than the two present aVoWed candl-
dates throws his hat into the ring.
John NJ. Vandiver, present tax col
lector and former postmaster under
President Cleveland wants the Rome
postmastership, and 50 does Jack Nc
CARNEY, managing editor of The Rome
Tribune Herald.
That is going to make it mighty en-
barra ssing for Rome to take sides.
Both of these aspirants are very pop
ular, both exceptionally fine fellows
and both amply equipped for the job.
If either would retire in the others ia
vor, Rome doubtless would make it
unanimous.
Rather than choose between Mozart
ney and Vandiver, the average Roman
will prefer to take to the woods, in all
probability.
Those few people who just natural
~ will not be happy in this world, no
matter what happens, are viewing pes
simistically nowadays the overwhelm-
ing Democratic majority in the next
house Of representatives in Washing
ton.
Said one Geogian today, discussing
the matter: 1T would be much better
| If the margin of control were closer.
When the margin is narrow. con-
gressmen are much more dependent
upon one another than they are when
it is wide. And the inevitable conse-
quence is that peace in the family is
more easily obtained and preserved.
With big margin. factions arise
and mean family spats occur. The
temptation to row is much greater in a
big majority than in a small one.
Democrats are not as easily disci-
plined as Republicans, moreover-and
while this may be to their credit in a
way, it frequently interferes seriously
with the progress of legislation along
lines likely to stand before the country
in its broader aspect
Il would much have preferred a mar
row margin of control As an immedi-
ate example of the tendency TO insur-
gency in big majority. call attention
to the fact that Congressman Henry,

a receptive candidate for speaker of

Imagine disputing Clark's right to
be renamed the speaker. 1t makes me
tired-and it argues no good"
| There is. to be sure, more than one
grain of wholesome truth in what this
gentleman says-still, the victory vet
is so young that most folks of Demo-
cratic persuasion will prefer to cross
no bridges before they reach them.
