Representative from Kansas
The insurgent fight has just be-
gun. Whether we gained little or
nothing we have made it so the
people can see in a little better
and see what is going on. But
the fight is a fight for principle
and it will not be over until it Is
won.
We are fighting to make the
house of representatives represent
the people. This is not really our
fight, but the peoples fight. We
congressman here are mere pup
pets. The reason this fight is
going to win is the pressure of
public sentiment behind US. There
is not a man in the house of rep
resentatives who does not feel this
pressure and the pressure grows
stronger every day. The house of
is bound to repre-
sent the people. 1t will not do SO
members of the house.
What must be done is to re-
move the speaker from the COM
mittee eon rules, to take from him
the power to appoint and there
fore pack committees. And final
ly the speaker must be stripped
of his power Of inquisitorial rec
ignition. At present the speaker
has the right to know beforehand
for what purpose man desires to
be recognized. That gives him the
power to refuse recognition to Leg
islative propositions which he does
not like. There is no reason why
he should have this inquisitorial
power. Eventually he will be
bound to recognize any member
entitled to the floor.
The fight Is on and will be on
every day of the coming congress.
Don't imagine that this adoption
of the rules postpones the fight
for two years more. There are
several ways In which the speak
er's power and the power of this
system can be broken. It is only
necessary that the public under
|stand-as they are beginning to
understand-on what this power
rests and the uses to which 1t is
put. 1t is within the party's
power at any time to remove the
speaker from the rules committee,
I believe that it will be regarded
by the party as a political neces-
sity to take this course before the
next congressional campaign is on.
And there are other ways. Just
what these are THOSE who are try
ing to maintain the speakers pow
|er will discover at their leisure.
This is a winning fight. There is
not q man among the 81 insur-
gents who is not glad that he took
the course he did. There Is not
one that does not feel that he has
fought winning fight. There is
not one who will not keep the bat
tie going. And there Is daily evil
dence that our ranks will be re-
|cruited from other members who
have felt the pressure of the PEG.
pile In their districts.
