Taft Promises
Tariff Revision.
Reciprocity Cuts Secondary Figure, as
Democrats Have Outlined a Preten-
tious Political Program.
With vociferous demonstrations of
exultation on the part of the militant
Democrats of the house of represen-
tatives, over which they have gained
control after sixteen years of de-
feat, and calm, dignified and rouiine
proceedings on the part of the senate,
which barely remains Republican, the
Sixty-second congress met for the first
time, convened in extraordinary ses-
sion by President Taft to consider his
reciprocity pact with Canada.
Champ Clark, who received an ova-
tion, was elected speaker of tue house,
polling 217 votes to 131 for James R.
Mann, of Illinois; 15 for Henry A.
Cooper, of Wisconsin, and one for
George W. Norris, of Nebraska, all
Republicans.
The votes for Cooper were cast by
insurgent Republicans and indicates
that they intend to maintain a sepa-
rate working organization. t
The day marked the opening of the |
trial of the Democratic party to de-'
monstrate its worthiness to receive |
“the wider confidence” of the voters |
of ‘the country. Asking his colleagues ,
to keep that fact uppermost in their
minds during the present session of
congress, Clarp, in his speech accept- |
ing the speakership of the house, out-
lined the measures through which the
Democratic party hopes to continue to
enjoy the faith of the people.
Intelligent revision of the tariff,
election of United States senators by
popular vote, changes in the house
rules to permit proper consideration
of public measures, economy in hand-
ling the purse strings of the country,
the publication of campaign contribu-
tions, and the early admission of New
Mexico and Arizona to statehood, were
some of the things which Speaker
Clark emphasized in the Democratic
program as measures which would be
undertaken by the majority party in
the house.
The ceremonies of the house held
an unusual interest. New hands were
at the wheel, while the helmsmen of
former days were about to engage in
the pastime of rocking the boat. The
transition from a month ago was com-
plete.
New faces were everywhere to be
seen. Democrats not only filled the
side of the chamber allotted to them,
but poured over into the erstwhile sa-
cred precincts of the Republicans.
Everybody appeared to be in the
best of humor. The Democrats wore
smiles that would not come off, while
the Republican minority also smiled—
a grim kind which meant that they
were going to try to even up for the
troubles the Democrats gave in days
of Republican supremacy.
The program, always an interesting
spectacle, was followed with uncom-
mon keenness. It included the calling
of the house to order by Major Me-
Dowell, veteran Republican clerk, who
is soon to be replaced; calling of the
roll, election of the speaker, his
speech of acceptance, swearing in of
the members by state delegations and
drawing for seats.
There are always a few privileged
members who are allowed to choose
their seats in advance of the draw-
ing. They include usually the oldest
member of the house, in point of ser-
vice, General Bingham, of Per '=ylva-
nia, the minority leader, and one or
two others as the house leaders may
designate.
Noiwithstanding that the opening of
the extra session in the senate was
quite secondary in interest to that of
the house, there was a large attend-
ance in the galleries.
Of the senators sworn, seventeen
were men who never before had occu-
pied seats in the senate. Twelve were
Democrats and five Republicans, the
new Democrats being Messrs. Bryan,
Florida: Chilton, West Virginia;
Hitchcock, Nebraska; Johnson, Maine;
Kern, Indiana; lea, Tennessee; Mar.
tine, New Jersey: Myers, Montana;
O'Gorman, New York; Pomerene,
Ohio: Reed, Missouri, and Williams,
Mississippi.
New Republicans were Messrs. Lip-
pitt, Rhode Island; McLean, Connecti-
cut: Poindexter, Washington; Town.
gend, Michigan, and Works, California,
The senators were sworn in by
squads of four, colleagues of new men
escorting them to the vice president's
desk.
As soon as the last of them had left
the vice president's dais the roll was
called. Eigthy-six senators, within five
of the entire membership, were in at-
tendance.
The political complexion of the Six-
ty-second congress follows:
Senate—Republicans, 50; Demo-
crats, 41: vacancy, 1.
House—Democrats, 228; Republi-
cans, 160; Socialist, 1: vacancies, 2.
To Restore Canteen. :
A bill to restere the army canteen
was introduced by Representative
Bartholdt, of Missouri, in the house.
Mr. Bartholdt declared the restora-
tion of the canteen is necessary for
the preservation of health and decent
eonduct in the army.
Reform Mayor Kills Himself.
Mayor Shafer Signel, of Hacketts-
town, N. J. committed suicide by
hanging himself from a beam in his
blacksmith shop.
Sigler first cut his throat with a
penknife, and when this method was
unsuccessful he hanged himself. His
wife found the body.
Mr. Sigler, so far as known, had
‘no financial troubles. He was elected
mayor last November and tried to in-
troduce a reform policy, but was un-
successful. His friends believe this
