RICHARDSON FLAYS . HUNTSVILLE EDITOR | IN MAKING SPEECH Uses Shorter and Uglier
 Word" in Speaking of
 J. E. Pierce
PIERCE HURLS BACK
 THE SAME EPITHET
Some One in Crowd Offers to Swing Pierce in Yard.' But Richtfd- son COunsels Hearers to
 Moderation

Huntsville, March 9.-(Special )-William Richardson, Eighth district congressman, and a candidate for reelection, deliv- cred in this city to-day scathing de- nunciation of the Huntsville Times and of it's editor, J. E. Pierce, and his hery statement and subsequent fiery rejoinder by MT Pierce precpitated the most sen sational incident in the recent history of north Alabama.
 After reviewing his 12 years service in the Congress of the United States, the speaker referred to the Huntsville Times as the source and fountain head of many islanders against him which have been re- gently, he charged, put into wide circula- tion.
 In charging Pierce with having misrep- resented matters. the congressman em- ployed the shorter and uglier term, and in addition referred to the editor as "a lib- eller and a coward"
 Mr Pierce, who was in the audience, sprang to his feet and denounced the speaker as having spoken falsely, and he too used the Anglo-Saxon equivalent for falsifier.
 what mnght nave happened was pre- vented by loud voice in the audience which cried:
 Say the word, judge, and we will swing that fellow up in the yard"
 Judge Richardson, however, urged his auditors to refrain from all vio- lence and without more Interruption continued his speech. He explained immediately afterward that Mir Pierce had attempted to borrow. money from him, and charged that when he de-' clined to meet the request islanders started in the Times
 For a moment, however, the situa- ton was intensely exciting and 1t ap- peared that the power fuse only need ed the match to bring about sensa- tional explosion. The terrific arraign- ment of the judge is the sole topic of conversation tonight. No trouble is anticipated, however.

CLARK SPEAKS ID KENTUCKY SOLONS Accounts Progress Made by Democratic Party in
 Congress

Frankfort, Ky, March 9.-Speaker Champ Clark, guest in the capital of his native state today, recounted to the Kentucky legislative the record made by the democratic party in Congress.
 We have absolutely kept faith with the people," he declared to the state leg islators. we have redeemed or are in process of redeeming every promise we made in order to win the elections"
 Declaring that the tariff and that the question of trust control will overshadow all other issues of the coming presidential campaign, Speaker Clark said:
 ''lt has been given out in manner that seems authoritative that President Taft proposes to veto any tariff bills that we pass. We welcome the issue. We do not believe it can be binkered, postponed or minimized out of the way. The tariff law raises about s3SO, 900 GOO per year. It is es- timated that every time dollar goes into Uncle Sam's coffers under the high pro- tective system, about So goes into the pockets of the tariff barons.
 This being true, then the high protec- tive tariff costs the people of this coun- try q billion and a half dollars yearly. It is a gross outrage and cruelty upon the taxpayers"
 
 popular progressiveness, Mir Clark de- clared the only way to achieve progress
 is at the hands of the democrats. He said progressives in the republican party would enact remedial legislation if they could, but that the standpatters arc in the majority in that party, and it looks as if they would continue to dominate it indefinitely"
 Mr. Clark said on the strength of this condition he hoped for the support of democratic candidates this year. He de- clared the republicans undoubtedly would attempt to befog impending issues, and lure us away from the tariff and the trust questions, because they realize that on these issues we will defeat them most decisively"
 >The battle af tariff reform and the prop osition of control of the trusts, he de- clared, must be fought to finish. And on these questions" he said i've are un- doubtedly in the right"
 Before MT. Clark plunged into the political features of his address he re- ferred to his status as a Kentuckian 'I was born within IA miles of the point where now l am standng," the speaker told the legislature. There is a saying, once a Kentuckan, always a Kentuckian, and while I am proud of the imperial coming of Missouri which has honored me, yet l never come within sight of the Kentucky hills or hear the name of the state without pleasant thoughts of my old home Here as boy and a young man I worked on farm, clerked in a store lucky that went forth> to see the world unfold"
 | MT. Clark returned to Washing ton 1 this afternoon.

 It was the first time in the history of the Jewish colony on the West side that a President of the United States journeyed to that quarter and ad- dressed a Jewish assembly. In honor of President Taft's visit q time honored Jewish custom was broken for the first time in Chicago and a Jewish newspa- per was printed on the Jewish Sabbath. Soon after the President saw copies of the papers contained copies of the Pres idents speech sold on the West side.

 If you are sincere in your expression of willingness to submit President Taf. $ candidacy to the vote of the rank and file of republicans in a direct primary wherever such is provided by law said Senator Dixon in his letter, you will join with me in urging Senator Grain and his followers in the Massachusetts sen ate to concur with the house and thereby provide that all delegates from Massa- chusetts shall be elected in a direct pri. mary.

 An abundance of flags and placards bearing the salutation, We are all with you, Bill" nuttered into view.

great popular support and were able for
 a time at least to give the impression
 that others who were equally inlbued with the necessity for reform by legislative
 and executive government action, but who thought it might come without de- stroying the present structure of your government without obstructing the guar antee of life, liberty and property were reactionary and unsympathetc with the cause of the people.
 "The bitterness of attacks they made on men in public positions, the lack CT restraint that they manifested in in- peaching the motives of men as high minded and as honest as any of them, were only symptoms of a psychological moment that must pass under the calm ing lapse of time as the public came to view the situation with a knowledge of the facts and with that common sense and spirit of fairness that ultimately al- ways prevail among the American people.
 We all believe in popular government.
 Capable of Self Government
 "I am aware of the exposure to criti- cism which the suggestion that the American people may make mistakes by nasty action and lack of deliberation will expose one. I am aware of the ease with which such suggestion can he tortured into an expression of 8 distrust in the American people. 1 am aware that body of the people does not differ in cer- tain traits from the individuals who make it up and that people like to be flattered as do individuals. l know that a whole people do not any more than the indi- viduals enjoy having their own defeats pointed out to them. The truth is, though, that the mar who tells the peo- pie of the danger that many arise from mistaken and nasty action, pays higher tribute to them than the one who con- stantly lawns upon them as if they were incapable of errors.
 "The most abiding compliment that can be paid to the American people is to point to the fact that in the constitution Wnlch they framed and have maintained they have recognized the danger of nasty ac- ton by themselves and have, in it's checks and balances, voluntarily maintained a protection against it. The truth is that in this century we have vindicated popular government in a way that it has never been vindicated before.
 ''Distrust of popular government. The pride that I have that this is popular government and that it has shown itself the strongest In history is as deeply inn bedded as any feeling that is in me. would be the last man to exclude from the direction of the ship of state the will of the American people That is the uti- mate source of authority and it does not in any way minimize my faith and my love of popular government that I insist that that popular will shall have libera- tion to make it sound and safe. I fully and freely admit and assert that when the American people have had time to learn all the facts and have had time to con slider their bearing, their deliberate judg ment is a wiser and better guide to be followed by the state than the judg- ment of the most experienced statesmen. the most learned jurist, the most profound student of history.
