been made" said Mr. Norris, "and have
read some that have not yet been
made, and consider this the best one
in the list"
Mr.. Hubbard has been lined up with
the insurgent force in the house from
the beginning of his service, and has
not been on very good terms with the
present management as a result. For 9
long time he was the one insurgent
from Iowa, but after March 4 the sit
uation will change, and a good ma
jority of the Iowa delegation will be
lined up behind Hubbard, who will be-
come the dean of insurgency in Iowa.
More than this, his position will be
important because he will be the leader
of the revolt in the state which is ex-
pected to count more insurgents than
any other in the union.
Mr.. Hubbard said in part:
