. "lame Ducks" At Banquet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - Senator
Dixon of Montana opened the ''lame
duck" festivities last night at the Na.
tional Press club. He was the first
"lsme duck" called upon and in the
beginning of these remarks said he
was tot truly 'lame duck" that he
was merely going into cold storage
for the next two or three years, and
expected TO come out again as active
as ever in time to participate In the
election and Inauguration of bull
moose president four years hence.
Senator Dixon said he had no apol.
ogles to make and no excuses to give
for being ''lame duck" He told the
club that on March 4 he will "pack
his trunk and hike for Montana"
Later in the evening "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, another "lame duck" after
having considerable fun at Dixon's
expense, declared he was entirely
responsible for Dixon. For several
years, he said, Montana had none but
democrats In the house of representa-
tives and he and other republicans
saw to it that they accomplished very
little by way of legislation for their
state. This condition continued, be
said, until the voters of Montana con.
cluded it would be wise TO send repub-
licaus to congress If they hoped for
appropriations and other legislation.
"By this process of suppression,
said the ex.speaker, I'VE paved the
way for Dixon" He paid high tribute
to Dixon as . man; said he had been
q brilliant and successful member and
senator, but held up to ridicule
Dixon's abandonment of the republic.
can party. He concluded by apollo.
giving If he had said any thing that
was offensive to Dixon and offered to
buy the drinks if Dixon had any hard
feelings to drown.

OF other urgent subjects. While Mr..
Wilson has not indicated his purpose
Of bringing currency reform to the
