Then a dilemma occurred which was not on the program The Senate, which whs supposed to have reached the House by 1 o’clock, at that time had not arrived, and tin President was compelled to wait in the Speak er s office, while the Senators slowly walked across from tin Senate side of Hie Capitol. The Senators reached the House chamber at 1 <» • o'clock, and Immediately took their seals Speaker Clark named Representa tives Cnderwood, Fitzgerald and Mann a committee on the paft of t he House to escort the President into the chamber, and Vice President Marshall named Senators Kern, Bacon and Galiinger a committee on the part of the Senate to perform a similar service President Wilson reached the House chamber at 107. turning first to Speaker Clark and Vic* President Marshall and bowing cordially to them He glanced in a self satisfied way at the Senators and Representa tives and began his message in a cleat- fashion The applause which greeted him when he entered the chamber last ed for nearly a minute, Alier tin ap plause was over, Speaker < lark made the following simple announcement: Reads in Firm Tone “Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives.

The President said The President’s Message. Gentlemen of tin- Congress In pursuance of my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress Infor mation of the state of the Cnion."

The Sherman anti trust law should stand unaltered, hut it should be made more explicit by new legislation. He urged legislation to provide for the direct nomination of Presidential candidates, party conventions to be retained sole I v for the purpose of ratifying the choice of the people and framing party platforms. He would have the conventions com posed of the candidates for office, so they might he hold directly responsible for failure to carry into effect the platform pledges. I’rged Philippine independence.

It puts them upon an equal footing with other business men and masters of enterprise, as it should; and upon its passage thev will find themselves quit of many of the difficulties which now hamper them in the field of credit. The farmers, of course, ask and should he given no special privilege, such as extending to them the credit of the* Government itself.
