SPEAKER BYRD
OUT OF POLITICS
'Continued From First Page.)
made chairman Of the Committee for
Courts of Justice. This gave him an
opportunity to tnlce the fron', rank In
ti.i- body, which he rt'd without delay.
So It was tnat wlicja re-elected In
he was the choice of the IIouFe
for Sreaker. In 1910 and 1912 ho was
?<caln given this position, each time
without opposition. No one has
fi? k?n of measuring swords with h'm
i?t the next .-ess<on.
Activity of mind Is the quality
which perhaps tho most Impresses the
niemners of the Legislature with the
Bpeaktr Ills decisions are lnstuntan
cous. Even If reading or wilting at
tha moment, he attains an immediate
grasp on the situation. The Impres?
sion is left of a habit of direct and
concentrated thought.
While these pollt'cal ? associations
have been pleasant to Mr. Byrd. he has
ind them to be very unrotuuncratlve.
The }r>'"'' salary nju'ckly vanishes in the
living expenses of a leg'slatlve session,
..:n!ng8 of other times have
to be 'Irawr. upon. Having had four
rinses of th's sort of thing. Mr. Byrd
has decided that ho will eschew poli?
ties nnd hereafter regnrd the science
of government with a detached and In
different eye.
He has often heen mentioned as a
poss'Mo^future, candidate for Governor.
Per n.?xt.y?p.r** campaign he It pledged
to the support of Henry Carter Stuart.
The Byrd Liquor Law.
Dur'rig his first session as Speaker
?In 19"?'?Mr. Byrd was the author of
a bill which has come to he widely
kn 'ur. as the Byrd liquor law. It was
an extension ?>f the Mann liquor law.
which made its .author Governor of
Virginia. This measure went further
n '.he Mann bill by enforcing com
p llsory prohibition in communi?
ties of less than 500 inbabl
tantS, excepting as to distilleries and^
as to summer resorts and In dlspen-'
pury towns. Further. It prohibited the
sale of liquor between the hours of 1
tr .r.lfiht and S o'clock A. M. anywhere
In the State, nnd forbade its sale in
clubs in prohibition f.lhcrs.
Two years later there were amend?
ments to the Byrd law. increasing the
S'rite license tax. and wiping out the
provision for the sale or "near beer,"
r weird sort of beverage wh*ch was
put by the Senate in the original b'll
of which he was patron as a fort of
Berry's for Clothes'
Battle of Bunker Hill, .tune l'th, 1776.
"Times change. asTd we change with
them."
In those days everything in
the nature of luxury was im?
ported, nnd there are still some
people for whom "imported"
lias a mystic charm and they
buy lots of tilings, particularly
cloth, sold them under the
name "imported," really made
right in the United States, and
better for it. |
To-day a special display of
our lowest priced suits, $15;
and our silk-lined top-notch-;
ers at $35?American In every
detail.
Also our suits at $80 to $40,
made from genuine Imported,
fabrics. |
Come and see the new Berry
suits.
bn.se deceiver to the stomach of the
citizen oi the dry community.
Another problem to which Mr. Byrd
has directed his attention is the mat?
ter of n belter adjustment of tho
burdens of taxation. Under the pro?
visions of a hill which he helped to
support In 19i0, a Tax I "01111111551011
was created, of which he was made a
member. This commission worked for
two years, and at the beginning of
the past session Its conclusions were ;
made the basis of the keynote speech ,
by Mr. Byrd in accepting the Demo?
cratic nomination for re-election ns
Speaker. But it was found impossible
to pass any bill which would deal ef- I
fectlvoly with the subject.
The Byrd primary bills of 1910 nnd '
1912 have been widely discussed. The I
former died on the calendar. After two I
years of further study the Speaker
evolved a measure which he succeeded
in having paused hy the House last ,
session, but which was so emended In 1
the Senate as to cause Its patron to '
refuse to recognize it When he met it
In the corridor. However, the House
agreed to the amendments rnther than
take nothing, ?nd the law Is an untried ,
experiment on the statute hooHs.
The withdrawal from politics of '
Speaker Byrd will arouse much In?
terest throughout the State. Thcro '
will be a great deal of speculation as
to his successor.

with the square deal was in the field:
the party as well as the country bucked
up. It was now a light worth while.
It was a fight that meant something."
The MlBftlaslPpl Letter.
The Mississippi letter, as given out.
boro tho nanies of Charles Bunks, W.
P. Looker. Percy W. Howard. Daniel \V.
Gary and Wesley Crayton. This lettei
said In part:
"We, the undersigned delegates to the
Republican National Convention from
the Stato of Mississippi, having, after
full conference and discussion umoug
ourselves, and having only in view the,
welfare of the Republican purty and ol
tlie nation, and fujly appreciative ol
your known stand for a square deal
to all men, Irrespective of race or creed,
and believing that In the crisis which
now confronts the Republican party
you are the only roan that can ieau It
to victory In November, huvo this day
decided to tender your our support In
the national convention as tho nominee
of the Republican party for Pr?sident
of tho United Slates."
This Mississippi letter was quickly
followed by a report that the two del- 1
egales from Hawaii, Instructed for
Taft, had decided to Join hands with
the California delegation In support of
Colonel Roosevelt. This report later (
was denied by the, delegates, who de-!
dared they would abide by their lu
structlons.
When tho hotel corridors began to'
murmur gossip of a "Roosevelt land?
slide" tho Taft headquarters wore
spurred to activity. Director McKinley,
Senator I'enrose, William BarnuS, Jr., of
New York, and several other Tu:t lead?
ers talked over the mutter, and Director
McKinley Instituted a rapid liru inves?
tigation of individual cases ol deser?
tions which the Roosovelt statement:)
embraced. After several hours of dla
cus3ion. Director McKinley decided that
the Roosevelt claims were unfounded
except as to two delegates, Charles
Banks, of Mississippi, and ftmothy
Woodruff, of New York, and the situa?
tion unchanged. <
? On tho contrary," says Mr. McKinley,
"there arc over 100 delegates in this
convention who have been instructed
for Dr. Roosevelt who are unqualifiedly
opposed to his nomination and who will
only vote for him because of auch In?
structions. President Taft has votes
enough to nominate him on the first
ballot."
McKinley Attack* Colonel.
Director McKinley In a Statement
attacked the woi k of former President
Roosevelt and his managers.
"The ilrst work of Theodore Roose?
velt on arrival In this city was tho
assertion that 'Chicago it a poor place
t'er men to try to steal in.' NotWith-|
standing this fact. Mr. Roosevelt has
been busily engaged throughout Sun?
day, after attending church in the
mornlng. in attempting to steal dele?
gates away from President Taft, al?
though these delegates are solemnly
Instructed and pledged to suppott tho
President.
"At a conference latt night with
'Bill' Fllnn. of Pittsburgh, within
four hours after he had made his
denunciation of alleged theft. Col?
onel Roosevelt agreed to a planj
whereby he was to maki personal ap-i
penis to Taft-lnstruct ju delegates to |
break their Instructions and vote fur.
him.'
Announcement of Timothy Wood?
ruff's defection was ma le by K. A. Van
Valkc-nburg. of Philadelphia.
"Colonel Roosevelt lias authorized
n-.e to Mate "to the newspapers that
former Lieutenant-Governor Timothy
L. Woodruff, head of the Kings coun?
ty delegation of New York, has Juai
assured the Colonel thai he will vote
tor Roosovelt," said Van Valkenburg.
Mr. Woodruff stales that the gross
and Indefensible injustice showing in
.the unseating of the legally elected
delegate's lrom Texas und Washing?
ton has forced him to adopt this
course. Mr. Woodruff stated to Col-,
onel Roosevelt that 'ie is convinced
that members of the rational com?
mittee who voted for these outrages
did so knowing full well that Presl-j
dent Tuft cannot win. He therefore
feels absolved from any obligation lu
further support a condldato whoso
manugera have demonstrated that
they have not the good of the Re-i
publican party at heart."
Comes With Petitions.
Another statement announced that1
' Alfred Hayes. Jr., law professor at
Cornell University. who arrived to?
day, had been designated to deliver to
the delegates the Thirty-seventh Con
gtessional Distilct of New York Peti?
tion?, urging them to support Mr.
Roosevelt. The petition wies signed
b) Too Repiit'llcahs from the Progres
I slve Republican Club, of Tompklns
j county. N. Y.. and the Roosevelt]
j League Of Chemung county.
The Woodruff announcement led to!
j considerable looby talk that other
Brooklyn delegates would go with
I.Im. The Taft leaders rounded up the.
I delegation, and to-night issued a state-,
j mrnt In their behalf.
The delegates, according to the!
' statement, "renew their allegiance to1
I Mr. Taft s candidacy and publicly an-'
I nounce that the poslticn which Mr.
: Woodruff has taken In no way affects
, the position of the delegation from,
: that county."
The statement was t.igned by twelve
of the sixteen delegates front Kings
county. The four Brooklyn men ap?
pearing on the temporary roll who did
not sign the. statement were Tim..thy!
L Woodruff. William A. Prendcrgast,I
David Towlr and Jacob T. Holtzman.
