Washington, July 1.-THE young
members of the House are working
like veterans. The present House is
one that no Democrat, or any other
American citizen, for that matter, need
apologize for. believe that the coun.
try thoroughly appreciates this too.
Thus declared Speaker Champ
Clark. He was hard at work in his
private office at the time, sitting be-
hind a desk piled high with CORES.
pondence, reports of investigating
committees, and an assortment of
books that would serve any ordinary
man as an entire library.
"The members OF the House are
fighting a good fight, said the Speak

I'VE are fulfilling as rapidly and as
literally as possible every promise
made to the people.
I'VE promised in the Denver plat
form to reform the rules OF the House,
and we have done 1t. That is an ac-
complished fact.
Our opponents declared that only
under the old rules could the business
of the House be transacted. 1t was
predicted that If the committees were
named by the House chaos would re-
suit.
1--WE have reformed and liberalized
the rules and elected committees and
we expedite business and bring JOY to
the hearts OF all lovers of the republic.
1--WE promised the people that we
would submit proposition to amend
the Constitution to permit the people
to vote direct Tor United States Sena-
tors. The House promptly passed
such a measure.
I'VE promised to pass bill COM
pelling the publication of campaign
expenses. before the elections. That
has been done.
"We promised to admit New Mexl-
co and Arizona. We have done our
best to bring that about 1t is up to

1--WE promised to cut down the dis
bursements of the Government We
have already made a beginning by
abolishing more than one hundred
useless Offices in and about the House
of Representatives, thereby saving
$4,000 annually.
This is only an earnest of what we
will accomplish.
I'VE are living up to the Jefferson

at by spendthrifts as cheeseparers,
but hard headed, sensible folk will in

to be indorsed.
I'VE promised TO repeal the tariff
on wood pulp. print paper. lumber,

cles would be placed on the free list.
So far as the Democratic House is
concerned that pledge has been full
filled in the Reciprocity bill and the
