tive Offices, made this answer to
question as to the fight in the house
yesterday:
THE amendments to the rules have
greatly improved them. All this stun
about the speaker being a czar is the
purest tommyrot. There has never
been time when the majority could
not control the house, What they
wanted to do was to make a commit
tee OF fifteen czars, dominated by
Champ Clark and LaFoilette. That
also Is tommyrot. LaFollette Is a
fake"
When Representative Champ Glars
called on President Taft later In the
morning. and was told what the speak
er had sad. he answered briefly:
Uncle Joe has paresls."
Mr.. Clark would not comment fur
ther except to say that the amend
ments to the rules adopted yesterday
amounted to very little.

Senator Stetson. it is claimed, would
have voted against II had he been pres

Stetson was notified by telegraph to
come to Sacramento Immediately. SEN
