MORE DEMOCRATS
: TO HAVE PLACES
ON COMMITTEES
Progressive Party Members
Will BelAllowed to Shift
For Themselves.

Democratic leaders who have been
casting about to solve the question Of
how to find committee places for all the
aspiring Democrats who will be In the
House after March I. have practically
concluded TO Increase the Democratic
strength on the committees and reduce
the Republican strength.
The plan is 10 add one to the Demo-
cratic side Of the committees and SUBJ
stract one from the Republican side.
Az for the Progressive party members.
they will be allowed to shift for them
selves. That Is. the Democrats will
recognize but one minority party. II
the Progressive party members get
places on committees. they will have to
get them through the grace Of the Re-
publicans.
Good for Democrats.
SO far AS the Democrats arc concerr,-
cd. II will be good arrangement. In
n smuch as It will give them about nifty
more committee berths than they have
now. II will enable them to, scatter
around the committe assignments with
out getting into 10 much difficulty aa
they would II the number Of places
were IUOTe IIItSu.
From the standpoint Of the Republi.
cans and the Progressive party mon,
however, the new Arrangement will not
be satisfactory. Not only will the Re.
publican places be cut down.. but the
Progressive part men do not like to be
put In the position OF depending fol-
their committee y, aces on the grace OF
the Republicans. The Progressive yaGty
men take the view that inasumch al
their candidate for President got more
popular votes In November than the
Republican candidate. their party Is en-
titled to consideration.
Can Claim Injustice.
However. long -headed Progressive
party men are astute enough to see ina
II the Democrats and Republicans botf
prevent them from getting on commit
tees they will be enabled to make CAPT
tai out Of II.
In other words. the Progressive part,
men can say they are being unjustl!
treated. and make this one Of the issue.
which they carry to the couitry. There
fore, the Progressive party men are lit
| tie worried about what is done Will
