 "rhe first and most important thing to be considered is a harmonious organ ization, one that will bring to the speaker all the elements of strength in the party. The east has several distinguished gentle men whose names have been mentioned for speaker, and the middle west has the Hon. Theodore E. Burton of Ohio. The west proper has but one announced candidate, the Hon. Joseph c. Cannon of Illinois, the veteran leader of the house.
 'If l should enter the field as candi- date, it would be a long drawn out con- test that might leave scars that would in the end prevent that harmony of or ganization which in the public interest, should be preserved, especially in the west We musttnot forget that our first duty is to the people and that we must give President Roosevelts administration a strong and united support"

Alabama May Rest Techs.

The next scheduled football game in Birmingham during the remainder of the season will be played at West End Thanksgiving day between the University of Alabama and the Georgia Techs" These teams are about equally matched and battle royal is expected.
 Up to this time Tuscaloosa has slightly the better of the prediction but whether these will come true is a question. The Techs held Auburn down to IT points while the Tigers rolled up a score of 23 to against Alabama Since then the team from Tuscaloosa has showed a reversal of form and put up good stiff game against Georgia here. They have improved since then and their game with the Uni versity of Texas Tuesday will give clearer line on their strength.
 At Auburn yesterday Coach Reynolds of the University of Georgia said he was of the opinion that Alabama could beat the Techs but that question is open for al gument.

APV Before a crowd of 40O students and two hundred of their friends Clemson ran away with the Auburn eleven this afternoon. The final score be- ing Is to 0. Auburn played hard and made several plucly stands but were out gen eralded and outplayed throughout.
 The teams averaged about the same weight but at no stage of the game was the playing equal. Clemson's goal line was never in danger and onIy once dur ing the game did Auburn get as close as Clemson's S5-yard line except by kicking and then the ball was speedily returned.
 The weather was very warm and the gridiron was covered with three inches of sand which added to slowness of the game. Twenty-Five minute halves were hours and five minutes
 The style of game played by the two teams was vastly different Auburn play ing straight hard football while Clemson resortod to numerous tricks, a large num- Der of which were successful. The double pass worked many times and the quarter back kick was always good for a gain, Auhurn's tricks were broken before they could get started. Their biggest gain in the game was an end run of yards and their total gains for the entire game did not exceed 30 yards
 For Clemson Sitton was easily the star of the game, his two runs, one at thirty and the other of thity-five yards both resulted in touchdowns. Hanvey, at full back. bucked the line repeatedly for good gains.

 substituted for Sitton in the second half made several runs and tackled beauti. fully.
 Patterson Was Clever.
 For Auburn, Patterson was clever al left end, nearly always getting his man Allison played his usual star game al fullback, hitting the line hard, and sever. al times breaking through and tacklinc Clemson for loss. The game was fret from squabbling and slugging and was cleanly played throughout, and that the score was not larger can be attributed tC the condition of the gridiron.
 Coach Heisman of Clemson, after the game, said: T am well pleased with the game my boys put up, we were not ac- customed to sandy field and that was somewhat of a handicap. Auburn was good on defense but weak on offense. am especially proud of the way our line held"
 Coach Kent of Auburn said: 'Our boys did not play their game. They seemed demoralized, and not until the second half did they get down to hard work We were beaten by better team"
 Coach Reynolds of Georgia, who wit messed the game said that he expected to have his team in good condition for their contest with Auburn. He also said that the Tuscaloosa Tech in Birmingham on Thanksgiving would be a hot one, but he expected to see Tuscaloosa win.
