PADGETT CERTAIN
THAT DEMOCRATS
WILL WIN CONTEST
SEVENTH DISTRICT MEMBER
SMELLS VICTORY IN
THE AIR.
Declares That Majority in the House
Has Made Magnificent Record for
Performance-TaIks About Tariff
Legislation of Extra Session.

Congressman Lemuel p Padgett
feels very confident of the election OF
Democratic President, Democratic
House and a Democratic Senate, In
the elections of next year. He be-
leves that when the Sixty-third Con:
gress shall asse mble in 1913 that ev-
cry department of the Federal goy-
eminent, except the judiciary, will be
in control of the Democrats for the
first time since 1898, and for the SEQ
ond time SINCE 1857.
Congressman Padgett returned
Wednesday night from Washington
and will remain here for several
weeks. Mr. Padgett is not only en-.
thusiastic over the prospects of a
Democratic victory next year but he
is feeling mighty good over the work
done by the Democrats during the
special session just ended,
Il believe the. country Will accord
he Democratic majority in the
House full credit for it's earnest and
consistent eudeayors to redeem ey.
cry pledge made to the people and
upon which it was elected, declared
Mr.. PadgsU Ibis morning. We have
passed the Canadian reciprocity bill,
the campaign publicity measure md
three bills designed to reduce the tar
, if on the necessities Of life and have
, delved into the various departments
, of the government. And we gave
I statehood to Arizona and New Mex
, leo.
While il is true that three of the
l bills passed for the reduction OF the
. tariff were vetoed by the President,
Y that is a sin Tor which the Republic
2 cans and not the Democrats will have
s to answer. AnG | believe the Demo-
e Gratis in the House have decidedly the
f best of the matter in the controVer-
sy between the House and the Presl-
dent on the tariff measures In his
yeto6s the President did not cLaF
lenge the correctness of single
= schedule fixed by the Democrats but
J simply asked for DELAY pending the
report of a commission.
AS to whether or not there Will be
tariff legislation at the coming regu
lar session, | cannot of course say
The President will doubtless recon-
mend certain changes when the tariff
board makes its report, but whether
or not they will be satisfactory to th'
g Democratic House and the Republi
i0 can Senate remains to be seen.
~ NO parliamentary assembly i'll tn
lo history of this country has made
better record for performance thal
40 the Democrats of Congress during IN
~ recent special session. And In
10 trend toward Democracy is lncrea'
- ing all the time. The Democrats at
united ana confident and the Repu'
" licans are divided and many OF thei
- are secretly hoping for defeat. VI
less all signs fail the mex Presldei
will certainly be a Democrat"
Mr.. Padgett will remain for sewers
weeks at his home Lyle Creek Farm
r near Columbia. In October he wi
90 to Washington to attend the fn'
sessions of the Monetary Commissio
IT of which he is a member.

Veterans Say Closing Scenes surpass.
ngy RiotoGs.


Washington, March Veterans
say that the riotous scenes in the
house before the tariff board bill was
withdrawn surpassed IN violence and
turmoil that accompanying the close
of any recent session of that body.
The determination CT the Demo
Gratis TO Prevent the passage of thu
permanent tariff board bill exhibited
itself in most persistent filibuster,
which at times BOXED almost like the
famous rules fight" of last spring.
There were roll calls on motions.
every one of which meant the loss IT
more than a half hour. At last, while
the vote was being taken on the reso-
luton to force the bill to passage,
Republican Leader Payne, realizing
beth the impracticability of reaching
a favorable report and the narrow
margin Of time before adjournment
in a brief statement withdrew the
bill.
The horse then turned its atfen
ton to the appropriation bills, The
ciock was SIT back half hour AMI
in sGong contrast with the turbulent
scenes which had gene before the
house devoted itself to the exchange
of courtesies.
These were the more notable by
reason of the fact that they marked
the retirement of the speaker, joseph
g. Cannon, and the passage of house
control from a Republican majority
First Speaker Caa4ol asked Mr.
Underwood, of Alabama, to take the
chair, and Mr.. Cannon took a seat
amid his colleagues. Then speaker
tc.be, Champ Clark, offered resoiu
ton paying high personal tribute tt
the retiring speaker, and Acting
Speaker Underwood put the Geso!u
ton before the house, which adopt
ed it.
The resolution provided for a con-
mittee TO notify Mr. Cannon of thu
adoption" of the resolution and to es
cort him back to the rostrum. Actin:
