ton was raised by Representative
Hughes after Representative Moon of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the COM
mittee on the revision of laws. had
asked that the house proceed with the
consideration of the bill for codifying
the judiciary laws.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York led the Democratic side of the
house in opposing the consideration
of the bill. He declared that the house
under the rules could decide for itself
what business it shall consider. After
the discussion had proceeded for an
hour Speaker Cannon ruled that there
were no precedents exactly fitting the
situation, but that the house should
not be deprived of doing what it de-
sired. Therefore, he ruled that the
house settle for itself whether it would
proceed to consider the bill. BY a
vote of 146 to 81. the house decided

THE Government

Opposition in England Has
24O Against 302 For the
Government

London, Dec. 1.-THE election con-
tinues to drag wearily along. The
public has lost interest and the news
papers have given up publishing late
editions. Fleet street and other points
where the returns are shown are de-
serted.
The standing of the parties today
is as follows:
Government coalition: Liberals, 199; ;
Nationalists, 5S; Independent nation
alists, 8; Laborites, 80. Total, 3OS.
Opposition: Unionists, 240.
There were forty-two pollings today
but the results in only six constitu-
encies were announced. No change
was recorded in these.
The coalition therefore has one gain
to the good in the election so far.
Party feeling continues to run
strong in Cork where there are con-
tlicts daily between the opposing fac
tions. David Sheehy, member of the
house of commons, in a riot, was
struck by a stone and so badly in
jured that he remained unconscious
for some time. Not less than 100 per-
sons have been surgically treated in
the Cork intirmary since the elections
began. and eighty were admitted in

Burleson, the Investigators have

STILL STANDS BY
REPUBL|CAN|SM
Says Tennesseeans Are Trying
to Forget Politics Since
the Election

Houston, Tex, Dec. 14.-"They call
me squaw Republican and fusion
ist representing political cross be-
tween an alligator and something
else, but l am straight Republican,
nevertheless" laughed Ben w. Hoop
er, governor-elect OF Tennessee, now
in Houston on business, during an in
terview yesterday. "It is true that
thousands of one-time Democrats vot-
ed for me and SO represent the ma
jority in my state, but my politics can
not be questioned"
Governor-elect Hooper, the first
Republican executive the state will
have had in some thirty years, attri-
butes his entrance into the race to the
editor of the paper in his country
town Of Newport, where he was con-
Quoting his peaceful way ere he be-
came q candidate.
Tennessee at that time was torn BY
political dissention and Captain Hoop
er had not the remotest idea, he says,
of becoming an entrant. But the edi-
tor of his home paper offered the sug-
gestion Of Captain Hooper for gov
ernor" and the situation rapidly de-
yeloped. The editor, the reporter,
and even the office boy. became po-
litical campaigners with the result
that the well-laid plans of the states
shrewdest politicians were upset and
Hooper became the nominee.
But he then had the redoubtable
"Bob" Taylor to beat.
Few campaigns in Tennessee have
been more fierce. The race was one
of national interest and was watched
as closely in Texas as at home, where
torches fared and bonfires blazed and
oratory rent the atmosphere. The
unknown became famous. The Demo
cratic hero Of thousand battles went

WANTS LIGHT
Chairman Payne in Favor of Showing
Exhaustive Investigation.

Washington, Dec. 14.-"I want the

TRUTH. said Representative Payne,
chairman of the ways and means COM

it would never be possible to elimin-

original investigation.
Representative Good of Iowa ap-
