GOVERNOR DIX WANTS
DEADLOCK BROKEN UP
Party Entitled to Know Men
Against EIGCting Senator

Albany, n. Y, Marcn Ga messen-

many hall leaders and William F.
Sheehan the necessity of settling the
senatorial situation in New York
state. This followed the publication
of a statement by the governor in
reply to the declaration of William f.
Sheehan, the Tammany senatorial can
didate, that he would not withdraw
from the contest that has become Il
deadlock, unless the caucus that made
him candidate were rescinded
Governor Dix says in his state
man.:
THE failure of the legislature to Sc
lect a federal senator is a vital and
paramount issue confronting our party
and our party is entitled to know the
names of those members of the legis-
lature who are opposed to the imme-
diate settlement of this issue"

CLARK CAN'T MAKE
CHATAUQUA SPEECHES
Extra Session Will Cost Him
$4,000

Washington, March 6.-The extra
session is going to cost Champ Clark
speaker-to-be and chautauqua lee
turer par excellence, more than any
other member of the house. A careful
estimate shows that Mr.. Clark is out
something like $4,000, because there
will be no long summer recess. 1t
happens this way, and it is a rather
sad financial tale:
AS prospective speaker of the house
and in his capacity of picturesque
American figure anyway, Mir Champ
Clark was destined to be in great de-
mand upon the lecture platform dur
ing the approaching summer. He
planned something like a ten weeks
tour, beginning in Philadelphia next
week, sweeping across the country to
the Pacific coast, down the coast and
then back east again.
LAS Chautauqua star, Mr. Clark
might have drawn something like $500
week. Fortunately, or unfortunate
ly, the contracts are so drawn that Mi
Clark cannot be required to fill his en-
gagements if his public duties pro-
hibit.
