Seniority Of Service" Observed
in Making Up House
Committees.
"RELIc Of cAnNonIsM"
All Efforts Fail to Bulge Fitz-
gerald From Craftsmanship

Washington, March 25.-Republicans
of the House were amazed to-day to
hear unofiicially that the Dcmocra tic
Committee on Committees is making
up the committee list for the new
Congress by following in the main the
old plan Of seniority service, a relic
of Cannonism"
It has been known from the outset
that Mr.. Fitzgerald would get the
Craftsmanship of Appropriations. be-
cause hejwas the senior Democrat, and
there could be no possible objection
to him on the ground of ability Even
the efforts OF William j. Bryan, fol-
lowed by a personal visit OF the peer

avail to shift Fitzgerald.

The rule, however. will lave to be
vacated in the case of the Committee

to give way for Burleson. Of Texas

is being made against Adamson. OF

he will get the place.
However. 1t appears now that tbs
makeup Of the committees for the
greater part VIII show the sitting
members in the relative positions
where they had hccn placed by tho
wicked Uncle Joe Cannon in past Con-
crosses and the new members will
trail along after them. Which the
Republicans think is as it should be.
This plan however. will tend 10 de-
crease heartburnings. the Democrats
say. and promote satisfaction with the
work Of the Committee on Committees.
