WASHINGTON, March 18. "Drunk
with powon. the republican party
has become Inert and inefficient, cor
rupt and servile. It has achieved Its
manifest destiny. It has neither re
formed nor economised. It has failed
to look ot the sign boards and ran
the car of prosperity onto a commer

Hull of Tennessee in the house of
representatives today expressea his
opinion of the republican party.
"Having thus prescribed," he said,
"our republican friends should cheer
fully take the dose of their own med
icine, ihowever bitter, that Inevitably

Mr. Hull discussed the Issues of the

failing to provide remedial 1 egisla

not one of those democrats who
thought Mr. Bryan should place Mr.

it wise to embrace certain democratic
doctrines, ,he had not committed the
republican party to them, but Instead

Ills availability .as a candidate, he
says, la not a question, upon which hip
Judgment should be ventured or ac

is a question for Die voters of the
party to determine.
"As a democrat, I have resented
the claim that a few editors should

right of any editor, whether his cir

his opinion and his reason for It. but
those who read his opinion have a
right to give It Buch weight as they
think it deserves. 1 .tiave Insisted
that the readers ought to know what
pecuniary Interest the editor has In
the questions under discussion. As,
ror instance, 1 asked The World to
state editorially what financial Inter

the stocks or bonds of railroads and
in the stocks and bonds of corpora

World has not seen fit to answer the
question.
Not Opposed to Rich Owner.
I do not deny the rtght of Har-

Pulitzer to own a paper and present
their views to the public, but I do
contend that In the Interest of hon

the paper should be known and the
interest of the owner In the question
frankly stated."
Continuing, Mr Bryan says:
"It Is deliberately unfair In ignor

It is unfair in Ignoring the still worse

are slowly coming to light. Indicate
that labor Is not yet committed to
legislation about to be urged by Pres
ident Roosevelt along the lines of rec
ommendations by the Civic Federa
tion. That there Is a difference of
opinion that threatens to overturn
the program, was learned tonight
from an authoritative source.
Mr. Low Is said to have returned to
New York much discouraged. He had
expected to be able to harmonise the
points on which the labor Interests
represented by Mr. Gompers failed
to conform with the program of th
Civic Federation. , . .
The officials of th American Fed
eration of Labor are said to be with
holding their support to the program
because the president states that ha
cannot endorse legislation which
would legalise trade boycotts by la
bor unions. Ths provision for th
proposed bill exempting labor organ
isations which It was Intended to sew
curs full endorsement by th Ameri
can Federation of Labor. The con
census of opinion Is that unless Pree
Ident Roosevelt recognises tha right
