regular Democrats of the house issued
a statement today in which they de-
fined their position regarding the dead
lock. In part they say:
STATEMENT Is ISSUED.
I'VE declined to participate in the
organization Of the house with the
knowledge that our position was un-
usual and that You would expect us to
explain and justify it. At the same
time we felt confident that you would
approve and endorse our course, even
though it shall result in no legislation
whatever by the fiifty-seventh general
assembly, when the facts are known.
'Long before the legislature was to
meet, it was authoritatively known
that there would be two contests in
the senate, viz: York VS.. Davis and
Wright VS.. Brooks. Mr.. Wright insti-
tuted his contest before the returns
were canvassed by the governor, at.
torney general and secretary OF state
but besng advised that the board could

and inquire into the facts, withdrew
his contest. giving notice to the board
at the time that he would renew it in
the senate.
"It was also we'll known that there
would be a contest between Asmus
and Mr. Day in the house. These
contests were understood to be bona
fide contests and, of course, meant to
be entertained and considered accord.

They can do nothing in the way of
legislation without us. The house is
not house assembled until at least
sixty-six rrembers have been sworn in.
This pretended house is mere rump
assembly, whose action cannot be
recognized by the senate nor the
courts. Confident we are of the right
fulness of our position that we will
maintain it as long as necessary in
the confidence that 1t will be endorsed

[0RiMER CASE
IN THE SENATE
DEATH OF SENATOR ELkINS
CAUSES A PosTPONEMENT OF
THE FIGHT AGAINST LORiMER
RETAINING HIS SEAT.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The adjourn
ment of the senate until Monday on
account of the death of Senator Ell.
kins made material changes in the
tanning his seat. There is some ques-
tion now whether Owen or Beveridge
will fire the first gun in the fight.
Owen, it is understood. desires to
speak because he wishes to show the
corruption of the Illinois legislature
which seems good argument for the
support of Owens resolution for a con
stitutional amendment providing for
the election Of senators by direct
vote.
Indications point to long and heat
ed debate before the Lorimer case is
ended.

No Anxiety in Shipping Circles
Over Action of the Government

The foreign companies them
selves" reads the statement, desired
a legal action for the purpose OF t.st-
ing whether the American antitrust
law affects their position. They are
convinced that the suit will serve only
to clear up the situation and prove
that the law is inapplicable and thus
put an end to the agitation of compet-
ing companies, who are the sole insti.
gators Of the movement against the
foreign companies
The statement concludes:
Leading American lawyers are Of
the opinion that such an extension of
the Sherman antitrust law to foreign
companies is impossible. Otherwise
the antitrust law could be applied to
all foreign manufacturers who export
to the United States and who are
members Of any syndicate.

Democrats of Massachusetts,
Rejoiced as He is Their
First Gov. Since 1905.
New Governor Makes a
Record by Delivering an
Inaugural Address That is
the Shortest and Plainest
Ever Known - Declares
the People Must Take
Control of Government.
BY Associated Press,

Boston, Jan. 5.-Eugene n. FOsS to-
day assumed the Office of governor of
Massachusetts.
The inaugural ceremonies, before a
joint convention of the senate and
house, were in the nature of Demo
cratic celebration, for Mr.. Foss is the
first governor of that party since 1905
and the third in eighteen years. Gov
ernor Foss also made another record
by delivering an inaugural address
that was the shortest and plainest in
the memory of the Oldest Office hold
ers beneath the gilded dome.
In his inaugural address the new
governor expressed his IDEAS on state
affairs and suggested many sweeping
reforms He told the legislature it
should consider direct nominations,
the initiative and referendum the
rights Of labor to organize and pro-
tected, the constitutional amendment
OF the income tax and reforms in elec-
tions. He asked that the state be re-
districted this year along lines run by
engineers and not by the irregular d.
visions drawn by politicians. He
criticized the merger two years ago
of the Boston and Main Railroad with
the New, York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad and denounced govern
ment by commission.
ADDRESS IN PART.
In his address Mr.. Foss said in
part: rt:-s------------F--- - X. s--s=J '---~7--
1--WE have a crisis in the affairs Of
this commonwealth. It is a crisis
which our form Of government is fac
ing today not only in Massachusetts,,
but in every state in the union. This
crisis is all the more marked in our
state because Massachusetts is the
birthplace of popular government. The
people in all sections of the country
have lost confidence in many Of their
public servants. The dictatorship by
political bosses and by representa-
tives Of special interests is hotly re-
sented. for these men desire to con-
troll public servants and to direct
legislation in their own ends.
This usurpation Of power can only
be ended by the people taking into
their own hands the direction and
control Of their government. The first
step is to abolish the boss and all his
agencies; the caucus. the nominating
convention and all political machinery
which intervenes between the people
and their government. Ali candidates
for psolic Office. without exception,
must be chosen by the people through
the direct primary. To the direct
primary must be joined the power of
recall; so that any public servant
who proves recreant to his trust may

Important as these steps are, it is
of far greater importance that the
people keep their power over legisla-
