IFS RepresentatiYo Hay knows every Dem-

OF Representatives, and Is popul lar. Judge
DeArrnond is D as able MS q any man on
either side of tho House, but no is al
most; entirely lacking In those qualities
which make a leader. and apparently
takes y little moro than cynical interest
lin legislation. In o ther words, he #is en-
tirely lacking d In that spirit $of COM
promise lin which all y leg isla ton Is j put
on statute books. Scholar, thinker md
brilliant debate ~ hough lie g ss5 he n Is
not suited to tho position OF leader and
lie Will hardly be called on n to ASSUME
TT; Is understood that Mr. Hay will be
appointed to the Commute on Approp \
Stions liz the next II Congress. This Will
#beSthe first time since the war that q
$YirginianS Will have served on this COM
emittec, taken all together, the nlost5tlin-
Eportant In The House. The lew billet
will compel Mr.. n Hay % K relinqusll his
position on tho Military Committee. where
