oo SHERMAN MATES FORMER SPEAKER WASHINGTON, JDec. 5 The statement state-ment Issued several days ago by Representative Rep-resentative Mann of Illinois, Republican Republi-can leader in the house, depreciating attempts to embarass President Wilson's Wil-son's mission abroad, drew a vigorous attack in the senate today from Senator Sen-ator Sherman of Illinois, Republican. "He's much more powerful here In Washington than at home," Senator Sherman shouted. "I take no orders from this self-constituted self-constituted mouthpiece of the Republican Repub-lican party hailing from Illinois. His leadership in the west cpnsists, of Hyde Park and east Chicago." Senator Reed of Missouri interrupted interrupt-ed to ask if Senator Sherman was withdrawing a candidate for speaker to leave Champ Clark a clear field ' He's welcome to it as far as I am concerned," Senator Sherman replied. He warned Republicans of the house and of the country that they might "fritter away their majority," and speaking of Representative Mann, added : "This alleged leader has never led. I warn Republicans from ovents beginning begin-ning in 1912 and continuing down to 191S to consider what leader they're following."
