Voice for Minority.

There is, however. at least one respect
in which the rules ought to be modified.
That is to allow the minority to select
its own members of the committees This
would be done by amending the rules so
as to provide that the Speaker shall APP
point the minority members Of the COM
mittees upon the recommendation of the
minority leader. This ought 10 be done.
Then we would rid ourselves Of the prac-
tice that has grown up of picking out
men known TO be in accord with the ma
jority for minority places and thus weak
ening the minority. Under this arrange
ment there would be no inducement 10
make friends with the Speaker on the
part OF the minority members in order
TO get on some coveted committee. II
would tend TO clean politics
TT has been suggested that the Demo-
cratic party is committed TO a committee
on committees. The very reverse is true
How can a party be committed? BY
platform: by caucus action; by iegisla-
ton. There is nothing in the platform.
the caucus never Endorsed the scheme, and
the legislation enacted shows that the
party did not agree to this method
True the insurgents wanted IL; but the
Democrats did not indorse IT, They
agreed that the Speaker should not be
a member of the Committee on Rules,
and that II should consist OF ten MEM
bers. and the only way to get it was to
elect the members. That's all the Record
shows. In my judgment this was wise,
and I suppose IL will be done again, but
will not support a committee on COM
r1itees unless by force of a caucus"
