WASHINGTON. Jan. 2I-when the smoke
Of the livliest legislative battle OF the ses-
sion had cleared up in the house today.
Speaker Cannon and his organization were
IN complete control and the Joint state
hood program Of the administration had
been adopted. Forty-three republican in
sursents' went down to defeat having
voted vainly with the democrats to gain
control of the rule. the terms of which
are 10 govern the statehood hill in the
passage through the house. The vote or
dering the previous question on the rule
was lss ayes and los nays. This clearly
defeated the opposition, the fun strength
of which was polled, and little interest
was taken on the vote for the adoption Of
the rule which Immediately followed and
was carried by majority of thirty.
Previous TO the vote the debate on the
rule had proceeded under high tension.
The speeches were short. but the words
uttered were hot and full OF sting.
