rs I told YOU it would be when the
nomination was sent to the senate,
said the Prominent Politician to The
Stroller on Saturday. "It is possible,
Of course that this servant of the hie-
rarch may be confirmed" continued
the Prominent Politician, land it may
be reported favorably by the judiciary
committee when 1t meets ON Monday;
but the fact that 4 suggestion was
made this morning to poll the committee
on the matter, an unusual suggestion,
by the way, and contrary to all prece-
dent, would Indicate that the apostolic
ambassador from the hierarchy to the
senate of the United States was not
sure Of his ground.
''There are several ways by which
the appointment could be tied no. Any
member of the committee could offer
objection TO the consideration of the
appointment. which would carry it over
until the next meeting, IN order to give
the objector opportunity to prepare his
statement setting forth the reasons for
objecting to n favorable report. An
other would be that Senator Sutherland
did not want the nomination reported,

Makeup Of Committee.
f'The judiciary committee is com
posed Of fifteen members. Senator
Clark of Wyoming is the chairman. The
other members are:
Bacon Nelson,
Borah. Overman,
Brandegee, Piles.
Clarke (Ark). Paynter.
Culberson, Rayner,
Depew, Sutherland.
Dillingham;. Warner.

nation In the event an obJector insist

Sutherland is against reporting the
nomination. He may have agreed with
the apostolic senator and Elder Howell

only to turn Fussy Jimmy's face to the
wall after the nomination got to the
judiciary committee. This would give
Smoot and Howell an opportunity to
wash their hands and LET Fussy. alias
Navajo Jimmy, down easy by stringIng
him with the information that they were
powerless after the president sent in
The nomination. This would give op-
portunity TO work Tom Hull into the
job.
However, if Senator Sutherland
does not object. the nomination of Fussy
Jimmy will be favorably reported, as
senatorial courtesy cuts ice in very
reported favorablv it will be due to
Senator Sutherland.
Fussy Jinny's Pedigree.

more than likely that the old soldiers

have no Ill will toward the men who
wore the grey from 1861 to 1865, for
the latter were in the Open fought face

any warning. The man whom Fussy

veterans resent the appointment.
