from my colleagues have been very

Congress- mutual friendship which

Hon. William A. Ashbrook,
House of Representatives.
Mr. dear Mr.. Ashbrook
am in receipt today of your letter
of the goth instant, asking me to ex-
press to you my opinion as to whether
1t is violation of the precedents and
practices of the Democratic party to
return a member of Congress to the
House of Representatives. for more
than two terms. There is certainly no
such proposition embraced in our par
ty faith or in our practices. UnQues-
tionably it is to the interest of dis
trict where it has an acceptable mem
ber of Congress to continue him in
office. The business of the govern
ment has grown so great and covers
fields of endeavor that reach into the
business, economic and social life OF
our people to such great extent that
a member of Congress to render the
business of legislation like he would
be trained in any other profession
More than that the men of long ser
vice are almost always the men who
commend the greatest influence in
the House, and undoubtedly member
who has been allowed by his consti
tuency to remain in Congress is in a
better position to render them effec
tive service than new recruit.
congratulate you upon the ear
nest and faithful service you have
rendered the party and the country
in the four terms that you have beer
with us in Washington.
With kindest regards, am
Cordially yours,

Speaker Champ Clark Says Don't
Swap Horses

Washington, D. c., July 21, 1914
Hon. William A. Ashbrook,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. G.
My dear Ashbrook:
have repeatedly stated in private
conversation, in public speeches and
public press, that my Judgment is that
Congressmen's service increase in
value in proportion to the length of
service, other things being equal.
| stated it very elaborately in a
speech when Judge DeArmond OF Mis-
souri, died and gave as reason why
he had risen so high in the House and
country, the fact that for eighteen
years, hand running, his Democratic
constituents had permitted nobody to
compete with him for nomination,
which gave him all of his time to stay
here and attend to his business, that
is, the public business. The same ar
gument l used in the DeArmond case,
applies in every case, Democratic or
Republican.
Abraham Lincoln said it was dan
gerous experience to swap horses in
the middle of stream and there are
SO many old members going out of
the House to the Senate and to the
bench, that we will need in the next
House all of the trained men that we
have.
Your frind,
Champ Clark.

Dear Mr.. Ashbrook:
Before leaving the city for brief

will in case you should not be in the
city when return. AS look back on
the two years during which had the

its fruitful and sincere character. IT
is my earnest hope that the ripe ex-
perience and broad knowledge you
have gained in your admirable SER
vice may long be at the disposal of
the people of your State in Congress.
AS in any other serious work, the
value of the worker grows with exper-

people and for the country by means
of the length of service which is SO
important factor and is so highly
considered in the work of the House
