Mr.. Pujo, a Democrat, asked Mr. FTtz-
gerald, IN a sarcastic voice. II his resolu-
ton was not fixed up between him and
the regular Republicans. adding. they
seem TO be about the only ones who are
in favor OF It."
The Democrats and the insurgents were
quick to recognize that the Fitzgerald res
olutiOn left in the hands OF the Speaker
the right 20 appoint committees. But Ii
took considerable explanation for N1r
Fitzgerald before all the members got the
hang OF his proposal. Some OF the Dem
Ocrats had voted against Champ Clark s
resolution 20 elect a committee on rules
composed OF fifteen because they regarded
this as merely a means Of providing e
