John Sharp Williams, OF Mississippi,
Democratic floor leader In the House, has
formally rendered his resignation of the
minority leadership which he has held
since the Fifty-eighth Congress. Mr..
Williams has been elected Senator from
his State to succeed Senator Money. and
will take his seat March 4, 1sI. His let
ter, resigning the Democratic leadership
in the House, follows:
Washington, June 1S. 1905
Hon. Henry d. Clayton,
Chairman Democratic Caucus. Eu-
faula, Ala.
Dear Henry: I write this letter TO you
as my resignation Of the position of par
namentary floor leader for the minority.
the resignation to take place upon the
first Monday Of December following this
date. l have been thinking about It
good deal. and il seems 10 me that If the
next House goes Democratic, whoever is
going to be Speaker OF that House ought
TO have at least the training of the last,
or short. session Of this Congress, not
only to 1T him for its parliamentary
duties, but also TO make a more intimate
acquaintance with the personnel on the
Democratic side than be perhaps other
wise might have. II, upon the other hand.
the next House shall be Republican, the
preliminary training Will be just as neces-
sary, IN order TO fit him for the arduous
duties Of leadership during the Sixty-frst
Congress.
Il have not consulted any OF my
friends about reslgning for fear they
might attempt TO dissuade me. and my
opinion OF the absolute correctness Of the
position which 1 am taking is so clear
that ! did not want either TO be dis
suaded or TO appear obstinate toward
them.
4 need not tell you. Of course. be-
cause you know II. how much I shall
personally welcome the release from
hard work and from the limelght AS
you and some close personal friends
know. l would. because OF the condition
OF ny health. have laid down the work

EFFORT TO STAMPEDE.

The distinctive features OF the Presi-
Dental session were two uproarious ef-
forts to stampede the convention for
Roosevelt, wild applause for Senator La
Fonette's speechmakers. the oversight by
which Gov. Hughes name was not for
maIly presented in nomination. and the
governor Of the Empire State was the
only Presidential candidate whose nomi-
nation was not seconded
Senator Page told Gen. Woodford. who
made a sps .ch for Gov. Hughes With the
full idea OF :, -tting the governor in nomi-
nation, that it would be necessary to
have secondlng speeches, but Gen Wood
ford did not accede to the suggestion.
Later in the convention he requested the
correspondents to announce that a dele
gate from the Fifth Virginia district sec
onded the nomination of Gov. Hughes.
There is a mistake somewhere, for GER
tatnly no such delegate or any delegate
seconded Gov. Hughes name.
Senator Lodge, permanent chairman Of
the convention. after awaiting the allotted
time for a second Of the Hughes nomina-
ton. turned to Secretary John Molloy.
who was reading the call Of States for
nominations, and said. Let her go CAL
lagher" Senator Lodge is a literary man,
and does not frequently resort to phrases
OF the day of this kind.
Delegates Sit Silent
The storm to stampede the convention
for Roosevelt came from the galleries.
The $50 delegates sat as if nailed to the
chairs.
Another distinctive feature Of the ses-
sion was the effort 10 howl down Gov
HanIy, Fairbanks speaker. and the deris-
ion and cOntumely heaped upon Hanly by
those in the galleries.
Probably ne convention hall In the
world was hotter than this one. when. at
12:45 D. m. Henry Sherman BouteIl. Of
the Ninth district Of Illinois, clambered

their breath. All who could get fans had
them, and used them Ike day laborers. |

cans Of that party, ending with President
Roosevelt. At the mention Of the Presi-
dents name there were Wild howls from
the gallery which turned into continuous
applause from nearly al parts Of the con-
vention.
1t made the Taft people nervous. So
much so that former Gov. Herrick ~

on Bouten; go on" and Mr.. Bouteu re-
sumed his speech which had been inter
rupted by the Roosevelt demonstration.

Mr.. Boutell. continuing. said thar II tbA
candidate of this convention was elected
and the Republicans carried the House Of
Representatives, = would be a drawn
battle, while If the candidate OF the con-
vention was elected and the House and
the United States Senate were lost. il
would be a national calamity. AT this
point delegates shouted Time! Time!'
for it was very warm in the convention
hall, and at even that early stage OF the
session folks were becoming tired and
exasperated. Name your candidate and
quit" were other shouts. but Bouten
continued 10 praise Uncle Joe.
Finally regarding the requests to quit
that We're hurled at him he closed by
saying that he wanted this convention TO
nominate a man who cast his first vote
for Lincoln. who entered Congress under
Gen. Grant, and who had been Roose-
velts "brayest and strongest ally"
The Ohio men and the Indiana dele
gates united in a frst-claSs cheer for
Uncle Joe. The New Workers were join

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-From
Germany comes a prophetic vision of
the future of the farm, with electricity
to tighten the work of the farmer
Consul Thompson transmits to the
department of commerce and labor an
address delivered by Herr Won Pod
bielsl1i, former German minister of ag
riculture. in which the latter predicts
the early utilization of the motor on
the farm.
Podbielski thinks that power plants
in the smaller cities, which generally
remain more or less idle until the cur
rent is required for lighting at night,
would earn greater dividends by dis
tributing their power to farmers, for
their use during the day. Some of the
appliances upon which the electric mo-
