It is doubtful tf there has been as violent a case of presidential itch in recent years as that which has attacked Speaker Clark. In consequence he manufactured a number of panaceas to remedy the evils of the presiden­ cy, aud he has recently blossomed out as the advocate of a one term of s i x years, because, he declares, “ the president spends most of his first term trying to get back again ” No doubt the United States Sen­ ate is having a good chuckle be­ hind closed doors— you know tthey have closed doors at the Senate, with star chamber sessions, execu­ Power of a Few Men tive sessions, caucuses and secret committee meetings.
