WANTED IN THE HOUSE
"A PARLIAMENTARY
Probability That the Present Clerk at the Speaker
able" Will Occupy Seat in the Next Session
Causing Some Discussion

Where will the next Speaker Of the
House find a parliamentarian? That is
a question which is giving some OF the
members food for thought

the title OF clerk at the Speaker
table, but who, In reality, is the man
who unravels all of the parliamentary
tangles In the House, viii In all proba-
bility occupy a seat on the floor of the
House at the Sixty-second Congress as
successor to Representative Amos L.
Allen, OF the First Maine district Mr..
Allen has announced that at the close
OF the present Congress ne win retire
from public life. Mr.. Kinds has tired Of
his present position, and Is making an
active canvass to get tine Republican
nomination in his district He is op-
posed by Senator Hale. who wants to
send his son 10 Congress. but reports
from the Pine Tree State indicate that
Kinds has the pole, and cannot lose out
In the race. despite the powerful infiu-
ence Of Hale in the State machine.
Representative Allen and Mr.. Kinds
first came to Washington with the late
Speaker Reed, Mr.. Allen as private sec
rotary and Mr.. Kinds as clerk. Mr..
Kinds got his training directly from the
man who was first dubbed the Gear of
the House" and who was responsible for
the rules which have been causing
Speaker Cannon so much trouble. Mr..
Kinds was on the spot when the Reed
rules were put into effect and he knows
them better than any other man In the
House.
Speaker Cannon relies upon his judg-
nent and interpretations at all times
in fact an important ruling is never
made in the House unless Kinds is
present II the House gets into tanRls
and Kinds happens to be absent mes
