NebraskAns satisfied.
Most generally the Nebraska members
are quite satisfied with the judgment
Of Speaker Cannon. There are a few little
heart -burnings in the delegation, but ''by
and large" the delegation has come off the
committee field with honor Two extremely
interesting fights were made for major COM
mittees-Hinshaw for appropriations and
Pollard for agriculture Pollard lost out
because the president had candidate in the
person Of William II. Cocks. who comes
from the presidents own district on Long
Island. Pollard put up game fight and
would probably have won, but Mr.. Cocks
| had letter of recommendation from the
| White House on file and Pollard lost. In
| some particulars Pollard is better situated

on appropriations by reason of the elevation
of Burkett to the senate The speaker
however could not see his way clear tC
Hinshaw's appointment, but gave the repre-
| sentative from the Fourth district the new
| committees, Merchant marine and fisheries
in addition to Indian affairs and patents
Mr.. Hinshaw is not enamored of merchan
marine and fisheries. He is not a ship sub
sidy advocate, II anything, he Is antagonis
tic to Grosvenors ship subsidy bill ant
! Grosvenor is chairman OF the committee.
Hinshaw Opposes Subsidy.
Mr.. Hinshaw said today that while he be
lieved firmly in the restoration of the mer
chant marine he believed 1t could b
brought about by discriminating duties, a
suggested in the last republican platform
Saying Subsidy" to Hinshaw gives tn

trict cold shivers. and IL necessary he vii
quit the committee II acceptance of TIL
place under Grosvenor of Ohio carries witt
it tacit agreement that he must supper
the committee bill should 1t be a subsid
measure outright.
Mr.. Kennedy received what he most de
sired in the way OF committee assignments
! rld of
ming chairman. The representative fror
the Second said he had asked for the irri
CATION committee on the theory that Ne
! braska was vitality interested in the ques
ton. in view of the large work now goin
on and in contemplation in the wester
portion OF the state. He was also induce
to ask for this committee assignment be
cause Of the questions of riparian rights
which were bound to play an importar
part in the solution Of irrigation project
between the states As he was intereste
/ in these questions he saw his best usefu
ness on q committee dealing with problem
in which the west was vitality interested
Norris of the Fifth district, In view c

out of the employment of labor is given
0 place on that committee. Mccarthy retain
, the same committees he had in the fifty
; eighth congress, as does Kinkaid.
Dawson LOEcs Fight.
One OF the pretty nights for committt
places was put up by new member, A
bert F. Dawson from the Second Iowa dii
trlct. As the former secretary of Senate
w b. Allison Dawson thought he ought
have a place on appropriations, notwiti
D standing that Walter /. Smith of the CouI
ell Bluffs district held place on that con
: nittee in the titty-eighth congress and ma
urally expected TO retain the same in Il
T | hfty-ninth congress. Uncle joe Canno
was importuned TO give Dawson a chan,
