Washinotojt, December 28:
Democrats throughout the coun
try will regret the recent fhrafcH
fight which occurred in the bouse
of representatives between
Messrs Williams and DeArmond.
H Both are men of advanced years i
MM who have von the respect of the!
country by their long and creditable
service in the bouse and;
that they should have so far for-1
gotten themselves as to have I
.erigaged in a rough and tumble
" "^iSght is to be sincerely regretted.
. The immediate occasion of the
quarrel was a misunderstanding
between them * regarding the |
committee assignment between
the two men for the position of
Democratic leader. Mr DeAr*
mond made an earnest fight for
| Ni the honor during the fall and
L Mr Williams won out Mr DeI
< Armond thought that as Mr WilI
liams bad been elected at the
ft primaries of his State to the sen*
ate, he might stand aside for
B some other member of the house
B when it came to the honor of
B Democratic leadership, while
BBrtlr^Williams was unwilling to
HJKonclnde his career in the low-j
HHBm" chamber with less honor
SBBthan he. bad enjoyed for some
HBWjtime past. It is expected' that;
these men, both of whom are es- j
sential to the best interest of j
the Democrats in the house,
will be brought together by
friends and that remembrance
of their encounter will be hashed
up in so far as that is possible.
An instance of Speaker Can&
lion's absolute domination of
% the house is afforded by the case
of Representative Burton and
the committee on Rivers and
.* ' naroors. ueiore ine noose met
Mr Barton, who is a good Republican,
by the way, announced
publicly that he would not
S, again be chairman of Rivers
Harbors, which is a most
L; arduous position and which he
has filled with great credit
thmnirh several concresses.
Mr Barton fell he had earned a
I {dace on the important com*
I^Snittee on Ways and Means
Hwwhich has to]do with the making
By of the tariff. He had, however,
figf expressed sympathy for the tar*
iff reyision views of Secretary
Taft and that was enough for
Mr Cannon. He notified Mr
Barton that he could not have a
place on Ways and Means and
that unless be served on Rivers
and Harbors again he would be
deprived of all committee as*
signments. Mr Burton sought
to secure the support of some

of bisdRepublican colleagues in
a fight against the speaker, bnt
thsy were all so afraid of Cannon's
displeasure that they
would not join with him and
consequently he is again chairman
of Rivers and Harbors
while Representative Longwortn,the
Prsident's son-in-law,
gets the Ohio vacancy on Ways
and Means.
The refusal of the New York
county Republican committee tc
endorseGo ve rnorHugbes for the
presidency constitutes a severe
et-back for the presidential
boom of that executive. The
fact is that lfr. Hughes, who u
really a resident of New York
city and in sympathy with all
the hatred of President Roosevelt
which the Wall street gamblers
and the railroad manipulators
ieel toward the president
has been making insinuations ir
his speeches which reflected
discredit on the president* and
-whirh ahnnrori tmw Httle he WSfi
in sympathy with that form oi
Republicanism, which is almost
Democracy, for which Mr Roose
y^U stands. The governor wa*
misled by the intensity of the
hatred of Rposevelt among hie
associates and thought it quite
safe to throw mud at the max
wfiom they all hate. That h<
made a mistake is clearly shows
by the action of the New Toil
committee. Most of the Re
publican politicians still hat<
Roosevelt and they bate Tatttoo,
but they are too smart to make
the mistake of thinking that the
rank and file of the party hate
them.
The opinion is freely express,
ed in Washington that Hughes
is, or soon will be, oat of the
presidential race. Secretary
Cortelyoc, whose entire strength
lay with the bankers whom he
has so largely befriended, has
L! ll >iLJ r__

race and the result is that Taft
now seems to be the man whom
Mr Bryan will have to beat
This is perhaps unfortunate, for
Taft is the strongest man the
Republicans can name. With a
reactionary candidate, such as
Hughes, Fairbanks, Cortelyou,
Foraker or Cannon, Mr. Bryan
would have an easy race. The
Ammerican people, regardless
party, will not stand for the old
Hanna style of Republicanism
and that Is what these men stand
for* On the other hand, Taft
will ran on a platform consisting
of tbe Roosevelt policies,
most of which Mr Roosevelt
borrowed from Mr Biyan, and it
will make Mr Bryan's fight all
the harder. The question be*
fore tbe people willbe: Do yen
want the originator of these
policies, William J Bryan, or do
yon want the heir to the purloiner
of those policies, made somewhat
more conservative by a
Republican education, William

Oity district. Committees were
appointed aud finances were
provided to carry forward the
icbeme. Williamsburg county,

lollars, or a million more than ~

population of 86,000, thus leafing
about 11,000 in excess of
the minimum. Every requirement
lies wholly within Williamsburg
territory, so the divorce
directly concerns no oth.
er county.
The advocates of this movement
put forth as their . reason
for action, the faot , that Lake
