Chairman Swartz then introduced
Hon. Jeremiah Donovan, the candi-
date for representative in the Fourth
Congressional district. The latter
stated that Congressman E J. Hill
:he had not appeared the speaker in- ii
vited any representative of his to
speak. No one appeared, however,
and Mr. Donovan then began his
speech. He stated that during the
eighteen years that Mr. Hill has serv-
ed as representative the district had
been sorely neglected and deprived
of improvements. He cited instances
where small towns both in this state
and others have been benefitted
through their representatives, and yet
Mr. Hill was lauded as one of the
.a-blest. if not the ablest, man ever in
Congress. He stated that if Hill had
the great influence and ability which
his friends and press agents declared
him to possess, where did he show it?
If Mr. Hill was such a powerful fig
-ure in his party, why was it that

tion the motion for creating the com-
mittee was first accepted. The bal~
lot for Mr. Keogh's suggestion as
:chairman resulted in a total of 107
votes, fifty-four being necessary for
I choice, of which Daniel Keogh led
with forty-one votes; Carl Schaub
coming next with thirty-eight.

The latter was instantly on his feet

was mania: was because he wanted
to show McMahon and his crowd that
be was not a dead one even if that-
clique did refer to him as such. He ,
.movod that the secretary out one

stated that for the last few days Mr.
Keogh had been working very hard
to cost him from the town commit

Mr. Keogh stated that if Mr McMa
hon insinuated that he, KcOgh, had
spent any of the party money which
left the balance to be met by the,
town committee. he wanted to know
that instance. Both men were on
their feet and sharp'words passed.
Joseph W. Rooney stepped forward
and severely criticised Mr. Keogh's
actions, stating that it. was evident
that Keogh sought more for himself

Mr. Donovan then launched out on
the tariff issue. He told of the re-
'msrkable bill recently passed -by the
Democrats of the House with a large
Republican following, and which also
went through the Republican senate.
and after the veto by President Taft
it passed the House by more than a
twothird vote. Mr. Hill would have
you believe that this bill would ruin
the country. He quoted Mr. Hill as
saying that the southern states want-
ed free trade, but Hill did not say
anything about the consumption of
the raw product in the south.
Mr. Donovan said he believed any-
thing l-illi said might be true, but
“what Hill failed to state was anything
which might interfere with his chan-
ces for reelection.
Mr. Donovan stated that the rents.

Senator La Follette. The senator
