Congress he found a great change at
Washington. Cleveland was out of
the White House and Mckinley was
in; Thomas B. Reed presided over the
House instead of Crisp; there were
206 republicans in the House and 1874
democrats and the Senate was repub-
lican. Congress had been called in
extra session March Is, 1897, by Pres
ident Mckinley to repeal the Wilson
tariff act and pass a protectionist
measure.
Speaker Reed appointed Champ
Clark on the committee on foreign
Iaffairs. Soon came along the Cuban
crisis there was demand from the
country for an end to the horrors of
the Spanish regime in Cuba. AS a
member of the committee on foreign
affairs Champ Clark took active part
in all preliminaries leading up to the
declaration of war. Later he taunted
the republicans with the charge that
the minority took the administration
by the scruff of the neck and threw
lit into the war with SPAIN
Aside from the spectacular contest
for the presidential nomination in the
Baltimore convention, with which
every one is familiar. the most dra-

gressional career was his connection

of Clark marks the final transition of
Legislative methods from the Ham

back to the realm of Jeffersonian

That fight marked the change IN
the control of the House. which con-
tinues to this day.

of the House as the result of the con-
sressional elections of 1910. when

Champ Clark's congressional career
began when Congress was called in

PLEA FOR CREDITS
Greek Economic Situation Seri-
Gus, Declares Premier.
Food Scarcity and Labor Riots
Threaten Revolution.

Athens, Feb. 10.-Economic condi-
tons in Greece are becoming serious.
The expectation of tobacco and other
products is at a standstill, the army
in Smyrna is costing 100000 drach-
mas per day and the treasury receipts
are dwindling daily.
The new Greek premier has in
formed Edward Caps, American min
lister to Greece, that the financial sit
uation is desperate, and that only the
United States can help by advancing
some s33,000,000 on credits created
in 1918. -
Inportations are more than three
times expectations, and hundreds of
thousands of tons of shipping are idle.
The government hesitates to increase
it's floating debt by issuing more bank
notes without permission from the in
ternational financial commission.
Food prices are mounting in proper
ton to the decline in the exchange
rate on the drachma, now fifteen to
the dollar. 1t is almost impossible to
obtain meat and it may soon be neces-
sary for the government to issue bread
tickets.
The electricians strike, called this
week, may become general. Naval en-
gineers occupied the electric power sta

city was plunged into darkness at z

Miami, Fla, Feb. 1o.-sIf the

and the voters will not be willing to
act thru the Democratic party unless
they can. control it," said VIM. Jen-

ment yesterday in New York by for
mer Judge R. c. Roper, of Nebraska,
that Mr.. Bryan and his brother,
Charles, planned a reorganization of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Bryan said
he had not known that a definite date
for the launching of the movement
had been set as announced by Judge
Roper.
II am in constant association with
my brother" he added. my theory
has been democracy is a government
in which the people rule, and Demo-
cratic party must recognize that au-
thority comes up from the bottom and
not down from the top.
IF the proposed meetings of the
subcommittee or the full committee
have no higher purpose than the
boosting of some particular aspirant
for office. they will do little. If, how
ever, the members of the committee
want to outline a constructive plat
form and call upon rank and file for

ONE GRAND RUSH.
Office Seekers and "Hobby
Riders" Swamp President-EIect.
But Harding Keeps Appoint
ment List at Minimum.

st. Augustine, Fla. Feb. 1.-The
quadrennial tidal wave of office seek
ers and advice givers that always en-
gulf a president-elect on the eve of
his inauguration is rising steadily
about Warren G. Hardings headquar-
tiers here. Screened away from Mari
on by the conferences of best minds"
and then held at bay for three weeks
while Mr.. Harding was on vacation,
the rush of the job hungry and the
''hobbyriders" promises now to as
sumo the proportions of a deluge. Its
force is not softened by the circum-
stances that Republicanism has not
tasted of the plums of patronage for
eight years
With just three weeks remaining
before the advent of the new admin
istration. more than one of the aspir-
ing is becoming less and less conf
dent of his prospects and is taking
his case in his own hands, with GER
tain touch of desperation. So Mr..
Harding's appointment list, even after
it has been boiled down and spread
out to dry by his secretaries, has as
sumed large proportions.
OF course many of those who have
engagements to see him have been
summoned for consultation on various
serious problems, but the president
elect prides himself on being a good
listener and he wants to be accessible
proportion of the people he feels COM
PEELED to see are those who want some
thing for themselves or for their
friends and who insist on presenting
their case even tho the selection of a
cabinet and the preparation of an in
augural address must wait.
Despite the influx of visitors, how
ever. Mr.. Harding expected to keep a
part of each day for work of his own
choosing. To offset his heavy appoint
ment list today he arranged a golf
game for the afternoon and planned
to take an automobile ride before din
ner.
The president elect came back from
his vacation in fine spirits and appar-
emily in perfect condition physically.
AS a precaution, however, his physi-
clan, DR.. E. C. Sawyer, of Marion,
who has accompanied him on every
previous trip away from home since
his nomination, is expected to come
to st. Augustine next week to remain
until inauguration.
