Most OF the above bills passed tho
Senate last Congress.
While In the House the assignment OF
members 20 the various committees Is
made by the Speaker, and this involves
the exercise OF ar arbitrary power which
often gives rise To great dissatisfaction,
the procedure In the Senate Is different.
The Republican Senators select COM
mittee and this committee assigns the
Republican Senators to the majority
places on the various committees. A
given number of places are accorded TO
the minority and the Democratic
Senators are assigned 10 these
places by committee OF their number.
For the organization OF the present
Senate the Democratic committee was
appointed to-day, and will proceed at
once to assign the Democratic Senators
to the various standing and select COM
mittees Of the Senate. n
Senator Kenna has been selected as a
member OF this committee, aud Will be
one OF the Senators upon whom the
honor Is conferred OF arranging the or
ganiztion OF the Senate for the Fifty
second Congress.
