10 days or two weeks before the COM

Mr.. Clayton upon the credentials given
him by appointment of the governor.

Newspapers Containing Part of
Narrative Barred by His
Legal Advisors

Albany n Y, October l.--Goyernor
sulzer tonight was said to have per-
fected a plan for getting his whole
story before the public and at the same
time escaping cross examination on
more than part Of it.
1t was generally reported that IL his
attorneys continued to Insist on his
curtailing his sworn testimony as they
are said to be doing, he will obey their
demands but will issue a statement to
the newspapers containing that p1rt OF
his narrative barred by his legal ad-
visers. He will give out the statement
on taking the witness stand, IT is re-
ported.
Should he do this, he would get his
whole story to the people, which he
always has insisted he would a. COM
plish in some manner. One thing that
he has told many callers ana nlain :
tanned in talking with his counsel is
that the people are entitled To know
everything that he does about the in
ner workings Of political orglniza-
tons in the state. but his attorneys

The speakership of the House of
Representative used to be regarded
as the strong office of the govern
ment. 1t isn't any more. The demo-
Gratis and insurgent republicans at
tended to that in the famous fight
over the rules during the days of
Speaker Cannon, an event which has
become history The reins fell to the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee and the mantle of leadership
dropped from the shoulders of speaker
to parliamentary leader Of the party
on the floor. Mr.. Underwood is the
first chairman of ways and means
committee to whom all this power has
been given, and with the power came
an immense responsibility re-
sponsibility to the country and to his
party How, well Mr.. Underwood has
met that responsibility is evidenced
by the legislative achievements of the
democratic administration during the
extra session.
For years the republicans scoffed at
the democrats and designated the party
In the congress an ''unorganzed mob, "
every man freelance, and recognizing
no leadership. hence when the democrats
captured the Sixty-second Congress pre-
dictions were freely made that the ma
jority would not be controlled, and that
they could be relied to do some fool
stunt that would put the republicans
back into power.
But they failed to appreciate the force
and qualities Of leadership, the honest
and clean courage possessed by the new
leader of the democracy. lie took to his

tariff bill by President Wilson has
caused satisfaction among exporters
who hope to increase their business

portation, the United States now stands
third, being surpassed only by Ger
many and switzerland. Especially
gratifying is the reduction in the duty
on cotton, one of the principal Italian

AMBITION TO WRITE
TARIFF MEASURE

One of Mr.. Underwood's greatest ambi-
tions was to write a tariff bill upon the
statute books of his country. He has ac-
complished that ambition and has given
the country a bill lower on its rates than
any other structure ever enacted, and
one which he sincerely believes will work
no irreparable injury to the legitimate
business of the country, and. will ulti-
mately bring relief to the people by the
creation of healthy competition. There
VIII be general regret when Mr. Under
wood leaves the House. but If he is elect
ed to the Senate the country will he sat
shed that he has remained in the House
life and entered a new field in which his
ability and genius for constructive legis-
lation will have ample opportunity for tur-
ther development. 1t is also pointed out
that by the time Mr.. Underwood is sworn
In as a member of the Senate, If he is
elected, the greatest work of the party
Will have been done. Tariff currency and
anti-trust legislation will have been en-
acted, and the party will have reaped in
full the benefit of his leadership in the
