WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-(Special) Ut Is
merely guess work to even attempt to
outline just what committee assignments
members of the Minnesota delegation will
secure at the hands of Gen. Henderson
at the coming session of congress. The
men from Minnesota seem to be earnest
IN desire to get committee places which
VIII give them an opportunity to serve
thelr constituents satisfactorily Some of
them are selfish, however, and Repre-
sentative Tawney Is one of these Mr.
IaWney is man who goes around with
emp on his shoulder and a devil-may-
care air, believing that his prominence
VIII secure him whatever he may desire
from the next speaker. Perhaps Mr. Taw-
hey VIII get what he is anxious to secure
mere Is a possibility, however. that he
may be Inundated in certain directions
| When Gen. Henderson announces tbe
makeup of the house committees. The
minnesota
'ioh are not pushing their claims IN any
direction, so far as can be ascertain
co. although the seven members from the
state seem to think that when the COM
mlItees are announced they will be fairly
well taken care of and If they are dis
appointed will not in any way ATTEMPT
10 oppose the speaker on various issues
OF importance which he will have to deal
with this winter
MIR. MORRIS ANXIOUS.
Representative Morris, of the Sixth
Minnesota district, is anxious, as has
been previously stated, to secure his old
place on the rivers and harbors commit
tee, new place on the judiciary commit
tee and a minor craftsmanship. The Sixth
district congressman is pretty certain to
be disappointed and no man better than
he realizes the situation as it exists at
the present time 1t will not be possible
Tor the speaker to satisfy all the aspirants
who seek good positions for chairman
ships or assignments on committees. It
is practically certain that Representative
Stevens will be given committee assign
ments which will assist him in carrying
through legislation greatly beneficial to
his constituents, Representative Fetch
er, of Minneapolis, will probably not get
craftsmanship but he will get some good
assignments. Just what will become of
Eddy is question that the speaker will
be compelled to decide later on. The
Seventh district congressman is not a IA
vorite of the new speaker, and the places
he may desire will probably not be given
him. Representative McCleary is certain
to be far from the firing line so far
as chairmanships are concerned. At one
time it was believed to be certain that he
would secure the craftsmanship of the
committee on banking and currency. 1t
is now known, however, that the place is
to go to Representative Brosius of Penn
sylvania, and the Second district Mime
sofa congressman, Notwithstanding the
fact that he is well qualified to assume
the leadership of this important commit
tee, will be compelled to become merely
q member Of it.. So far as the Republican
members are concerned, however, he will
be in a position TO give them advice re-.
garding future currency legislation and
may add to his record as a very valua-
BILE financial man in a minor capacity.
MR.. HEATWOLE MODEST.
Representative Heatwole is not antici-
pating very much from the coming speak
er, though the Mortified editor may re-
tain his present high position as chair
man of the house committee on Ventila-
tiCn and acoustics. This will at least re-.
lieve him of paying office rent, and for
this reason will meet his favor in every
way. Whether or not he will go back to
the house committee on foreign relations
is not yet settled. He expects to assume
his old place, but may be disappointed
when the next speaker announces fully
the places he wifi give the 357 members
of the house over which he will preside.
he mill Orph elhi NO
all the good places the members from
these states have hoped would come TO
them. The East, through the efforts of
professional politicians like Quay and
Platt will undoubtedly capture the great
est number of prizes because of their in
huence with the Mckinley administra-
| ton. There will be a vacancy on the
ways and means committee which viii
go to some other section than Mime
SCta. MI TaWney was a member Of this
committee during the last two sessions,
and former Representative Johnson, of
North Dakota, occupied a similar place
as the congressman from that state. Mr.
Henderson, 1t is now assumed by his
friends, will not be able to give these
| assignments to representatives from eth
er of these two states, though there is q
possibility that the Northwest will be
represented on this great committee, but
whether the assignment will go to North
! Dakota, Minnesota Iowa Is something
| that Gen. Henderson has not yet fully
| decided upon In any event, the North
west section is not going to receive as
| many fav0rs under Gen. Henderson as it
| did when Thomas Bracket. Reed welded
| the gave In the lower house.
Several prominent members of the Ma
| tional League of Republican Clubs are
now in Washington either in an officiaf
| CT business capacity. Sentiment, as a
rule, appears to favor st. Paul as the
meeting place of the league next summer.
| A delegation will soon be here to further
the interests of the state capital.
