Champ Clark viii take his seat in
the Speakers chair next December
without opposition, and a few moments
after he calls the House TO order a

OF the House who canvassed the sentf-

public his statement favOrfng the ap-

Had Clark remained silent on the

sOnal followers 70 do as they pleased,
it is probable that there would have
been a night Of great magnitude be-
tween the progressive Democrats and
progressive Republicans on the one
hand. and conservative Democrats and
conservative Republicans on the other.
Now, however, the conservative Demo
Gratis admit that the Clark statement
has placed them in a position where it
would be futile for them to attempt to
head of a committee on committees.
