that he thought there was too much
power concentrated in the hands of the
speaker.
Representative Cooper, (Rep.) Wis
consin, expressed his approval of what
Mr.. Williams had said.
Mr.. Dearmond, of Missouri. in a loud
tone Of voice, demanded to know if a
majority of the membership of the house
requested the speaker to permit action
upon a particular matter whether he
would or would not do it.
The speaker replied that the will Of
the majority had always been left to the
speaker.
MIR. Williams forced the yeas and nays
ON the passage of the resolution.
BY vote of 197 to 160 the resolution
was adopted and the rules in the last

Washington, Dec. "A brilliant
scene characterized the meeting of the
Sixtieth Congress today. In Senate
and House of Representatives there
were many notable gatherings in the
galleries of representatives of the Off
cial society of the capital. The coming
together for the first time of the men
who have been elected to the Senate
and the House, about one hundred of
whom have not before served in Con-
gress, made the occasion one of partic-
ular interest.
The striking scenes of the day were
IN the House of Representatives where
the formal selection of Joseph G. Can
non to again be speaker of that body
and the designation by the Democrats
of John Sharp Williams as their leader
were occasions for ovations for those
gentlemen.
The vast hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives rang with cheers of Republi-
cans and Democrats for their leaders,
and the speaker received as warm a
reception from members of the minor
ity as he did from his own party.
In accepting the speakership Mr..
Cannon said in part;
1--WE are today organizing the Goth
Congress, marking the l1ath milestone
in the history of the Government by the
people under the Constitution. Our
predecessors in the years that have
passed have left to US an example of
wisdom, moderation and courage that
has never failed to preserve the ideals
and the interests of republican govern
ment in many crisis. whether of peace
or war, adversely or prosperity.
''This House is the only institution
under our Constitution where that will
of the people may be expressed with q
fairness approximating to scientific &C.
curacy. Other departments of the
Government have lofty and important
functions, but to this House alone be
longs the peculiar, the delicate and the
all SURPRISING function of interpreting
and putting in definite form the will OF
the people. This duty we must per
form ourselves. The principles of the
past may help US to the extent Of show
ing US the points of the compass, but
beyond that we must depend on ou,
own wisdom, our own constancy, oul
own industry and our own fidelity t,
duty"
When the adoption of rules for tn,
government of the house during the 60tl
congress came up the rules of the las
congress were opposed by John Shar,
Williams, and he was joined in that Cd
position by Democrats and by singh
Republican, Mr.. Cooper, of Wisconsin

election of Bailey to Congress would
benefit either the District or the Demo-
cratic party? He could do very little.
Then if he cannot benefit the Demo-
cratic party, or do anything for the Dis
trict, we do not see why Democrats
should support him. Irrespective of
politics we are interested in securing
Public Buildings-especially do we want
one here at Big Stone Gap. We want
a man in sympathy with the administra-
tion, and party, who can, and will, get
an appropriation for this purpose.
Mr.. Bailey is a man whom personally
we like very much, but we can not
figure out just how he would help the
Democratic party, or be able to do any
thing for the District.
Bascom Slemp is looked upon as the
coming man in his party from the
South He has the ear of the powers
that be. He will. by reason of his sup
erior ability, soon be the leader of his
party in the South. He has ability of
the first order, and if we must have a
Republican in Congress, let US have one
that will be able to accomplish some
thing for the people of Southwest Vir-
ginia.-Big Stone Gap Post.

the Hon. Connolly F. Trigg, though in
1886, two years later, the same Mr..
Bowen, running on the same ticket and
platform, was reelected by about five
thousand majority. Mr.. Bailey was
making the same claim for party re-
ward, twenty-five years ago that he is
making today, and after his defeat for
Congress he was appointed U. S. Asst
District Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia, to which he was re-
commended by Hon. Campbell Slemp,
deceased. He also showed that Mr..
Bailey could have had the nomination
for Congress, in 1902, at Abingdon, but
he spurned the suggestion, and was
willing to yield this district without an
effort on the part of the Republican
party. He also stated that he had en-
deavored last winter in Washington, in
connection with his father, to- osecure Col
Bailey Federal position, but their ef-
fort failed Mr.. Slemp STATED this to
show that his feelings toward Mr.. Bal
ley, had always been of the kindest.
Mr.. Slemp further stated that he could
not regard seriously Mr.. Bailey's re-
ference to him as party dictator, and
showed that Mr.. Bailey was at this
time and has been ever since Mr.. Slemp
has been chairman of the party, mem
Der of the Republican State Committee,
and that he had never raised his voice
in criticism of party management, until
he had decided to make his independent
race for Congress. Mr.. Slemp closed
the discussion by stating that the ordi-
nary economic issues have heretofore
divided the two political parties, do not
enter into the present campaign. Along
the line of the temperance question,
which has agitated the people of the
state, he stated his position clearly, and
said that if elected to Congress in the
Ninth District, he would be the first or
one of the first representatives, ever
sent to the lower house of Congress,
with explicit instructions embodied in
resolutions passed, by the convention
that nominated him upon this great
question. He quoted his platform on
the subject which declares against the
interstate shipment of whiskey into
local option territory. He stated that
he would regard a great victory as an
endorsement of his own views, and the
views set forth in his party's platform
on temperance, and he called on all the
good people of this district, who be-
lieved in his policy to support him. Mr..
Slemp's reception was a very cordial
one, and it is claimed by his friends,
that he will carry the county by 500 to
800 majority. Mr.. Slemp was followed
by the Hon. T. ]. Munsey, who was
introduced by Senator A. T. Lincoln,
and made one of the splendid addresses,
for which he is famous. The meeting
was closed with short speech by Hon.
Robt. w. Blair, of Wytheville, and the
day was regarded as a great one for
MIR. Slemp.
