''DearSir;-I am a candidate for speaker of the house. I was a member of the house during the sessions of 1901, 1903 and 1905, and have, therefore, had the experience which is essential to fit one for this position
 My candidacy, however, is unwel- come, and will be opposed by the great public service corporations, and by all of those prominent and powerful poll" tlciians who are in their service, or for one reason or another owe allegiance or are under obligations to them.
 I have recently been credibly inform ed that my name was considered by these gentlemen several months before the election, and that they then decid- cd I could not safely be trusted to make up the committees of the house; and 1t is almost common knowledge that many weeks before you were elect ed MT. Tilson of New Haven was slat- ed for speaker, and, indeed, statements to that effect appeared in several news papers.
 Tt has come to pass in this state that these corporations insist upon se- lecting the speaker long before the members are elected, assuring him of election in advance, by bringing to his support all the powerful men and means at their command.
 Indeed, their representatives some- times justify this action on the ground that they pay large taxes and have great interests to protect
 1t is true they pay large taxes, have great interests, and are entitled to fair treatment, and I favor according to them all reasonable protection, and granting to them all reasonable and proper legislation in aid of every proper plan or purpose, but I am opposed to permitting them to dominate the politi cal affairs of the state {"
 q am a candidate not alone because seek the honor, but also because believe the speaker should be chosen after and not before the election oi members, by the members themselves and not by any influence outside the membership of the house, and further because I believe the political affairs O | llle SIdte should De wholly divorced from the influence of public service cor porations
 | For these reasons I seek support, an( 1 if I am chosen speaker the committee! will be made up with absolute fairness with complete freedom from dictation and each member will be appointed t, that committee to which he is bes l adapted.
 Yours truly,

played by New York's requirements in the present tightness of money, The reiterated refusals of the secretary of the treasury to adopt any immediate measures. which were repeated to-day, were calculated to disappoint expecta- tions of relief by this means.
 Reports of settlement of wage dis putes on some of the railroads were help to the market. Some sentimental effect was produced by the reports of agreement at Washington on a plan among the advocates of a law permit ting emergency bank measures. The strength of St. Paul found no explana- tion in any news beyond revived ru- nors of rights of subscription to fur ther stock issues.
 The opening money rate at 14 per cent. proved to be the highest of the day, With the decline in the rate stocks advanced gradually, but quite steadily Proft-taking caused some re- action, and while the closing was gen. orally below the best prices, the tone was firm.

EESTERDAY,s STOCK MARKLT
Further Substantial Recovery in Price

Further Substantial Recovery In Prices.
 New York, Nov. 13-~The movement towards recovery in prices of stocks, which was distinctly initiated in the later dealings of yesterday, made fur ther substantial progress to-day. The demand was not large and conspicuous movements were restricted to a few stocks which have been favorites in the speculation. A demand from un- covered shorts was an obvious factor in the recovery. The light demand was made effective through the falling off in the pressure to sell which was in evil dence yesterday by reason of the with drawal of credits from speculative hold CTS on margin. There was much less calling of loans to-day and less diffi- culty in securing fresh accommodation. It was assumed that this was due part ly to the return to the money market of the amount paid in yesterday on sub scription to new St. Paul stock, which called for some $12 100000
 The stock market settlemen in Lon l don made favorable progress and with out further urgent pressure on New York for retirement of stock held in that market, This afforded a sense of relief, although the actual pay day for the settlement is fixed for tomorrow. Money and discounts were firmly held in London, but developments pointed enthusiastically to effective relief of the tension in that market. The violent jump in the rate for sterling exchange in Paris, of 3 1-2 centimes, served mo- tice that extensive remittances of capi- tai were being made from that center to the English capital, in furtherance of the willingness of the Bank of France to assist the London money market
 The loosening of the pursestrings of the Paris market for the benefit of the London market opens up the most inn portant reserve supply of money at present available to the worlds needs and marks distinct departure from the recent policy of the guardians of that supply.

HOisted White Flag in Rate
Regulation.
MADE BOLD STAND AT FIRST
Dakotan Says He Surrendered in Aban-
dOning Position That Commission
Should Fix Rates.
MADE BOLD STAND AT FIRST

Richard Franklin Pettigrew. former
Senator from South Dakota, was in
Washington yesterday and visited the
Capitol. spending some time on the
floor of the Senate. where he was cor
daily greeted. MIR Pettigrew was
twelve years a member of that body.
and his status was well indicated in
q remark of a former collea que III greet
ing him
'-Pettigrew. he said. we wish you
were back here as chairman of the
committee on trouble"
Well, replied Mr.. Pettigrew. from
reading the newspapers and the Record
of late. / Judge that you don't need
anybody in that capacity; the Senate
seems to be committee of the whole on
trouble
President Surrendered, He Thinks
Senator Pettigrew admitted he has
been watching the progress of rate
legislation with much interest. Tho
President really surrendered when he
sent his last message 10 Congress- he
said. so long as he demanded that
the Interstate Commission be clothed
with the power TO fix a rate-an abso-
lutte rate-and to put il into effect at
once. he was standing for something
worth while. He surrendered that when
in his last message he demanded, in
stead. the power 10 fix maximum rates
a maximum rate merely fixes the limit
beyond which robbery may not go; il
doesn't prevent robbery So. having
surrendered about the whole thing al
ready. I don't see that il makes much
difference whether the President yields
another point and permits a provision
10 be put into The bill providing for
suspension of the rate pending court
review
Believes IN Government Ownership.
Senator Pettigrew has been for years
one of the foremost opponents Of the
theory Of Government ownership as the
only solution of the problems of trans
portation. A. a Senator he had a doc
umenJ ON this subject printed. which is
still regarded as one OF the most com
piete expeditions of it that has ever been
made in practical form. lie still believes
as he did then. and he admitted that he
wouldn't be surprised To see II made a
great issue in the next national cam
palgn- I offered resolution in favor
OF il in the St Louis convention" Re
said, and got eleven votes in the com
mittee, which pleased me very much
The other day when I was talking OF
these problems with James J. Hill. he
turned 10 ne suddenly with the remark
Well. Pettigrew. it does begin 10
look as if we would have some of those
