The senate committees no. only
exercise practical control over all
legislation Of congress, but they will
control no little patronage. The agi-
tation in Democratic ranks has arisen
from the fact that a few Democrats

posed plan, he would be entitled to
select craftsmanship but then would
have to give second place on the 9TH
er committee to members not now
holding important positions.
Among the committees over which
Senator Tillman would exercise con-
troll are appropriations, interstate
commerce and naval affairs.
Senator Bacon commands the first
place on five committees among them
