 WHY AN EXTRA SESSION IS NECESSARY.
 1T shall tell President-elect Harrison" said Representative Burrows, one of the most prominent candidates for the speakership, to a reporter, "that not to have an extra SeS- sion will be to gamble with fate and court defeat An extra session is an absolute necessity. To postpone the meeting of the Fifty first congress until December will make it physical impossibility to accom- plish the legislation which the country needs before the campaign of 1S9o. The Republi- can party must meet the expectation of the people. It has promised to legislate for the soldier, revise the tariff and pass some kind of an election law which will give free dom and security of elections throughout the country The taking of the census and the demand of the territories for admittanee, together with the settlement of the thirty contested election cases, must ali be pro- | vided for, and it will be impossible to do it all before the before the beginning of the | campaign. If we do not meet until Decem- | Der the result will be that we will go into | the campaign with our promises unredeemed | and subject to the just criticisms of the people,"
 Do you think that the tariff question will have to be gone over again in the next 1 houseT
 ''I do not. The extended discussion had upon the question in the house, the debate in the senate and the hearing which the senate | committee has given to the representatives l of the various industries seem to ma to be l all that is either necessary or desirable"
