the House, and even if he was sure he could win he was not willing to lend himself to a candidacy that would wreck the House Democratic majority at the beginning of the Will son administration
 Bryan Not Against Clark.
 Being Col. Bryan's friend, Mir. Hen rvs candidacy would have been con- strued as an effort to renew the feud that arose at Baltimore between MT, Bryan and Mir. Clark. It is known here that Mir. Bryan acQuiesced in Mir. Henry's declination to oppose Mir, Clark
 Upon taking this stand, Mir. Hen ry voiced the sentiment of most Of Mir. Bryan's friends in the House. The aim of Democratic leaders here is to bring about unity of action among their leaders with the view of redeem ing the pledges made at Baltimore.
 Mir. Bryan, it is known, is doing his best. to be friendly with Messrs. Clark and Underwood of the House and party leaders in the Senate. He has not said a word directly or indirectly against MT. Clark. MT. Bryan's close friends say that he would not undo what he did at Baltimore, but that he is willing to meet MT. Clark half way now.
 Representative Henry, the only man in the House that has been mentioned as a possible opponent of Speaker Clark in the Speakership contest, has told his supporters that he would rather see an administration in behalf of the people than to be Speaker Of the House or to hold any office under President Wilson.
 Mir. Bryan has been for conciliation and concentration ever since the cleo tion. His visits to Washington have been to that end.
 Democratic leaders in Washington do not believe that Mir. Clark will be antagonistic to Mir. Wilson if Bryan is appointed to his Cabinet They see no reason why MT. Clark, as Speaker of the House, and MT, Bryan, as a pos sible Secretary of State should clash
 Mir. Underwood has announced that the Committee on Ways and Means will give hearings from Jan. 6 to Jan S1. This gives time for schedules on chemicals, oils and paints, ;earths, earthenware and glassware, metals wood sugar, tobacco, agricultural pro ducts, cotton manufactures, flax anC hemp, wool and sundries. The pro posed bills will be ready by the mid dle of March.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9O.- Speaker Champ Clark has replied to recent editorial printed in the New York World which commented upon what might happen if Mir. Bryan should be. come member of Mir Wilson's Cab- met The suggestion was also made that Speaker Clark should find bis personal resentment is such that he can have no political or social rela- tions with Mir. Bryan, and if his at titude threatened to embarrass Presi- dent Wilson-then the House should elect a Speaker who would be in har. mony with the administration.
 The World also expressed it's be- lief that if Clark had been nominated at Baltimore instead of Wilson he would have been defeated
 Commenting on the article Speaker Clark said;
 "There is no use for me to try to answer that editorial The only way to answer an editorial like that is by suit for slander
 "The World has been against me ever since William Randolph Hearst and Senator William J. Stone came out for me-"
 Further than this MT. Clark would not go.
 There is no organized effort among House Democrats to defeat Mir. Clark for the Speakership. and there is no prospect of any such thing. MT. Clark wants to succeed himself. He has written a letter to each of the 295 Democrats elected to the next House, saving that he will be a candidate for the Speakership. Two hundred and sixty-three members have pledged themselves to vote for him. The re- maining thirty-two have not been heard from. The Bryan Democrats of the House do not anticipate any fight on Mir. Clark; they have no dis position to start such contest.
 Soon after the November election when William Bryan was here' Representative Robert L. Henry of Texas, Chairman of the Rules Commit tee. announced his declination to run for the speakership against Mir Clark. Mir. Henry said, when he made this announcement, that he was un' willing for Governor Wilson to begin his administration with the handicap of such family row as fight against Speaker Clark would make.
 A contest between himself and MT Clark, he declared. would mean cer tain split in the Democratic party in

GOV. HOOPER AND FUSION.

Fusion of Independents and
republicans has been and would
continue to be the best ever po-
li,ical omen to Gov. Ben w.
Hooper, but when fusion was
undertaken by the democrats
under the advice of w. ]. Bryan
in 1896 to right the then existing
many social and economic
wrongs of the nation, the same
Hon. Ben W. Hooper could not
bear with equanimity the
thought of the suggestion OF
fusion. The whiskey trust, too,
was then a heavy campaign
fund investor against fusion, but
where was the Governors indie
pendence then? 1t was not
visible. His vote was cast on
the side to which the liquor
trust, the money trust, the rail
road trust and every other un-
unlawful combination of capital +,
graft and vice had so heavily
contributed, and assisted in
raising the stupendous sum Of
eleven million dollars campaign
fund and the "hurry up" five
millions of dollars additional to
be spent in five doubtful states
a week before the election.
Let the prohibitiouists remem-
Der this political history. Let
us also remember the history Of
the struggle for the mainten-
ance of statewide prohibition IN
Tennessee and the service well
performed by Governor Hooper
in that memorable struggle,
bearing in mind that Governor
Hooper was given the Govern
orship to perform the speclnc
service for which we give him
credit. Remember, too, that
the honors conferred upon him
should have been better appre-
ciated than is Indicated by his
suggestion that fusion and the
title, honor, responsibility and
emolumentS of the Governorshlp
should be bestowed upon him
again or forever.

TITANIC HEIRS MISSING
Two-Continent Search Fails to

A search of nearly nine months has

Gregory. who told Of making a fruitless

Smart was president OF the American
Cold Storage and Shipping Company and
a member OF the Produce Exchange. His
home in this city was at the Hotel Vic
toria 1t was known that he had son
and n daughter at school In Europe, but
not even F. X. Seward, OF counsel for his
company knew where they were.
There is possibility that they do not
know yet that their parent was one o.!
the unfortunate passengers Of the lost
Titanic. Strangely enough, the Will OF
Smart does not leave any Of his estate
to his children. He provides for the pay
ment OF his debts and then leaves two
thirds OF the residue OF his estate {,
