The Vacant speakership.

There is already considerable speculation
as to the successor of the late Speaker Kerr,
but there is little in the office to invite COM
petition when the election is merely to fill
vacancy. The Speakership is indeed, a po-
sition of great power and influence, but that
is only because he has the appointment OF
the House committees. Stripped of this
power the Speaker would be political
cipher, like tho Vice President, who has no
other function than that of q mere presiding
officer in the Senate A Speaker elected to
fill o vacancy after tho House is or
ganized occupies similar position.
The committees selected by Mr.. Kern
at the beginning of the late ses-
sion will hold their places throughout
the existence of the Forty-fourth Congress,
and his successor will merely fill the few
accidental vacancies that may occur. This
explains why Mr.. Randall, who is the head of
a very important committee, will not be cam
didate for the vacant Speakership and why
little or no feeling will be exhibited in the
choice. The new Speaker will not be dis
penser of important and influential posi-
tons, and the choice Of mere presiding
officer is not worth struggle. If the chair
man of committee is elected Speaker the
member who stands next to him will, by
usage and courtesy, succeed him as chair
man of the committee and the vacancy in
the committee be filed by appointing new
member at its tail. Mr.. Sayler, who served
acceptably as Speaker pro TEN. during the
latter part of the expired session, has proba-
bly, the best chance tor election as Speaker
when Congress meets in December.
