Congressman Fred H. Dcminick, of
the Third congressional district, while
in Columbia today, was asked for an
expression of opinion as to the action
of President Wilson in calling the ex
tra session of congress to convene on
April 2. "I prefer not to say anything <
for publication at this time," said Mr.
Dominiek. "This is a time which de-;
mands the ^rious thought of every
body, and especially of those who
liave been, chosen Dy me peupic ?.u to
present them in the halls of national
legislation. I shall endeavor during
my whole term of service, whether
:n special or regular session to keep
the promise which I made to the peo
ple of my district?that I would do
my duiy as I saw it, in the interest,
of the people of my district, of my;
State, and of the nation." |
Congressman Dommick expects to
leave for Washington in ample time
va rooHv fnr the si>ecial session.'
The Democratic caucus heretofore
scheduled for April 12, four days be- .

was to have convened on April 16. |
will, of course, be held before the J
new date fixed for the convening or
the extra session, and Congressman ,
Dominick said today he waif" expect- j

"I think it is very wise. The quick

This was the statement made 'by
Hon. A. Frank Lever, congressman
from the Seventh South Carolina dis-i
trict, when informed this morning i
that President Wilson had called con- |
gress to meet in extraordinary ses-?
sion on t4pril 2. Congressman Lever,!
who is chairman of the agricultural j
committee of the national house of
representatives, -was at ms uumc iu
Lexington.
''Congress," he said, "should give ,
the president the power necessary to
protect the people and the country. <
He should he given plenty of money ]
with whicfi to malTe defensive prepa
rations. After this is done, congress
should pass the appropriation bills
left over from the last session, and

said.
Congressman Lever said further:
"Personally I am strongly opposed
to any entrance into "war except for
the purpose only of maintaining our
rierhts upon the high seas, as such
rights exist under international law
and usage. I desire peace at any
price save alone at a sacrifice of our
duty to protect American citizenq in
the exercise of the privileges given
