KEH0E IS AFTER
CLARNS SCALP
Writing to Members-elect to
Revive the Old Bryan
Clark Feud.

Washington. Nov. 2s.-Although
practically all Of the leading democra.
tic members of the new house Of rep.
|resentatives have. declared their in.
tention, in public and private inter.
views, to support Champ Clark for re.
election as speaker. a movement has
been started which has his defeat as
it's object. The ostensible head of the
movement is ". j. Kehoe of Wash
ington. who was private secretary OF
the late Senator Carlisle Of Kentucky
and Who for some years has served
as secretary of congressional com--:t-
tees.
Mr.. Kehoe has written letters tt
democratic congressmen-elect through.
out the country. The letter follows:
Contents of the Letter.
ITO the democratic members-elect OF
the SiXty-third congress:
owing to the repeated attacks
whether justly or otherwise (since the

William Jennings Bryan, with whic',

ocrattc party. ! respectfully suggest to
the members-elect and urge upon the
new members-elect, who may not full.

the question Of the speakership of the

as they can, by personal informal tion
obtained on the ground, fortify them.
selves to judge and vote wisely on the
subject.
Members of the present house are
fully cognizant Of the fact that any
one Of a dozen or more members OF
the next congress is competent to
make an excellent speaker, but the
Question Of the success Of the dem
ocratic administration-whi will be
measured by its action on the many
vital questions which It will soon be
called upon to consider-is paramount
to the welfare Of either Of the dis.
tinguished gentlemen above named
Says Clark Has the Votes.
Among democratic members of the
house there could be found no one
who would say word Of encourage
ment for the Kehoe plan, nor on one
who sympathized with it. It produced
no comment at the speakers office,
and. apparently. no uneasiness. Wal
lace Bassford, the speakers secretary.
said that out of the 295 men who will
make up the membership of the new
house. 235 aready have either written
or verbally given their pledges to sup
port Mr.. Clark for reelection. This
Is considerably more than majority.
even II every republican should vote
for the opposing candidate. which
would be unlikely.

THE INCOME TAX
AMENDMENT SOON
Democratic Congress Will
Have to Construct Legisla-
tive Machinery for it.

Washington. Nov. 2s.-That ono of
the most important changes ever
made in the economic policy of the
United States will have to be under
taken at the special session of con-
gress to be called Immediately after
the inauguration Of President Wilson
was discovered yesterday. when demo.
cratic leaders, coming from the list of
states which have ratifled the income
tax amendment. found that only two
more state legislatures need give their
approval to a change in the constitu-
ton making the tax possible.
1t was found that thirty-four states
have ratified the proposed amend
ment. and that ten state legislatures
will meet in January. OF this number,
undoubtedly. two will take favorable
action. tt 80 20 that The matter wi!l be
which begins in December. Three.
fourths Of the total number Of states
must ratify the amendment. There
are forty-eight states, and when thir-
ty-sfx have acted the formula will
have been compiled with.
Purposes of the Democrats.
1t Is believed. however that the
democratic leaders will let the income
tax go over to the special session,
when the bill will be drawn up with a
view to its relation to tariff revision.
Because of the discovery that the
income tax amendment has virtually
come to a focus. the democratic lead
ers feel that the special session will
have to be devoted to general con-
sideration of the economic policy of
the government. An income tax will
supply q great deal Of revenue. now
obtained by the protective tariff.
Purely from standpoint Of revenue,
therefore. the democrats would feel
that their problem had been made
easy. They realize. however. that an
income tax, like the laws Of protec-
ton. will he felt mainly by the busi-
ness interests of the country. and they
are cautiously proceeding on the
theory that any blow at the prosperity
Of business will be blow at the earn
ing capacity Of workingmen and work.
ing women.
Glass Currency Bill Complete.
The leaders feel that 1t would be
unsafe to lower the tariff at the spe-
cial session and then. Just when busi-
ness is adjusting itself to the new con-
dttton, force the enactment Of an in
come tax, which would be an addition
al burden. 1t is felt that 1t will be
more equitable to treat all these
economic problems at the same ses-
sion. even including a revision of the
currency laws.
Representative Carter Glass Of vir-
ginia has completed his bill for the re-
vision of the currency laws. based
largely upon the Aldrich plan. with
the exception that the central reserve
association is eliminated in favor OF a
clause giving greater powers to the
comptroller of the currency. The
draft Of this bill was submitted to
William Jennings Bryan. who gave II
his general approval. while taking ex-
ception to minor defects.
