The attack on Carnegie came ns
tho climax of an hour of hot argu

Washington, who also opposed the
repenl of the tolls exemption, had
read, under protest, several letters
nttacklng the contention of President
Wilson. The debate was cut off when
tho subject went over to tomorrow.
Jones read a letter from William n.

Wilson's contention and saying: "The

In five years. From the tlmo that
I entered politics back In Enid, It

wondering what tho next move would

I could labor for ten or twelvo
hours and go to bed and sleep like
a log without a worry and got up In
