Some of the Senate leaders did not leave
the floor Of the House throughout the
session. They were deeply interested in
the result, which they realized would have
a big influence on the legislation to be
enacted at this session.
Remained Until End.
Not until the vote Of vlndicatiOn for
the Speaker, which came practically at
tors willing TO admit that the situation
was one Of encouragement.
1t was freely admitted that the de-
thronement OF the Speaker would have
resulted in a legislative deadlock be-
tween the Senate and the House; but as
results have finally shaped themselves
the Senate leaders do not anticipate any
serious trouble I'm putting through the
administration legislative programme.
A prominent Senator said, in summing
up the situation last night, that the
chaotic conditions IN the House had been
clarified during the day, with the result
that the prospect for putting through
the administrators programme is even
better than it was prior to the inaugu-
ration Of the fight
1t was pointed out by this Senator that
the power possessed by the Rules Com
mittee is mostly a matter of sentiment.

made that the House would go on with

much the same as before
