Reed decides promptly against him and the house stands by the sneak CTS decisions, or at least the republican majority does, which amounts to the same thing. Of course the democrats who expected to keep the house in a tan gle all the tlrle by tillibustering, are kick ing hard and yelling "usurpation". but NIT. Reed only smiles at them and poes ahead m his own way. The republicans are congratulating themselves that no mistake was made in electing MT. Reed to be speaker.
