Austin, Texas, Jan. 21.—An uncom-
promising defense of President Wood-
row Wilson's administration,, heard by
most members with peculiar relish,
in veiew of former Gov. Colquitt’s
recent attack, was the burden of an
address made to the Texas House
this afternoon by Congressman Rob-
ert L. Henry of the Waco District,
who tame from Washington to Aus-
tin to attend the inauguration of his
political friend, Governor James E.
Ferguson. Congressman Henry was
invited to address the House by unafi-
and written into law. (Applause)
“And I believe that when the ques-
tion is submitted to the voters again
the Democratic record wilt be sus
tamed and that the people of this
Nation wiU again elevate to the pres-
idency our great . leader. Woodrow
Wilson. (Much applause )
“When I think of another conti-
nent torn and distressed, of souls
wafted into eternity on the smoke of
many battlefields; when I look at ouv
suffering sister Republic, jtrife-rid-

I cannot do otherwise than congratu-

Former Gov. Colquitt criticising Pres-
ident Wilson, but nevertheless tha4.
expression was contrasted in thc
ndnds of most of his hearers with
thc- commendatory speech the Con-
gressman was delivering-
“Regardless of criticism from some
source,” he said “the leader of on*
party took up the banner with the
promises we had made enshrined in
his heart, and when the final pages
I? history are written it will be re-
rded that he kept the faith with
people.” (Applause)
fter outlining the Democratic tar-
rf reform laws he asked.
“Where is the Democrat who is a
Democrat who would wish to repeal
this tariff measure enacted by (the
Democratic party ? I am ready to j
defend it any where and everywhere.”
He discussed the currency law,
a hich he maintained was the greatest
piece of executive legislation ever J
written in this country on the cur-
rency question and one that few Dem- j
crats would favor repealing.
After considering the anti-trust
and defend the acts and policies of
this administration from end to end.
