These are the ten big men In the
house organization, as selected Dy
Speaker Paul Stillman and announced
by him at today's session OF the legis-
lature. He has divided his sixty-one
chairmanships among the standpat-
tiers, progressives and democrats
about as evenly as was possible, con-
sidering the fact that his own faction
is in the lead numerically.

is the only man who comes out OF the
little end of the horn to a noticeable
degree He wanted the Craftsmanship
OF the judiciary committee and wanted
it badly. It was given to Garrit klay
of Sioux county, who was q candidate
against Stillman for the speakership.
e. R. Moore, of Linn county Is returned
to the Craftsmanship of the approprla-
lions committee post he didn't want.
Harding gets the committee on munich
pal corporations, desirable one but
not so desirable as that on judiciary.

Moore and Harding these two commit
tees, and it is evident that he prac-
tically promised this arrangement
when the standpatters finally agreed
to vote for him for speaker and thus
permit the organization Of the house.
