HENRY WILL NOT
Be CANDIDATE
The Texas Representative
Will Not Oppose Reflect
ton of Speaker Clark.

Washington. Nov. l4.-Representa-
tive Henry Of Texas. chairman Of the
rules committee OF the house, who wa,
. candidate for speaker two years ago
announced today that he would not
oppose Speaker Clark when the new
democratic house is organized.
1T Is not my intention to be a can
didate for speaker Of the house elect
ed" said Mr.. Henry. Requests from
many parts of the country urging me
to run have come to me. however, and
1t seems appropriate that I should
make public statement and ac-
acknowledgement Of my appreciation.
Unity Of action whenever possible
should be the first ambition of all good
democrats. Governor Wilson and
those acting with him cannot afford
to begin his administration with q fac.
tional contest against the present
speaker. Whatever our personal am
bitions. they should now be subordin-
ated to the good Of the democratic
party and the peoples cause"
1t is understood also that Mr..
Bryan is favorable to the reelection
Of Mr.. Clark as speaker. Expressions
from democratic members of the
house who have reached Washington
indicate that Mr.. Clark has little OF
no opposition for reelection.

IL sever and he had u right to say
with greater precision:
If It is permissible to hope that
all the powers will await the cessa-
tion Of hostilities before they attempt
to enforce their respective views and
at the time Of final settlement ii
neither isolated initiative nor hasty
measures arise to create hopeless dis
agreement. then the opposition inter-
ests will finish by agreeing to arrange
ments by which neither the Balkan
people nor the European powers will
suffer.
This was the hope expressed by
the British premier and it seems i'm
possible that his appeal will remain
unanswered. That a war certainly
the most frightful that ever befell
Europe could arise after SO many
earnest and sincere endeavors to pre-.
serve peace. would he in defiance of

DEMOCRATS WANT
TO GET At TARIFF
Most of Them Favor an Ex.
ira Session to Pass
Legislation.

Washington, Nov 14.-Owine large
~ to President-elect Wilson's intima-
ton that he would be pleased to re-
ceive suggestions regarding the desira-
oility OF an extra session Of congress
there was much freer expression of
opinion today among senators and
members of the house favorable to
such session than heretofore has
been INDUCED in. Among those who
advocated an early session was Sena-
tor Martin Of Virginia. who is the
caucus leader of the party in the SEN
ate.
I'm my judgment congress should
be convened as soon as practica BILE
after the fourth day of March" Sen.
ator Martin said. ''The democratic
party has been entrusted with power
because of the several important re.
form measures which were passed by
the democratic house in the Sixty-sec.
ond congress-. most Of which measures
we're also passed by the senate, al.
though the democrats did not have a
majority Of that body. and because OF
the promises and pledges made to the
people of the country in the platform
adopted by the Baltimore convention
I believe pledges of party should be
absolutely carried out. can see nc
reason why performance Of the prom.
ises of the party should be delayed
nine months. If the legislation prom.
ised is wise and Of such a nature as
to promote the welfare Of the people
the sooner it is enacted the better.
Sometimes it is suggested" the
senator added, that the democratic
majority in the senate is so narrow
and that there are such differences OF
opinion as are likely to prevent the
passage of promised legislation. Bu1
I am sure that these suggestions are
without any foundation. In fact.
have not the slightest doubt ahou
such harmony and cooperation
among Democrats Of the senate al
will secure the passage through thai
hody of all the legislation promised
the people in the Baltimore platform.
Mr.. Martin also expressed the opin.
ion that 1t would be possible for the
democrats Of the senate to legislatt
without the aid Of the progressive re.
publicans.
I'VE will. Of course. be very glad tc
have them with us again whenever
they can agree with u.s. he added
"hut having clear majority of the
senate I shall expect the senate tc
legislate strictly in accordance WITH
democratic doctrines"
