Washington, Aug. 22 Champ Clark, speaker of the house of repre sentatives In a review of the work : of the first Bession of the sixty-secand congress, declared that the demo cratic party set a good example for democrats everywhere, and that the party had redeemed every promise It made in the campaign of 1910 when the democrats wrested control of the house from the republicans. "At this Bession the democrats have made a fine record which has surprised our friends and dumb' founded our enemies," said Speaker Clark. "It has put. heart and hope Into democrats everywhere. The ex Ira session was extraordinary not only In the sense of being a special Khsion called by the president. lut also In the amount and quality of the work erne in the house by the combined democrats and insur- gente, and the combined democrats and republican insurgents in the sen ate and especially by the unanimity of action developed by the house democrats. "It was predicted freely, vocifer ously, enthusiastically and confident ly by the 'stand-pat' press and ora tors that we would go to pieces. On that account and by reason of that hope they rejoiced that the extra session of congress was called, so that we might go to pieces at the earliest possible date. ' But we have sorely disappointed all their expec tations. They even set the date when we would go to pieces which was the day the democratic Caucus on Janu ary 19, but unfortunately for them. In that caucus everything was done unanimously. They then said surely we would go to pieces as soon as we reached the tariff question but again they were doomed to disap pointment, and we did not. .go to pieces, at all. We are more thor oughly united In the house at the enct of the session, if possible, than at the beginning. "We have set a good example to democrats everywhere. Sneered at for years as a party of mere nega tion and as being utterly lacking in ability for constructive statesman ship, we passed through the house more constructive legislation, and better, than has passed through any house in the same length of time In twenty years. We have set the pace In that regard for future houses. "We redeemed every promise made In order to carry the elections in 1910. We have economized; we passed the reciprocity bill, the wool iaritf bill, the free list bill, the cot ton bill with the senate amendments. .(Continued on Page Five.) FAIR. REPRESENTATIVES .
