LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. Especial with |
one member OF the committee ont of town |
the meetings Of the house committee on /
committees will not result in any very !
great progress before tomorrow. Gallagher
q member OF the six vets, who with
Speaker Kuhl have held the upper hand ,
all through, has had to leave town ana
that leaves the vote q hopeless six to six |
Speaker Kuhi ig said TO have begun al
ready to withdraw from his position and
Il make advances to the wet democrats
who have been disappointed. in order to |
get them 70 stand by him II he will make |
concessions and about the only thing that
could save q fight on the floor now would
be a revision by the committee of its rec
concentrations.
The republicans met tonight at the Lindell
to draw up thier list OF committee mem
bers which they will submit for the APP
proval and disposition Of the majority. The
republicans seem to be up against some
opposition when they come to name their
own men for the various committees. This
is particularly true In the committee on
privileges and elections.
There was a contest over the seat OF
scheele, the Seward county democrat, and
the democrats are afraid to let the NIL
nority gain any power in this committee
for fear scheeie may eventually lost his
seat TO bis republican opponent, Wertmann
This committee also considers county op-
ton under the regular procedure and the
democrats do not want n to be composed
partly OF dry republicans Of they can pre-
vent II.
Leidirh and Corporations
The proposed changing of the committee
recommendation which was scheduled by
some prophets for tonight, Will be the re-
suit Of division between Speaker kuhl
and Leidigh another member OF the com
mittee. Leidigh was particularly anxious
to be a member so he could get the chair
manship on railroads and Gerdes, the
caucus nominee for the committee, re-
signed TO give him place, Now he is be-
Ing accused % ccrporation ieanings and
Kuhl Is being counseled by his friends to
straighten matters up. or he will be involved
IN similar accusations.
The senate committee on committees ex-
peotod 10 settle matters this evening with
out difficulty or lack OF harmony and will
probobiy be ready 10 go TO work tomorrow

their time in Lincoln were not aware before
