the most equitable solution.
The Chairman. I understand. then.
that you are OF the opinion that IL is

tirement the senator's who are named
in the bill We should adopt the rule
adopted In the House. as shown by this
| report?
Mr.. Caypless. Yes. sir.

TO the fact that this report shows the
vote In all the districts OF all OF the
senators. Do you know whether IL is

this information.

that was received by each?

known as the Home Rule Republican
party. That is probably the Republican
party Of the island.
Senator Mallory. 1t Is n hyphenated

Senator Mitchell. You have a Repub-

Democrats?
Mr.. Caypless. There was Demo-

belong to that party? Do you know
anything about 1t?

the Third district. He is Home Ruler. |
and was elected on the Home Rule |
ticket

member correctly. that Senator Kanu-
ma was the recognized Democratic
representative there.

correct.
The Chairman. I understood him to |
say that the National Democratic Com |
mittee had recognized him as such.

but there he Is not known as a Demo-
crat. II
The Chairman. Not in the senatorial
relation. you mean?
Mr.. Caypless. No. sir.

lieve there was any country as be-
nighted as that.

The Chairman. 1t was the same as
