Speaker Clark asserted that In trip
covering more than 1000 miles, whlch
he has made since the adjournment OF
Congress, he heard only one man VINO
objected to the stupendous appropria-
fions made by Congress since this coun-
try entered the war.
That man" said the Speaker. TO my
certain personal knowledge, has always
kicked about everything he ever heard
of, SO not much Importance Is to be
attached to his objections"
Dwells on Great Struggle.
In a talk filled with Characteristic
Champ Clark anecdotes, the Speaker
dwelt on the magnitude Of the struggle
in which this country is q participant.
and laid special emphasis on the point
that partisan politics has disappeared
from Congress for the duration OF the
war.

Appropriations. might have been .

porting the measures. and partisanism
disappeared as completely as IL it had
never existed
I'm two days the House passed bill
authorizing a bond issue of s7,oo0,0o0 :
600. and the only kickers-and they did
all their kicking on the outside-were
the fellows who were sore because the
bill wasn't passed in one day. i
The extra session Of Congress pass
ed bills appropriating more than
$4,000. 100000. Every dollar asked for.
necessity for the appropriation. was
appropriated. And I want to say that
~ long a. this war lasts, whether It
be six months or six years. Congress
will provide every dollar and every
man that Is needed, until the objects
for which this country entered the war
have been attained"
