HELPS UUT CURTIS.
Short Term Will Give Him Precedence
Over New Senator'S

Washington, Jan. 21.-The advan-
tage of Charles Curtis taking the short
term in the Senate-the unexpfred
portion of the Burton TERMS that it
Will give him seniority over all other
incoming senators who will not be
sworn in until March 4.
In the senate preferment goes very
largely-one might say exclusively
by seniority. Here is a case in point :
Chester I. Long was elected to the
senate in January, 1903. He did not.
however take his seat as successor to
colonel Harris, until March 4, 1903.
j. Frank Alice of Delaware was elect
ed senator on March 2, 1903, and took
his seat on March g. thus antedatfnp
Senator Long one day.
This was because a vacancy existed
at the time in Delaware. and Alice be-
came senator imm ediately upon his
election. Senator Long did not go in
until the next day. when Colonel
Harris term expired.
me result of this was seen when
committee assignments were made.
Both Senator Alice and Senator Long
were placed on the committee on the
District of Columbia. This is a very
important committee. Senator ingalls,
at one time was chairman of it. Sena-
TOR Alice is not man of conspfcuous
apl1ty- But as he preceded Senator
Long one day in the senate. he ranks
MIN on the committee. Senator Alice
mas now failed of reelection. how
ever, and so Senator Long will go up
q place.
There will be nine and probably ten
new Republican senators, Of whom five
VIII succeed Republicans. The fact that
some of these Republicans viii succeed
temperate senators will make it harder
work TO parcel out committee -assien-
ments TO Republicans in the next con
gfess than ever. But by going into the
senate on January p. or whatever day he
Will 90 so, Senator Curtis will take pre-
cedence, Tor committee purposes, over all
these other Republicans.
"A new committee was created for SEN

Senator Curtis will probably not have a
