The speaker dwelt at some length
upon the course of Spe ker Reed
and his arbitrary methods, and
warned the people, that if such
things were permitted it would not
be long until the liberties of the
people were overthrown, and the
form of our government changed.
He denounced the manner in which
our members of Congress had been
unceremoniously, and without law
or precedent, turned out of their
seats, and hoped, that the people of
the Fourth District would elect Mr..
Capehart by such q majority that
no Republican Congress would dare
to unseat him. He gave it as his
opinion that the next Congress
would be largely Democratic, and
that New York would do her share
in the good work of helping to bring
about Democratic majority in the
next House.
