senator
Lorlmer because the evidence agalnat
him waa not autTlclent." aald Mr. Cole
man, "lie waa actuated by a high sense
of moral and political duty and the
people of Florida are proud of his
record."
Kev. Mr. Todd, of Washington, de
fended Fletcher aa one of hla parish
ioners and resented ths resolution aa
"unwarranted Interference with ths
action of an Individual."
Mr. Holmes declared that the Uni
tarian Association could not place any
stain on the name of Fletcher which
tbe Senator had not placed there al
ready by his action In the Lortmar
case.
-It would be better to wipe out every
Unitarian Church souTn of ths Mason
and tHon Una rather than place a dis
honored name on our llat of officers."
shouted Mr. Holmes.
-As to Senator Fletcher." aald Mr.
Holmes. "I believe he haa failed to
measure up to the standard. I believe
he waa conscientious, but what was
ths matter with his conscience? Ws
do not wsat a man on ear list for
whom we have to apologise. -
After further debate a rlelne? Tote
waa taken which waa partially counted.
PresMent KUot announcing that the
motion to strike Fletcher'a name from
the list waa lost About one-third
voted for the resolution.
Tbe association then elected Its offi

Cambridge.
HIXES STRIKES AT ACCUSERS
Lorlmer's Sponsor Denies Bribing,
Says Inquiry Farce.
CHICAOO. May 24. Edward Hlnes,
named before the Helm legislative com
mittee In connection with the collec
tion of an alleged $100,000 fund to elect
United Statea Senator William Lorl
mer. today took occasion, before read
ing his annual address to the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association, of
which he Is president, to defend his
acts and to flay his accusers.
Following an all-night sesalon. the
board of governors of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
adopted a reaolutlon expreasing confi
dence In President Mines, which arts
adopted by the association Immediately
after tha president's address.
"I deem It proper at the outset to
say a word respecting certain charges
that have been made against me and
In some Instances- against the lumber
Interests. In relation to National affairs.
"I absolutely and unqualifiedly deny
these chargea. I am Innocent of any
wrongful acta In these matters. I have
no apology to make for my conduct
aa an Individual or as an officer of
ths association, nor have you or any
other factor of the lumber Industry
any apology to make for Its conduct
and attitude toward National affairs.
"So far as I personally am concerned,
at the proper time and by the proper
procedure I shall vindicate myself and
confound my traducers before a tri
bunal that will not be a grotesque tra
vesty on law and Justice a mere tool
of politics and the subservient organ
of tin fair and unscrupulous Journalism.
"What I have done In behalf of the
lumber Industry In my own and In your
own behalf and what yon have dons
In co-operation with me. haa been dons
openly and legitimately."
Plunging Into his annual address. Mr.
Rlnes attacked President Taffs reci
procity plan, saying:
"A year ago. at the New Orleans
meeting. I congratulated you on what
I thought was a satisfactory ending of
the tariff campaign, yet we find our
selves again In a renewed campaign of
the same sort. Again lumber Is asked
largely to bear the burden of what Is
called tariff revision.
"This tiros It assumes the old guise
of reciprocity with Canada, and obey
ing the mandate of the association, ws
have been making a fight against tha
Insidious discrimination with which It
proposes we shall be treated."

MacVeagh Says ex-Senator
Shines as Monetary, Not
Tariff, Reformer.
BANKERS' AID IS ASKED
Central Reserve Association Cannot
Become Political Machine, Says
Secretary West Can Beat
. East In Politics.
KANSAS CITT, Mp May 24. Secre
tary MacVeagh. of the Treasury, speak
ing before the assembled Bankera" As
sociation of Missouri and Kansas here
tonlRht, Indorsed the plan for monetary
reform proposed by ex-Senator Aldrich,
and made a plea for all bankers to sup
port it In a public-spirited, non-partisan
wav.
While h paid a high tribute to Mr.
Aldrich aa a monetary reformer. Mr.
MacVeagh waa frank in saying he did
not agree with the tariff views of the
ex-Senator from Rhode Island, and
added that he thought Mr. Aldrich him
self might have changed bis opinions
some.
Where Aldrich Shines.
"Let me say a word about Mr. Al
drich." said Mr. MacVeagh. "It is
proper to differentiate Mr. Aldrlch's
monetary views from Mr. Aldrlch's tar
iff views. I have not agreed with hla
tariff views, not even a little, but I
never pretended to him that I agreed
with him: and he, as well as anybody
else that cared about my views, knew I
did not.
-We must get sway from Mr. . Al
drich aa a tariff-builder before we can
understand him as a monetary reform
er. As a monetary reformer, he is as
suredly one of the best examples. I
do not say he has aiwuys been so. He
has long been interested In monetary
questions and legislation, but it is only
durng the last four or five yeara he
has become what he is a thoroughly
enlightened student and builder.
-After hearing me aay these things
about Mr. Aldrich,. some of you will
say, 'Well, we are sorry for MacVeagh.
He Is another good man rone wrong.
The atmosphere of Washington haa
been too much for him.'
"As for me. I think and I expect al
ways to think that the West knows
more about real politics In a minute
than the East Including Washington
City knows In a year.' But at the
same time there are a few things that
a Western man coming from the East
to the West may find It worth while to
bring with him.
"Ail the losses and the personal and
family disappointments and discomforts
and sufferings must be chanred to the
bankers. One may say that the Govern
ment la partly responsible also, but the
Government would legislate if the bank
ers wisely advised it-
"The Nation puts Into the hands of
the bankers the care and control and
organisation of its financial Interests. In
all periods the banking and currency
aystema of the world have been formu
lated by the bankers. It Is not enough
to say that the bankers suffer from the
Inadequacy of their system, because they
suffer too much and more than any one
else.'
No Central Bank Proposed.
The banking ayatem of American to
day, said Mr. MacVeagh la now an un
organised mass composed of 25.000 units.
A central reserve association, he said,
would bring them all Into a workable or
ganization. It would only be a question
of organization and not at all one of
centralization. ' That the proposed sys
tem would be a central bank Mr. Mac
Veagh denied. '
Aa to apprehensions that the Central
Reserve Association may become a po
litical Institution or fall Into the hands
of a few moneyed men, Mr. MacVelgh
continued:
"Let me say they are wholly un
necessary. It can never become a po
litical agency. It Is easily removed for
all time from any remote possibility of
being controlled by any few men or any
few banks. It cannot be owned by less
than ail the banks that create it."
In conclusion Mr. MacVeagh counseled
the bankers to deal with currency re
form In a thoroughly nonpartisan public
spirit.
"I hope banking and currency reform
will escape the misfortune of becom
ing a party question." said he. "The
outlook for escnps is excellent. Thrae
Is not evidence In sight that the part.3
will divide upon It."

ALASKA ASKS FOR LIBERTY
Delegate Wickersham Uryes Crea

WASHINGTON; May 24. Tha admin

ernment in Alaska Is deplorable, ac
cording to Delegate Wlckersham of
that district, who today before tbe
House committee on territories urged
a favorable report on his bill creating
an elective Legislature for tha terri
tory. "Alaska," hs said, "under the present
ystem of long distance administration,
has not been given a single legislative
measure for five years. There can ba
no question that an attempt to govern
such a big territory from the National
capital thousands of miles distant is
a failure."

ing bit of political gossip was current
