| Of itself 4 confession Of weakness or

The Speaker Is not conscious of having
done any political wrong. The same
rules are III force in this house that
have been in force for two decades. The
Speaker has construed the rules a. be
found them and a. they have been con
etrued by previous Speakers from

Heretofore the Speaker has been a
member of the committee on rules COW

present Speaker has neither sought new
power nor has he unJustly used that al
ready conferred upon him.
"There has been much talk on the
part of the minority and of the insur
gems of the 'czarism' Of the Speaker
eliminating in the action taken today.
The real truth is that there is no cohe-
rent Republican majority in the house
of representatives. Therefore the real
majority ought to have the courage OF
its convictions and logically meet the
situation that cOnfronts it.
Bows to the Majority.
1.-THE Speaker does now believe and
always has believed that this is a gov
eminent through parties, and that par
ties can act only through majorities.
The Speaker has always believed in
and bowed to the Will of the majority

At the conclusion of this speech,
