Washington. March 3l.--Speaker Champ
Clark's speech in the House to-day. clos
ing the argument for the opponents OF
the canal tolls exemption repeal bill, was
one OF the most dramatic features of this
extraordinary contest. The Speaker said :.
Mr. Speaker. there is no personal issue
between the President of the United
States and myself There has not been

criticism Of the President. At no time

the President said one single word Of
criticism OF me. In the nature OF things

providing for the construction Of the
canal.
on this motion. with its reservation OF
the right of the United States TO control
the Panama Canal Zone, the anti-repeal
forces pulled their largest vote-l76 to 232
against il. The Democratic leaders,
Speaker Clark and Mr. Underwood, car
ried siXty-one of their Democratic col
leagues with them on this vote. All ex-
cept thirteen of the Republicans voted for
the motion and two Progressiyes stood
with the anti-repeal forces.
The last rollcall was on the passage OF

Before the final speeches Of Speaker
Clark and Mr. Adamson were made the
House listened 20 arguments In favor Of

Speeches against repeal were made by

Mr.. Mann received an ovation from the

I'VE want war with no nation. but
rather than surrender our right TO our
complete sovereignty over every square
foot OF our Globe-encircling domain We

Mr. Clark insisted at great length that
the President was wrong in declaring the
tolls exemption "a mistaken economic
policy" and at still greater length he
argued that the exemption was not in
OF the treaty with Great
Britain.
In conclusion. the Speaker contended
that the repeal of free tolls meant the
practical abandonment OF the Monroe
Doctrine, and he added
Now may the God Of our fathers, Who

BLAMES CROWN PRINCE
Version of War BY South Dakotan
Recently Returned from Paris.

Aberdeen, Sept. 1S.-Frank Ash
ford, an artist who has spent a num-
Der of years in Paris, has just ar
rived in Aberdeen to spend some time
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. f. p.
Ashford, who live in Brown county.
He left Paris September /, going to
Havre, where he sailed for New York
September 2, succeeding in securing
a first class passage. He states that
though a siege of Paris seemed GER
tain when he left, the Parisians were
calm, and 10 excitement to speak of,
but that business was also at a stand
still. He stated that the feeling of
the French is very bitter against the
Germans and they would fight until
the last man against the invaders.
The French blame the German crown
prince rather than the kaiser for the
war, holding that it is the crown
prince, rather than his father. who is
chiefly responsible for the present
conflict.
