The general assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church, in
session at Bristol, Tenn, on last Thurs
day disposed OF the controversy over
the infant elect clause by adopting
and referring to the presbyteries for
their ratification substitute for the
first proposed declaration. The reso-
luton carrying the proposed substi-
tute clause was passed after the most
lively debate Of the present session ana
after a number of substitutes had
been voted down. The resolution was
changed to read: Being elect, all dy-
ing in infancy are saved and regener-
ated in the spirit of Christ" etc. The
canvass of the returns from the pres
byteries made today show that SUBJ
stitute, in substance the same as the
above, had failed to receive a three
fourths vote, although the presby-
teries asked for change. The present
elect clause reads: Elect infants,
dying in infancy, are regenerated and
saved" etc. Vigorous speeches were
made on the subject and various sub
stitu.es were proposed. Some strong
iy opposed any change, declaring that
the present clause rightly interpreted
does not teach infant damnation.
Others held that it was susceptible of
that construction. Dr. F. M. Woods
of West Virginia said any change
would be showing the white feather"
Ex- Governor NJ. F. Ansel Of South
Carolina, DR.. James l. Vance Of Nash
vile, DR.. E. NJ. Munroe of Dallas,
Texas, and DR.. r. A. Webb of Louis
vile, strongly urged the amendment.
In one of the most remarkable
speeches Of the present session OF
congress, Representative Dies, OF
Texas, Democrat, on wednesday as
sailed former President Roosevelt In
bitter terms and referred in almost as
bitter fashion to the leaders of his
own party, including Speaker CLARK
and Governor Wilson, to whom he
alluded as "Parson Wilson" Mr..
Dies foresaw the crumbling of the re-
public, the eventual rule Of the mob,
and assigned as the causes Of growth
of demagoguery the influx of ignorant
from southern Europe.
Tracing the history of Rome, Italy,
Greece, France and down to the pres
ent day in Mexico, the Texan express
ed his fervent hope that history
would not repeat itself under Ted
dy." He prophesied that Colonel
Roosevelt, because Of his victory in
Ohio, would "sweep the country" in
the coming presidential campaign.
You are pessimist," interrupted a
voice on the Republican side. mo, l
am not pessimist," shouted Mr..
Dies. IL only look for the worst.
Out of the jungle comes the lion
tanner. his hands reeking with the
blood of the wild beasts. Up goes the
cry, We want Teddy! We want Ted

He attacked Speaker Clark and Ma
jority Leader Underwood for their
alleged failure to sustain the old DEM
Ocratic principles. In like vein and
for the same reason he assailed Mi
nority Leader Mann and Represen-
tative DalZell, of Pennsylvania, for
what he charged with desertion from
their political faith. Berger is the
biggest man in this bunch" he said,
referring to the lone Socialist men,
