the slightest indication of the turbu-
lent experiences of last week.

ter how the special rules that the
committee will frame for the consid-
Grafton of legislation are worded, the
house itself will have the last say.
Il believe that last weeks victory
is step towards fulhllment OF the
platform pledges of the Republican
party. AS to the so-called Taft pro-
gram. many of us claim the right TO
decide for ourselves the form the pro-
posed legislation shall take. Many
OF us who are in hearty accord with
the platform of the Republican party
claimed the right to say how those
pledges should be redeemed The
change will give us that right, whereas
formerly the speaker framed legisla-
ton according to his own ideas and
