URGES NEW MEMBERS
TO INSIST ON RIGHTS
Representative-EIect Thayer
of Massachusetts Wants
Chairmanships Divided.

WORCESTER. Mass, January 12-
Representative-electJ John Alden Thayer
of Worcester has addressed letter to
the eighty-two other democratic repre-
sentatives-elect of the Sixty-second Con-
gress who are not members of the
Sixty-f1rst Congress, calling upon them
to Insist upon their rights In the mat
ter Of committee appointments, and
suggesting that he be authorized to call
meeting in Washington previous to
the democratic caucus for the purpose
Of deciding upon a course Of action. In
his letter, which is of considerable
length, Representative-elect Thayer
says in part:
1T seems to me, and it must to you,
upon consideration Of the subject, that
before entering the democratic caucus
OF January 10 we should meet together
and formulate plans as to what we, as
almost majority Of the democratic
members, desire in ways and methods
Of appointing committees.
Calls Seniority Rule Unjust.
Heretofore seniority has had a pre-
dominant weight in securing such posi-
tions, but under the changed conditions
of the past few years it would seem
that it would be altogether unjust to
US that such should longer be the case.
I'VE are entitled to at least our pro-
portiOnate share of the committee
places and ehairmanships of the i'm
portant committees. While we would
not underrate the ability Of those who
have served previously in Congress, it
is altogether patent on reading the list
of the members of the Sixty-second
Congress that the men who will take
their seats for the first time in the
halls of national legislature are in
many cases the equal of those who
have rendered service. before
