asked.
Il do not in the least speak. or
claim to speak. for the president. l
presume in his annual message. which
is a document treating generally up
on the condition of affairs In the
country, and its needs and wants, that
the president will express himself
freely upon all such matters, and will
quite likely indicate his desire for
legislation in different directions; but
the message in itself submits all these
things to congress, and 1t is one thing
for the president to recommend and
leave to congress, and quite another
thing to attempt to force through by
the weight Of the administration,
when there Is determined opposition,
and in the waning days Of session
whose length is limited by law. do
not look t { - the president UNDER

Opposes Exa s. sion.
Asked whether he e&sex,. that an
extra session of the me- - ngress
will be called next spring. th>D Ator
replied: ~
II certainly do not. Champ Clark,
Of the house. who seems to have a
level head, tells the whole story about
this when he says that nobody ex-
poets or wants such session except
the clearinghouse keepers, the hotel
managers, the tradesmen and the
newspapers of the district, who would
be glad to see congress in continuous
session throughout the entire year.
When the tine comes, look to see
all talk of this absolutely disappear"
Mr. Hale declared that he did not
look for combination of the social
ed insurgent force with the Demo-
cratic party either now or hereafter"
and. on this point. said:
Il certainly do not expect to see
any such combination, but in this
can only give my own forecast, as I
have not talked with any leaders Of
either side upon the subject. The
so-called insurgent leaders are very
powerful body of men, aud, barring
Indiana, they appear to have their
states behind them, and there form
large group of great Republican
states, and do not think that their
people or their leaders would be at
home In the Democratic camp.
These states are protectionists and
not free traders, or for tariff for rev.
enue alone, and they will in the end,
l think, blend with the Republican
organization, where their leaders,
from conviction and natural force Of
character, will naturally have proper
influence
Nor does he contemplate prolonged
Democratic ascendancy.
hes Democratic party, with the
great trust committed to It by the
people in the late elections, takes up
immense responsibilities and immense
burdens" he said. Its leaders in
the next house Of representatives will
not have comfortable time. The
Republicans upon the floor of the
house will be practically united, and,
under the lead of the old speaker and
other great parliamentarians, will
watch for every blunder and every
mistake. The party managers, in the
midst Of their exultation, have already
met a frost in the demand for party
conference by party leaders, and are
spending anxious nights over a prop
osition for great jollification to be
devoted to speechmaking and to eat
ing and drinking.
II have little fear of any long as
tendency Of the Democratic party in
the politics Of the country. The time
between now and December, 1911.
will be well spent as a breathing
space for the people generally and for
politics. The good qualities Of the
president, his real patriotism, his
conservatism. his confidence in the
courts, and his desire to unity the
party, will all increase in weight with
the people, and expect to see, not as
participant, but as an interested look
er-on, the destinies of the country re-
stored to the control of the Republi-
can party.
Defeat Will do Good.
1 "The Republican party Is the ma
tional custodian. Of every great inter-
est in the republic. 1t Is the one and
only party that will ever see to 1t
that the great system Of protection
is maintained against foreign and un-
derpaid labor, and 1t is the only par
ty to whose management in the long
run can be safely committed its ju-
dietary, its corporations, its trusts, it's
business enterprises, and the every
day return Of its armies of millions
of laborers.
"'Whom the Lord loveth he chas-
teneth,' and the defeats Of 1910 will
do the party good. It must bear its
reverses and make the best Of II.
Painful as It all 10, Il must submit
to its temporary reverses and defeats
and must bear up as we'll as It may,
under even such calamities as the re-
pulse OF Roosevelt and the lamentable
overthrow Of Beveridge."
