REPUBLICANS CALL MEETING
.' Voice of Gold and Human Nightingale You hardly know which to marvel at the more: the beautiful Voice that deepens to a thrilling, gloriously tender tone in the phrase "Once Again!”—the call to the nightingale to sing—or at the response of the "nightingale” itself. \ Never such bird-notes from human source as come from the lips of little Miss Fagan! From low, sweet trilling to joyous burst of song, they have all the woodland beauty of the ecstatic bird-call that poets have sung about in every 88 A Record You Will Love t Whatever your taste in music may be, no matter how simple or highly critical, this record is almost sure to be your favorite. Whether for the sake of the exquisite voice or the phenomenally gifted little whistler—whether "The Nightingale Song” appeals to you most or "Listen To The Mocking Bird,” on the other side—you are sure to find this record a rare treat and delight. It is a record to play to your friends, to hear when you are alone in the twilight, to bring joy to the children—to be the one record of which you’ll never tire! Hear it today at your Columbia store—^"Hearing is believing!”
! WASHINGTON, March 30. - Champ Clark, of Missouri, was nominated for re-election today as Speaker of the house at a caucus of Democrats. He w f as chosen by acclamation. The congress convenes in special session Monday. Mr. Clark is confident of re-election. There was no opposition to him today and it took fifteen minutes to make the nomination. Representative Shackleford, a colleague, made the nominating speech and the tormality of voting was dispensed with. Mr. Clark has been in the congress more than twenty years. House officers wefre renominated and i Democratic members of the ways and j means committee were renamed. This cbmmlttee acts as the committee on committees and will make all committee selections for nomination to the new house. i There were 181 members-elect in the caucus, which was undisturbed by any serious fights. Thirty-three Democrats, some of them classed as insurgents, failed to show up. Plans for prompt organization of thehouse on Monday, so that there may be no unnecessary delay in hearing President Wilson's address, were made at the caucus. The ways and means committee was instructed tp report Democratic committee selections dif rectiy to the house. This provision will i eliminate the usual delay of submitting the selections to another caucus and was made in the interest of saving time. . Representative Gallivan, of Massachusetts, who has announced his opposition to the organization plan, was ryot ■ at the Capitol today, but he said he would be here “when needed.” Several of the thirty-three absentees consulted ; with Gallivan on their arrival here and i have expressed- sympathy • with his ; stand. i a meeting of the Republican commitF tee of twenty-seven was called for toI day also to draft recommendations for 1 organization to be presented to the Republican caucus tomorrow. The progressive, bipartisan, temporary organization and anti-Mann factions had con-' dieting proposals, .but indications were that the final decision would be to offer a full party ticket.
