ELECTION CONTESTS.
Interest among virginians I'm the re-
assembling OF Congress centres chiefly
IN the contested election cases
from that State. There are three
OF these-Wise VS.. Young. from the Sc
cond District; Thorn VS.. Epes, from ,he
Fourth District. and Brown Va. Swanson,
from the Fifth District 1t 81 believed
that the contestees will have TO rely Upon
the Rouse for fairness and justice in
their respective cases. Falr-minded Re-
publicans go so far as 10 admit this. and
others boldly allege that Elections Com
mittce No. has been constructed in the
interest OF the contcstces. That the
Speaker OF the House OF Representatives
has, I'm referring the Virginia contested
election cases 10 a committee presided
over by General James A. Walker. OF
80 SP'i''f w h'tAAtQ "a SiOrS DdItiSAi
fairnes. IS acknowledged by all VINO have
any conception OF fairness. The whole
course OF the Speaker in these cases has
shown determined purpose on his part
TO give the contestants every possible
partisan advantage.
In the appointment Of this committee
he placed at its head General Walker,
one OF the bitterest Republican partisans
in Virginia. Representative Jones, OF Vir-
oil 4.
! This year. for no reason, he is taken off.
and the Democrats appointed on the COM
mittee are gentlemen serving their first
term in Congress. and wholly unfamiliar
with the Virginia election law. The
| Speaker also took of this committee Rep
resentatives Mccall. of Massachusetts,.
and Jenkins, Of Wisconsin. who in the
last Congress were conservative and
united in reports seating Representatives
Swanson and Tucker. Both of these gen.
uemen are among the ablest lawyers of
the House.
1t is currently reported here that Rep
resentative Codding Republcan). of
| Pennsylvania. has notified the Speaker
| that he will not longer serve on this COM
mttee. and IL is understood that he OBJ
| 1ectS 10 doing so because of the radical
and unheard-of methods the majority Of
the committee proposes to adopt and pur-
sue. 1t Is certainly a fact that he was
not present at the last meeting of the
committee. and has been heard to say
that he will not attend another.
