The committee on rules Is a. old as the
house itself. Al the beginning the com
mittee merely reported at the opening Of
cash session a system OF rules governing
a. conduct OF The house for the session.
II VAS first used as an e1pediting agency
in Is40 when The Wings we're in control
o. the house.
At that time, through a recommendation
made By Henry Clay. a special rule Was
reported by the committee designed 10
limit debate and prevent amendment 10 a
measure In Whish the Wings were inter
ssted. After that lncide=5 tSe c0mmIrIoe
became moribund until 1881. when II was
galvanized into the most important wheel
Of The house machine, and It has since
acted as the steering committee OF the
party IN control
The speaker was made Chairman OF the
COMMITTEES On rules in ISIS He continued
IN that place until Insurgsnt Norris Of Ne
brasks few weeks ago led his followers
in an assault upon the organization
Speakers have come and gone but John

Visitors are not taking chances on &c
curing accommodations after they reach
Omaha but are sending Representatives

Mr.. Clark seems TO be the best bet for
next speaker Of the house Of representa- -
tives IN the event Of the democrats sweep
ing the country. He has had plenty OF
political experience. He was elected 10 the
Fifty-third congress and has been sent s.

cratic convention in 1904 and also was
chairman OF the committee that notified
