WASHINGTON. ID. G., Mar 2s.- special.
As ruE TnWs predicted. The House Com
mitiee on Elections voted % unseat Hon.
George ID. Wise and scat Waddill. The in
tended action of the committee has been no
secret for some time. 10 was evident from
the expressions of members of the Eiec-
tions Committee that Mr. Wise was DOOM
od. a rather unexpected feature was the
action of the Democrats in voting 10 declare
that there was no valid election, and 10 rc-
mand the matter to the voters Of the Third
District. As it was apparent that the Re-
publicans were determined 20 unseat Wise,
the Democrats thought 10 policy 20 procure
a new election. ifpossibie. rather than have
Waddin seated.
