lark into tho caucus alter lie hud Ishmi wleeted as tho candidate for Sjieaker conisteJl if llepresentatives Kitchin of North Carolina, Martlet of Georgia ami Lloyd of Missouri. Mr. (lark said: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Democrats: Last IVcemlwr the Democratic caucus elected me minority leader by unanimous vote. A moment ago vou unanimously nominated me for Sneaker.

For these flattering evidences of xnur confidenei' ami esteem I am deeply rrateful. In the last days of the Sixtieth Congress we won gome notable victories, astonisti- ing victories, when we rememler that there was a Republican majority of in that House. We achieved those tri uniphs by standing together and fighting together. We can in the present Con gress win more victories more easily, liecau.se there, is now a majority of only 47 against us. We must stick together in order to do our duty.

The country expects us to stick together and light together. We must remember that to a very large extent we have in our keep ing tu- immediate future of the Demo cratic party. Recent events have dem onstrated that the Republicans are disorganized, disgruntled and at loggerheads generally. Let us close up our ranks, present a solid front and demonstrate to the world that we are worthy of the high vocation to which we am The only roll call taken showed 162 present out of 171 Democratic mcmliers of the House, theree or four Itel.ited members entering the caucus after the roll call. When the caucus met there was no indication of nv wide difference of opinion regarding the action that would be taken, nor was there anv evidence of a lolt.

The members of tfie Georgia dele- ation. who had prepared a set of reso-utions projHJf to bind the Republican "insurgents" to vote against Mr. Cannon for Speaker, to favor free de'vite and unrestricted amendment to the Tariff bill and to favor the adoption of a new-set of rules, oflcred a resolution proposing that each Democratic member of the House present at the caucus should l-e Unmd by its action. Representative Henry of Texas presided during the selection of officers, which resulted in the re-election of Representative Clayton of Alabama as chairman and will nominate Mr. Clark for Speaker of the House this afternoon.

Representative Robinson of Arkansas was elected secretary. Rep-resentalive I'nderwood of Alabama was recognized by the chairman to present his resolution, which pledged the mem bers to support the Deiforratie leader "in his efforts to overthrow the present arbitrary rules of the House and to adopt rules that will enable the majority of the Representatives in Congress to legislate. "To accomplish hat end," the resolu tion said, "we favor the enlargement of the number of the member on the rules committee to 15, to be elected by the members of the Houe, and we favor a thorough and complete revision of the rules of the House. The resolution also declared "that we denounce the present rules of the House of Representatives as a machine intended to thwart and destroy the representative character of the House and enable the Speaker of the House to absolutely control legislation regardless of the will of the majority." Before the vote was taken on the I'nderwood resolution Representative Livingston of Georgia offered the resolution proposed by the Georgians, and a lively debate followed. By this time 1G7 of the Democrat members of the House were present.

Representative Goidfogel of New York having arrived. Representative Moon of Tennessee left the caucus before it had taken any action on the rules question. He declared that his vote could be counted upon by Mr. Clark, but that it was against his principles to le bound by any caucus. Samuel M.

Gillmore, who was elected on March 10th to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative Davy of Louisiana, will not be here to vote in the House this afternoon, there being some question as to the legality of his election. There also is a vacancy on the Republican side of the House through the election to the Senate of Representative Burton of Ohio. Representative Clark of Florida claims to have arranged for a pair. If Representative McDermott cannot be counted upon to vote with the Democrats, their total strength will be lfiS when the previous question is moved by Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania In the House today.

There was soma indication that the Republican "regulars" were planning to delay action on the adoption of the rules for the Sixty-first Congress, in order to secure more time in which to assemble their forces. The Underwood resolution to bind Democratic members "to support Champ Clark in the proposed enlargement of the rules committee to 15 members, all elective by the House, was adopted. The Livingston resolution, which proposed to Bind the Republican "insurgents" to vote against Mr. Cannon for Speaker, was vote a down. The Democratic nominations for officers of the House were made as follows: For clerk, former Representative Kimball of Kentucky; for sergeaut-at-arms, J.
