Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Demo
Gratis in the House of Representatives
have won their fight for the commit
tee on committees. This is settled
by the announcement by Champ Clark
and his supporters that they will &C
quiesce in the proposition.
The struggle over the new form Of
House organization has not been in
any sense a bitter one but those who
have won have been very much in
earnest AS soon as it was known
that the next House would be Demo
cratic they got TO work, 1t was
found that large majority of the
Democrats in the present House ia
vored the new plan. and a majority
also of the new members were for
il. The state delegations Of New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina. Georgia, Alabama, Mississ-
ippi, Texas and Illinois were very
strong for it and these delegations
alone had votes enough to determine
the result.
