Was Against War Kitehin's greatest fight with his legislative conselence came when the House was ealled upon to declare war against the German government in 1917, Congress was wildly exelted Word passed back and forth among members that the majority leader would vote agalnst It. Later, afternoon of April §, members of the leader's family and some of his most intimate friends were in his office. For onee the leader had lost his smile. He on the was weary and fagged from loss of & sleep. He told the group that he could not bring conscience to the point of voting for war that his right of lead- er because of it would be challenged [hue that he didn't cara because his heart spoke against it, Then he went to the House chamber ~—with every seat filled and a vast ¢hrong in the gallery—and during a tense and dramatic moment, took his, stand agalnst war. 1oyal to Cause But once war was declared Kitchin threw his support, whole-heartily into the fight, and championed every move by the government for victory. There | were times, it was sald, when he was at odds with President Wilson at ‘White House conferences, but his po- Mtical enemies never doubted his pa- triotism after the weight of American arms had been thrown on the side of the Allies. In the early days of 1919, Kitehin, | when a republican house, elected the preceding fall was waiting to come| into power, went to the front as the party leader with the biggest war revenue bill ever framed by an Amer- | jcan congress. He put it through| long a member of the ways and means committee which framed the bill, Kitchin had every figure at his finger tips. Fordney, of Michigan, who succeeded him as Chairman of the committee, fought him at every step. Plea for Simplicity It was during the revenue bill de- hate while the House was considering a luxury on shirts, that Kitchin, standing before hundreds of well dresed men, declared he never paid more than $2 for a shirt in his life. His plea for simplicity in dress while the country was burdened with the big cost of war was taken up by the press, and two dollar shirts were urged. Not long after the big revenue bill fight Kitchin was stricken. For a loug time he lay in bed, trying to get well, but it was not an easy thing for a man so long in public life, to shake off the old habit. I'eeling better, he went back to the old grind, only to be stricken again. A new party had come into power. Champ Clark, stepping down from the speaker's chair hecame minority leader, with Kitchin as ranking mem- ber of the ways and means committee. When Champ Clark died, Kitchin was made minority leader but heing 1l then at his home In North Carolina, he asked that Finis J. Garrett of Ten- nessee, be designated as acting leader, in the effort to hold the dwindling ranks of democrats in line. Served Since 1901 Claude Kitchin, who was born March 24, 1860, first came to Congress fn 1901 serving continuously thereaf- ter.
