DEMOCRATS TO BLAME FOR BILLS CONGRESS FAILED Their Delay in Pushing Meas ures Is Cause; Not Fili burslering Special to the Telegraph Washington. Pa., March 24.—That the failure of the great appropria tion bills and other important legis lation to pass the last session of Congress was directly and solely due to Democratic tardiness and not to dilatory tactics or filibustering, is being charged here following the statement of President Wilson that a "group of men in the Senate" have chosen to embarrass the administra tion. The failure of the committees in Congress, controlled and dominated in every instance by Democrats, to report these bills to the House and to the Senate for their consideration in time to permit their being acted upon is pointed to as the real rea son by those in touch with the situa tion at the capital. Within a few moments after the adjournment of Congress, March 4. the President issued this statement which began as follows: | "A group of men in the Sen ate have deliberately chosen to embarrass the administration of the government, to imperii the financial interests of the rail way systems of the country, and to make arbitrary use of powers intended to be employed in the interest of the people." When Mr. Wilson opened the last session of the last Congress on De cember 2. he notified members of the Congress that he was leaving at once for Paris and a tour of Eu rope, and that he had no time to j make any recommendations to it re : garding domestic legislation. The same afternoon he left Washington for Europe. He did not return to this country until one week before I the adjournment of Congress, so that | he was not in the I'nited States dur j ing the entirety of the last session of Congress. Because of this, he has' ] not been at all conversant with the j facts. The President referred especially to the failure of the general deflc -1 ienc.v bill, which carried with it : among other items, appropriations for the Federal Railroud Adminis tration. and he alleges in his state ment. that the failure to pass this bill "imperiled the financial inter ests of the railway s>stems of the country." This bill was not re ported to the Senate until late in the day. Saturday. March 1, which ren dered its discussion impossible un j til Monday. March 3, within thirty l six hours of the time Congress legal |ly expired. The bill carried appro j priations aggregating $842,000,000. j One of the items was an uppropria ! tion of $730,000,000 asked for by i the Federal Railroad Administra i tion to meet a deficit created by the j Democratic Administration's opera ; tion of railroads. It also called for $30,000,000 to he used by the Ship- I ping Board for the purchase and | requisition of siiips. Where the Delay Occurred I That this bill did not come from i the Democratic House to the Senate j until late on the day of March 1, | was directly due either to the in i difference or to the incompetence of the Democratic majority in the ] House, as. under the rules in that body, legislation can be put through without delay in event tlie majority wishes it. Other appropriation bills which ' failed of passage were: the $1,250,- 000,000 Army appropriation bill, carrying with it legislation for re ; vision of the Articles of War and j effecting the future military policy ! of the United States: the $750,000,- 000 Navy appropriation hill, carry | ing with it legislation affecting the future naval policy of the I'nited States: the sundry civil bill carrying appropriations of $530.000.000, and with it legislation affecting the merchant marine of the United States: the agricultural appropria tion hill, calling for $30,000,000. The Democratic majority in the House had the Army appropriation bill nearly three months before they sent it to the Senate. The 'records show that it was not passed by the House until February 25, only seven days prior to the legal expiration of the Congress, it then had to be considered in Senate committee be fore being reported to the Senate for 1 action. According to a statement ; made in the Senate by Senator New of the Senate committee on military j affairs. that committee worked every minute day and night" in an , effort to get it in shape to report Ito tt\e Senate for final action. The $750,000,000 natal appropriation bill was in the House for over two months before it was sent to the Senate. Both the Army and Navy appro priation bills carried with them, in violation of legislative procedure, new legislation. They not only au thorized the expenditure of $2,000.- 000.000 in the aggregate, but they committed the nation to a military and naval policy affecting the future generations very vitally. The naval bill vested in the President of the I'nited States autocratic powers that were not vested in him even in times of war. Other bills failed of passage for the same reason. Central Penna.

This will provide that the I County Commissioners may not 1 change the location of polling places in the city if the majority of elec tors in the district affected sign a petition, vouched for by an affidavit by one of them, opposing the change.

It is understood an agree ment over the three Brady bills at present in the legislature, which provide considerable change in the election law, has been reached be tween'the Penrose forces, who spon sor them, and important State lead ers who objected to some of the items.
