Show Senator Bacon of Georgia In opposing the Introduced by 1 Senator Hoar exhibits ex-hibits anew the singular confusion of mind that prevails in tho Democratic school of thought His opposition Is based largely on the assumption that the bill undertakes to define as treason a crime which does not come under the Constitutional definition of treason That the bill docs not say anything about an attempt on the life of the President being treason or that killing the President Is treason or mention treason In any way makes no difference differ-ence to Senator Bacon lIe was wound up for a speech on the basis that the Constitutional definition of treason must be conformed to and he had to deliver it A mercy it is that the old clockwork clock-work didnt get started off in opposition to the irrigation bill to which it would have applied quite as well as to the Hoar bill for the protection of the President |
