Capt. Johnson alleges that the
Monroe was proceeding at half speed
or less before the accident and had
laid to after hearing fog whistles.

complished since 1t came into control
OF the government, less than year
ago, and confidence in the program
Of the administration to complete the
work of carrying out the promises of

voiced here by Speaker Champ Clark
In q. campaign speech for Henry Vol

gress to succeed the late Represen-
tative Irvine S. Pepper.
For sixteen long and wearisonle
years" said the speaker. "all the
Democrats could do was to promise
what they would accomplish IL they
were given power. Now all that is
changed! We can with pride and
pleasure talk about what we have
done and also about what we intend
TO do.

the republic knew that IL we carried

the increase is needed and for con-

1T Is claimed that IL lodges too
much power in the hands OF the nresS

that regard is whether it is better to
