He Expects To Be Chairman of
Military Affairs Committee.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. 9.-The army will not
suffer in its appropriations by change III
the political complexion of the House, IT
Representative SuzeT, who expects TO be the
chairman of the Military Affairs Commit
tee. is able to dictate the policy to be pur-
sued Mr.. Sulzer has unique record in
Congress There have been few bills which
draw money from the Treasury that he
has not supported. He is one of the few
Democrats who believe that a great COM
mercial country should be managed as a
great commercial business. and il is GER
tain that he will stand for continuance
of the present scheme of appropriations,
Il believe in treating the army fairly,
said Mr. Sulzer to-day. "and I do not be-
lieve that there can be any material prun-
ing Of the army appropriation bill without
serious detrirnent to the service. 1t has
been said that the policy of the Democrats
will be to effect economy by deprivinS the
army and navy of their reasonable ap-
propria tions. This is mistake While
am by no means certain that l will be
selected as chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs, 1 am sure that whoever
secures the place will see that the army
does not suffer through any lack of gener-
osity Oh the part of the committee
