Hustled returned 10 Albany late last highV iooi>
ing somewhat as if he had been under oo''U"
nress lie admitted with grim SMILE 'haV no
had been compellcd to submit 10 cohSlueidoio
pressure for good committee positions.
"Tberc always has been great desire, he salu'
"to obtain the cLief committee Places ana 'niS
ycar has been no exception MY great "''iio
has been, and still is. 10 put the aole ana eNpc-
rienced men of the Assembly III tHe rcsPo"Si"io
nIaces There are a large number of new men
in tho Assembly and therefore my task OF select
;rc GOOD material is more than ordinarily difficult
owing 10 my lack of acquaintance WIN ,heSc
now men. However, l think | Shall be able to
enisb my work before the Assembly meets to-
morrow night and TO submit my list TO that
body"
People sometimes wonder why Speaker is
unwilling TO have his committee list published
before it is submitted 10 the legislature one
of the chief reasons why he does not desire
10 make it public is because he is apt up to the last
moment to change the position on the committees
Of many of the leading Assemblymen. | remenl-
ber once changing the chairmen of two important
committees after l had got into the chair III the
Assembly Chamber, and not five minutes before
the committee list was handed down TO the clerk
of the Assembly to be read. There is one thlng
at which / am aiming i'll my labor upon the

of sentiment in the Republican party represented
