62ND CONGRESS
NOW In SESSION
Vast Amount of Business to Be Attended
to If Politics Do Not PTeVent--Much
Work to Be Done Over.

The following important legislation
will come before this session of Con-
gress:
Bills providing for important reduc-
tions in tariff.
Amendment to Sherman antitrust
law.
A Federal Incorporation act.
Arbitration treaties with Great Brit
ain and France.
Parcels post.
Ship subsidy plan.
Bill providing for currency reform.
Establishment of national depart
ments of health and labor.
Laws for operation, government and
maintenance of Panama Canal.
Bills to reduce appropriation budget.
Facing a session that will be almost
une qualed in the amount of important
legislation attempted, the Senate and
House met Monday in the first regular
session of the Sixty-second Congress.
Democrats, Republicans, Insurgents and
Republican Standpa' ters all admit that
the session, on the eve of the President
isl campaign, will be bitter and pro-
tracted.
There are few who think that the
session will end before next June. A
great game of politics, with each side
sparing for advantage, is to be played,
and nothing except the near approach
of the national conventions and the ne
cessity for fence building" will cause
the legislators to cease their labors at
the National Capitol.
Much of the work of the extra ses-
sion, which President Taft called in or
der to pass the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, must be done over again.
The President vetoed the tariff revision
bills passed by the Democrats ard the
Republican Insurgents, and both fac
hons are armed for the fray once more.
The Democrats have q good working
majority in the House, and the impor
tant bills on their program will be
passed quickly. These will be sent
along to the Senate, where a combina-
tion of the Republican Insurgents and
Democrats will endeavor to dispose of
them.
The House has two Presidential pos
sibilities-Champ Clark, the Speaker,
and Representative Oscar Underwood.
chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee-while Senator La Toilette, the
recognized head of the Republican In
surgents, is the leading Presidential
figure in the Senate.
The Insurgents in the Senate have
program of their own, which is very
similar to the Democratic program in
the House, and it includes in addition a
determination to amend the Sherman
antitrust law.

Trouble IN the Democratic Ranks.

Not all the insurgency in the country
is among the Republicans as the Demo-
cratic papers would try to make it sp-
pear. That there is trouble a plenty
within the ranks of the faithful is
! amply attested by the news coming
from our National Capital as will be
shown by the two kilograms following
from Washington:
Washington, Nov. 25.-Much interest
developed today in the Democratic
Presidential nomination race following
the criticism of Speaker Clark by Mr..
Bryan in the Commoner, which is be-
iieved by many to be aimed at Repre-
sentative Underwood. chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee.
Bryen's assertion is that since he be-
came Speaker, Clark has not displayed
those qualities of leadership that
brought him to the front"
Underwood has been the active lead
er in the House. Speaker Clark has
presided, and although the powers
which Cannon enjoyed were shorn from
the office, Clark so far has displayed no
sign of jealousy.
WOULD FORCE CLARK TO FIGHT
UNDERWOOD.
The question now arises as to whether
the Presidential situation will result in
Clark assuming more power and a pos
sible clash between Clark and Under
wood. The open enmity of Underwood
and Bryan is an accepted fact. The
exchange of the ''lie direct" last winter
left them no middle ground. The anti
Bryan men here today asserted that
Bryan hopes to force Clark to fight
Underwood, Party leaders, however,
are hopeful that there will be no real
damage to the smoothly running Demo-
cratic organization developed at the
reciprocity session last summer.
Washington, Dec. AFTER a con-
ference lasting many hours today Dem
ocratic leaders in the House of Repre-
sentatives were unable to reach q con-
clusion as to the future course of the
special committee into the affairs of the
United States Steel Corporation.
Speaker Clark, majority leader, Un-
derwood, and other Democratic chief
tains sought all day to patch up the
differences existing between Represent
atives Stanley, chairman of the com
mittee, and Littleton, Of New York.
The latter holds that the committee
should not continue to inquire into
phases of the steel corporations acts
which are now challenged in the suit
filed against it by the government for
violation of the antitrust law.

FOR VOTES
Another Week on Its Way
Vote at N. T., 5-10-25
Gents Store.~.

Here we are on another week. jour
ney Of the big contest and another week
nearer the fateful end. With this in.
view voters should become even more
studied in their determination to win.
Have you visited. the New York s,
10 and Csc. store. II not you have miss
ed a treat. Here you will ind exhib-
tied the most exhaustive array Of
china and glassware eve shown in
Perth Amboy. This store is proving a
perfect mecca for shoppers, and the
firm have jumped right into a fine bust
ness from the very first. Let the
votes prompt you to inspect the fine
showing of thousands of useful articles
before purchasing elsewhere.
The big contest is even drawing the
local sages out Of their comfortable
homes. Hundreds of the time-worn
pioneers of Perth Ar ~ have entered
into the spirit of occasion. It's
educational possibilities is the magnet
which causes them to sit up and take
notice.
This is an old story to the contest
man, for he has conducted these af.
fairs for the past ten years, and ex-
poets just such quality of appreciation
in any intelligent community from past
experiences. Innumerable organiZa-
tions and institutions are now enjoy
ing libraries which were the outcime
of these contests, and there is no esti-
mate which can be placed upon the
permanent value of this and future
generations on the thousands and
thousands Of good wholesome books
thus disseminated.
Don't forget to purchase everything
from a contest merchant and you should
fall in with the big procession and
, vote, vote, vote, for you are certainly
side-stepping the most momentous cpl
sode in Perth Amboy's history, wher
you miss the fun. This statement
sounds strong, but if you want to test
} it's veracity, just stop for ten minutes
in Levine's Department Store and
watch the busy lady in charge Of ths
] voting tickets and you will come away
, heavily laden with the burden of con
~viction. The same time spent in any
of the twenty-six stores issuing ths
votes will prove equally convincing
Next Saturday will reveal the tremen
dous power voting shoppers hold in thu
= big contest, and gosh buf they are
, making things hum.
