LINCOLN, Jan. 9.-(Special)- )-Speaker
Pool may be permitted to preside over the
deliberations of the house, but that IS
about all.
H. r. Henry, the man he defeated for
sneaker is in control of the committee or
ganization.
Mr.. Bryan chose Pool for speaker and
thus satisfied the Burlington railroad and
the brewers Then Mr.. Bryan took from
Mr. Pool al of his authority ami he linn
self named the standing committee chair
men through his lieutenants.
For the first time In the history of Ne
braska a complete list of all the standing
committees will be submitted to two met
for confirmation before they are officially
reported even to a caucus of the members
The two men to pass upon the committee es
are Mr.. Bryan and Governor Shallenber-
ger and the information came from MEM
Der of the committee which is selecting the
standing committees. He said:
1--WE will submit the committees 10 Mr.
Bryan and Governor Shall lbsrger, after
which they will so to a caucus Monday
afternoon"
The only hope the delegation from Omaha
has in getting those chairmanships asked
for will be through Governor Shallenberger.
The governor is under obligations to the
Omaha democracy and the Omaha delega-
ton has got in bad with the powers that
be. So Shalenberger is the only hope.
DIR. =. l.. Hall, banker of Lincoln and
vice chairman of the national committee
used his influence in keeping w. ]. Taylor
/ from being chairman of the committee on
| banking. Taylor is opposed to any bill
which will make farce of the guaranty
of bank deposits, such as that contemplated
| by the bankers of the Legislature, and for
| that reason it was desirable that he be
kept in the background in so far as being
chairman Of the banking committee is con,
cerned
Henry of Holt and several other promi.
nent candidates for speaker resented the
Interference of Bryan in the organization
when he forced Pool down their throat.
after they had the brewers and the Bur
lington railroad about whipped, so it wa,
up to Mr.. Bryan TO appease the wrath o,
this faction of the house. He did it b,
taking from Mr.. Pool the authority to nam,
committees.
Speaker Pool has intimated that he in
tends to have his way in the appointment
Of committees so when the list is befor
the caucus Mr.. Pool may make a fight
but he won't. He could still fight Il ou
on the floor OF the hose-but it Is an eve
break that he will not Mr.. Bryan Ina
taken all the fight out Of both factions q
the house and not a single bill will b
enacted into law or a single bill of an
importance killed without the responsible
ity being solely at the door Of the lat
presidential candidate.

mittee, but the names will not be officis
