the plea that they. as party. will make
to the little group OF independents and to
certain marked men of the Republican
faith that are known to be admirers of
President Wilson.
Speaker Champ Clark believes that the
Democrats will organize the House be-
yond any possible doubt. He said to-
night
THE House of Representatives will be
organized by the Democrats. know this
and 1t Is absolutely certain and abso-
lutely right. The Democratic party Is
the responsible party in the government
Of the United States today. and the
work Of the House Of Representative
demands that the organization shall be
in accord with the Senate and the Presi-
dent"
Asked for figures, Speaker Clark de-
clined to discuss the question Of or

Mr.. Mann. They have to talk, but they
haven't the votes, and It will be the

Were the international problem less
acute, there would be not the slightest
doubt that with the votes Of Represen-
tatives Schall, Of Minnesota, Fuller, Of
Massachusetts. and Martin, Of Louisiana
the Republicans could and would elect
a Speaker and organize the next House
Of Representatives. The other Independ-
ents, Randall, Of California, Prohibition
list, and London, Of New York, Socialist,
are expected to vote with the Democrats
In organization.
But 1t is within the rank and file OF
the Republican party in the House that
the Democrats are hoping to pick up the
one or two votes necessary to organize
the House and parcel out the committees
with . Democratic chairman and Demo-
cratic majorities on each.
The Senate will announce its complete
organization Monday.

the arrival Of ships or when any of them
will sail for European ports. There is no
power Of censorship in our country The
President does not have any authority
over the press. In this time of national
emergency, I feel sure that every news
paper will accede to the request not to
even give a hint or speculation of the
sailing of American ships. Such publica-
ton might result in the loss of life. As
the reasons are so obvious for making
this request there is confidence in ad-
ministration circles that this request wifi
be complied with by every paper in the
country.
High Patriotic Service.
IAN patriotic Americans are ready to
make sacrifice for their country in times
Of emergency. The press can render the
highest patriotic service by refraininr
from printing at this time what ordinaf fiIv
they would freely print

request, which Is made as an appeal to
patriotism, to all journalists ana dissemi-

ers can have Is that the government will
protect the rights Of Americans to the
freedom Of the seas. The publication of
details can serve no good purpose and
might jeopardize human life. All read
ers will surely applaud the papers in
responding to this appeal.

company has been greatly increased
this season, nearly trspling that Of
