Declaring the proposed tariff commission a plan to postpone the people's verdict on the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, and de nouncing the encroachment of the ex ecutive upon the legislative branch of the government, Champ Clark today in jne nouse sounded the democratic keynote of the coming congressional campaign.

"The creation of such a commis sion would be another startling illus tration of how far the legislative branch Has surrendered to the execu tive branch. The power of congress has steadily dwindled for a quarter of a century, while the executive amounts to imperial autocratic proportions." To the republicans he shouted, "You'll received the bloodiest licking you have had since 1892." CONSPIRATORS GO TO - PRISON FOR MURDER - v Vetnice, Italy, May 21.
