.L|QU0RC0MM|TTEE
Speaker Baker Will Extend Recosni
tion To His Defeated Rival
Flowers Canned.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. Tn max
Ing up has committees, which he ex-
poets 10 announce Tuesday. Speaker
Baker. or the house OF representatives,
will recognize the merit OF ID. G. f.
Warner, OF Frankfort, whom he de-
feated for the speakership. Rep. War
ner, who was one of the authors OF
the Warner-Cramton liquor law, VIII
he made a member OF the committee
on liquor traffic, which will be expect
ed TO work toward the reforms adyo-
Gated by Gov. Osborn. He will be
chairman OF the judiciary committee
and committee OH ways and means
Wayne county will be we'll taken
care of. Besides the appointment oil
George Lord as chairman OF the com
mittee on general taxation, Rep. Rob
ert Y. Ogg will be chairman OF the
city corporations committee, succeed
ing stony" Monroe. Rep. A. Ward
Copley will be chairman OF the com
mittee on private corporations, and
James ID. Jerome chairman OF the
committee on revision and amend
ments to the constitution. Rep. w. j.
Bierd. Of Auburn, the speakers clos
est friend, will be chairman of the
committee on state affairs, and Rep.
Henry f. Straight, OF Coldwater. who
nominated the speaker, will be chair
man of the committee on education.
Although the speaker will honor his
opponent. he will not do as well by
Rep. Flowers, OF Detroit who ran
Warmers speakership campaign. Ordi-
narily he would have been chairman
of the committee on judiciary, as he
was last session. The plum will go
to Rep. Dusenbury, of Isabella. Flow
ers was chairman of judiciary two
years ago, and the present speaker,
who is a farmer and not a lawyer,
took occasion to raise several con
stitutional points with him. AS a re-
suit. the two never have been friends
since. Bakers friends charge that this
was the beginning of Flowers ami
mostly toward Baker, and ii certainly
has much to do with Flowers failure
to land this time.
The usual 10 days recess for junket.
ing will be cut out this year. Instead,
the committees will go quietly and
unannounced TO the various institu-
tons which require inspection. This
system will Inconvenience the house
slightly because OF members being
absent while the house is in session,
but 1t is expected to give better re-
suits than formerly when the institu-
tons were put in apple-pie order for
the visits, and banquet served the
junketers at every stop. The old sys-
tenn sometimes caused official strabis-
mus as to defects in management
Gov. Osborn, ii is announced, Will
have an executive cabinet, similar to
that of the national president II will
consist of tho other state executive
officers and the heads Of appointive
departments.
