SOUTH HArERs Baked.

TBy jos: Ohll


[By Jos: Oil
Washington, Dec. 16.-Judge
Crumpacker, of Indiana, has aban
doned all hope Of getting any bill
or resolution bearing upon the
Southern representation question
through at this session Of Congress.
1t has been taken for granted that
the Indiana leader of the anti South
crusade would be permitted to put
through his resolution calling for
a House committee on investiga-
ton, but after a thorough canvass
of the House leadership Judge
Crumpacker announced that be
had given up hope of anything
being done. He acknowledges
that Speaker Cannon and other
leading Republicans are against
any agitation of the question Of
reduction of representation.
DIsGUsTED WITH THE NEGRO.
There is ia Republican circles
very little real sympathy for a
crusade on these lines. This is as
true Of the House as it is of the
Senate. One great reason for this
is that Northern Republicans have
become disguised with the negro
voter in their section who, they
say, has to be bought at each sue
ceeding election, no matter how
much may have been done for him,
and in consequence there is the
strongest kind of an undercurrent
Of sympathetic feeling for the
Southern States in their efforts to
solve the problem.
1t took the vote of Speaker
Cannon to break House tie to
keep the Hill currency bill as the
unfinished business. The reason
for that vote was not apparent on
the surface, but now it is known
that the willy old speaker wanted
that currency bill placed in posi-
tion of usefulness where it would
act as an estoppal upon all efforts
to get before the House this Crum-
packer resolution or any other
measure which does not meet the
full approval Of the House lead
ers. The Hill bill cannot be
passed, it is understood, but it can
be held up to prevent anything
else than appropriation bills and
such other matters as are given
especial attention by the. rules
committee, getting before the
House.
CANNON. FOR THE SOUTH.
Speaker Cannon is strongly
against any reduction Of represen-
tation bills and now that Judge
Crumpacker has failed with his
investigation resolution, there is
every good reason to believe moth
ing more will be heard of the sub
ject at this session.
Judge Crumpacker argues that
this President and Congress are

How Mule Kept Needham From
Being Native Son.


Washington, Dec. 10. Repre-
resentatiye Needham, Of Califor-
MIA, who yesterday reached the
goal of all Representatives, the
Ways and Means Committee, by
appointment by Speaker Cannon,
was born in an emigrant wagon in
Carson City, New, while his faith
er and mother were on their way
across the plains to California.
When Needham first ran for
Congress in California he was OPP
posed by the members of that
strong California organization the
Native Sons of the Golden West.
1t was stated that Needham was
not a native Californian, and thus
not entitled to the support of the
Native Sons.
