speaker, Lieutenant Governor
Hopkins, the power to appoint
committees, and the members at
tended to that matter themselves.
The minority attempted to do the
same thing in the house of repre-
sentatives, and to a man voted to
bring about that end.
They lost their fight and it has
taken the Speaker two weeks to
name his committees while the
senate did the same work for that
branch of the legislature in less
than a week. Then again it took
the minority in the house almost
"a week to convince the majority
that they are not the entire show
and that the Democrats must be
reckoned with.
The minority members have
won almost every fight into which
they have been drawn by the
majority and now stand in a COM
pact body of legislators willing to
stand as a single man for the. prin-
ciples involved in their platform
and their pledges to their constit-
uents. As the minority leader, W.
l.. Brown of Kingman has been
fortunate in landing a number of
the strong men of the minority on
good committees and this adds to
the tone of Democracy this year.
While Brown was elected as the
minority leader over FEEDER by a
small majority, he divides the
leadership with a dozen or more
strong men. Among these are
FEEDER, Boyd, Orr, Kelly, the two
former old members who are es-
pecially strong in debate, and
many Others who have not as vet
had an opportunity to show their
strength.
A question came up Tuesday
which indicates the strength of the
minority and also developed a
point, formerly common practice
with the majority, but which will
be a thing of the past as far as
this session of the legislature is
concerned. Two contests have
been filed and an attempt was
made by the majority to force
each contestant to file a bond for

TOPEKA LETTER

Topeka, Kan. The week Just
closing has demonstrated to a Ger.
tainty that the minority members
ofthe house of representatives are
. true to the principles of Demoera-
cy and that they have the ability
TO take care of themselves on all
propositions. They have already
shown to the administration
crowd that they cannot be CO.
creed, bullied OR Outwitted and
that they are. doing their own
thinking and are at all times mas
ter of their own situation.
Democracy has strength. in
the house Of representatives this
winter which makes it a force
worth reckoning with and one
which has already called forth the
respect of the majority. The in
dlviduality of the membership is
commented upon by every OBJ
serving visitor to the state house.
In the past the leaders have been
strong men but this year there is
hardly a member on the minority
side who has not the ability of a
leader of men.
A number of the very best bills
so far introduced have come from
the minority membership and all
of them have been received with
the respect to which they are en-
titled. In the past anything which
came from the Democratic side
OF the house was Immediately
branded as undesirable" no mat
ter how valuable the. features
which it contained. It's different
now. There is a small following
among the majority who feel as the
Democrats have felt in the past:
That ameritoriCuS measure should
be supported no matter who its
author might be. With their sup
port, which is now assured, the
Democrats present a front which
Is causing Governor Stubs and
his followers no end Of worry.
Legislation in the house is drag
ging somewhat as compared with
the senate and there are two reas-
ons responsible for this condition.
The senate took away from the
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1911-01-20
the costs in the case.

This worked a hardship upon
one of the contestants, who is a
poor man and the question of the
righteousness of this rule was
questioned by the minority. The
debate was one of the fiercest of
the session and was participated
in by FEEDER, Orr, Brown and Boyd
as we'll as a number of Others on
the minority and Davis, a men,
Der of the republican side.
They favored square deal for
the poor man who could not give
a bond for costs. The fight waged
fast and furious and when the
vote was finally taken the speaker
pro tenn announced that the demo-
cratic amendment favoring the
poor confession was lost. The
Democrats had kept a close count
on the ballot and realized that a
mistake had been made or else an
attempt to count them out. Dur
ing the melee a number of mo-
tons were made and the speaker
pro tenn in every instance ruled
with the majority.
Noting the confusion, Speaker
Buchanan rushed to the speakers
stand and taking the gavel from
the hand of the speaker pro tenn,
reversed several of his rulings and
announced a square deal and Or
dered a second vote. The result
was the same as on the first bal
lot but it showed that the minority
had carried their point by a vote
OF 81 to SO. 1t is the concensus of
opinion that those who assisted in
sending Democrats to this ses-
sion Of the legislature will never
have anything to apologize for.
FEEDER, of Barton, has been we'll
taken care OF by the Speaker. He
was on the committee to notify
the Governor that the legislature
had convened, and was appointed
on the following other committees:
Employees, Printing, Labor, In
Surance, Education, and chairman
of the committee on Claims and
Accounts, one of the most i'm
portant committees in the house. !
