Carlin, q Democratic member OF VIA
ginia, who is supposed TO be taln
IN the interest Of Representative liaN
Of Virginia, Tor speaker of The Demo
cratic house. asserted that "ullcsf
Champ Clark declares IN favor OF p
committee on committees, he viii
never be speaker of the house"
In interviews had with him BY
newspaper men, Mr. Clark declined c
state his attitude on either the sub
lcct Of committee on rules adoptei
by the house. or committee on con.
mltioes elected In the same mannOt

privilege Mr.. Clark did. however
take occasion 20 state that he hao
never declared himself on the ques
lion OF q committee on committees.
Says Plan viii Be Laid Later.
lie explained that his attitude II
that regard had been misunderstood
probably from the fact that IN The
Democratic caucus of March, 1909, hI
advocated strongly a committee or
revision of the rules. That was Tho
time ho and Fitzgerald differed and
The latter won later when he march
ed his twenty-five friends up In line
and adopted his own amendment t.

Mr. Clark is parrying questions ~
to the possible course OF the Demo.

coming short session Democratic lead

TO be followed.
Clark Leads for Speaker.
II may be said In relation TO the
speakership that CLARK easily has the
lead and probably Will maintain II
but with such an unwieldly majority
in the house, after years OF hunger
and waiting, Is not certainty by any
means.
Suffers boom Is not taken serious
ly, though in view of his Tammani
connection II has significance. SUI
zer MS defeated candidate may have
a better chance Of securing desirable
committee assignments than would bs
the case were he to line up with the
sfissourian, but It Is yet to be deter
mined whether Clark will have the
make up OF the committees. Sulzcr
does not suffer from a defeat.
Harmony Is the keynote of Clark's
talk to Democrats who call on him
He was met at the station by crowd
Of admlring and hnngering friends and
hailed as the next speaker. lie en-
