Ford, according to the Florence Citi-

and driven by George Schiro met the

mice and It is thought that in the twi-

Washington. - Congress assembled |
and organized Monday for the session
which is expected to be the greatest |
within the memory Of the present gen
Grafton.
Four hours work in the House saw |
Speaker Clark returned to the chair,
Representative Mann returned to the
leadership Of the Republican minority,
the introduction of 1000 bills and reso-
lutions. many Of them proposing meas
ures of national defense and many
more in opposition; the temperance
of constitutional amendments to en-
franchise women and a miniature rules
nght that fickered out with the adop-
ton of last years rules with a few
changes.
In the Senate practically nothing
was done except the election of Sen
ator Clarke, of Arkansas, as President
pro tempore. Vice-President Marshall
was absent because of the illness of
his wife.
The real business of the session be-
gan Tuesday with President Wilson's
address to a joint session in the hall
of the House.
The greatest budget of expenditures
ever placed before any American Con-
gress in times of peace was brought in
from the various branches of the Gov
ernment, the total being about $170,-
100000 more than was asked for last
year. The great part of the proposed
increased expenditures is for the en-
larged army and navy programs, and,
Sside from working out the problem of
: national defense, it will be the business
of Congress to raise the revenue to pay
for it.

down before the Presidential Demo

next few months. Uncle Joe" Can

and laughed while the House got into
its little row over the rules and hot
references to "Cannonism" were hurled
back and forth across the dividing
aisle.
In the stream of bills and resolu

not only plans for military prepared
