After tin ap plause was over, speaker Clark made the following simple announcement: Reads in Firm Tone. •‘Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives. | pre sent to you the President of the I'nited States.” The President then In a firm tone began the reading of Ids message, and, except for the sound of his voice, absolute stillness prevailed in the chandler Secretary Bryan did not follow the example of his fellow Cabinet mem Iters and take a seat on the floor, but went instead to the diplomatic gal lery, where he Joined heartily in the handclapping With especial deliberation and emphasis the President read that por tion of his message relating to Mexi can affairs, wherein he predieted tin- early fall of the Huerta Government and reaffirmed the intention of the United Slates to play a “watchful, waiting” game This sentiment was applauded by the legislators the first applause heard during the actual reading of the message, and when he concluded that part of his message relating to Mexico, he again was greeted with hearty applause The President said The President’s Message.

The Sherman anti trust law should stand unaltered, but it should la made more explicit tiv new legislation. lie urged legislation to provide for the direct nomination of presidential candidates, party conventions to be retained soldv for the purpose of ratifying the choice of the people and framing party platforms.

It ig as important that they should be re lieved of embarrassment aiui set free to prosper as that private monopoly should he destroyed. The ways of action should be thrown wide open. For Presidential Primaries. I turn to a subject which 1 hope can be handled promptly and with out serious controversy of any kind. I mean the method of selecting nomi nees for the Presidency of the I'nited States. I feel confident that I do not misinterpret the wishes or the ex pectations of the country when I urge the prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary elec tions throughout the country at which the voters of the several parties may choose their nominees for the Presi dency without the intervention of nominating conventions. I venture the suggestion that this legislation should provide for the retention of party conventions, but only for the purpose of declaring and accepting the verdict of the primaries and for mulating the platforms of the par ties; and 1 suggest that these conven tions should consist not of delegates chosen for this single purpose, hut of the nominees for Congress, the nomi nees for vacant seuts in the Senate of the I'nited States, the Senators whose terms have not yet closed, the national committees, and the candi dates for the Presidency themselves in order that platforms ma> G framed by those responsible to tlu, people for carrying them into effect country in a more deplorable condi tion than ever. But he has not suc ceeded He has forfeited the respect is at peace with all the world, and j nn( j me moral support even of those many happy manifestations multiply about us of a growing cordiality and j sens*- of community of interest among who were at one time willing to foee him succeed. Little by little he has been completely isolated. By a little the nations, foreshadowing an age of | every (] av |,is power and prestige, are crumbling and the collapse is not far believe, be a wav. We shall not, I obliged to alter our policy of watch ful waiting. And then, when the end comes, we shall hope to see constitu tional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energy of such of her leaders as prefer the lib erty of their people to their own am- scttled peace and good will. More and more readily each decade do the nations manifest their willingness to bind themselves by solemn treaty to the processes of peace, the processes of frankness and fair concession. Ho far the I'nited States has stood at the front of such negotiations.

There is only one possible standard by which to determine controversies between th* I’nited States and other nations, and that is compounded of these two elements Our own honor and our obligations to the peace of the world. A test so compounded ought easily to be made to govern both the establishment of new treaty obligations and the interpretation of those already assumed Huerta Must Go. is successfully disposed of. And yet 1 feel that the request is not needed that the members of that great House need no urging in this service to the country. I present to yon, in addition, the urgent necessity that special provi sion be made also for facilitating the credits needed by the farmers of the -ede . , country.

You have but to look about you in any rural district to see the result, the handi cap and embarrassment which have been put upon those who produce our food. Confident of Result. Conscious of this backwardness and neglect on our part, the Congress re cently authorized the creation of a special commission to study the va rious systems of rural credit which have been put into operation in Europe, and this commission is al ready prepared to report. Its report ought to rhake it easier for us to de termine what methods will he best suited to our own farmers I hope and believe that the committees of the Henate and House will address themselves to this matter with the most fruitful results, and I believe that the studies and recently formed plans of the Department of Agricul ture may he made to serve them very greatly in their work of framing ap propriate and adequate legislation. It would be indiscreet and presump tuous in anyone to dogmatize upon so great and many-sided a question, but I feel confident that common counsel will produce the results we must all desire.

The at tempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has broken down, and a mere military despotism has been set up which has hardly more than the semblance of national authority. It originated In the usurpation of Vic toriano Huerta, who. after a brief attempt to play tne part of consti tutional President, has at last cast aside even the pretense of legal right and declared himself dictator. Policy of Waiting. As a consequence, a condition of af fairs now exists in Mexico which has made it doubtful whether even the most elementary and fundamental rights either of her own people or of the citizens of other countries res Merit within her territory can long be successfully safeguarded. and which threatens, if long continued. duatry of our farms to lag behind the other activities of the country in its development. I need not stop to of business which centers in the city and in the factory, and I think that all thoughtful observers will agr$*e that the immediate service we owe the business communities of the country is to prevent private monop oly more effectually than it has yet been prevented. 1 think it will be easily agreed that we should let the Sherman anti-trust law' stand, unal tered. as it is, with its debatable ground about it, hut that we should as much sis possible reduce the area of that debatable ground by further and more explicit legislation; and should also supplement that great act by legislation which will not only clarify it but also facilitate its ad ministration and make it fairer to all concerned. No doubt we shall all wish, and the country will expect, this to be the central subject of our de liberations during the present, ses sion: but it is a subject so many- sided.and so deserving of careful and discriminating discussion that I shall , . | ,• Ulny 1 1I111I1QU IIK UldV.
