CLOSURE in CON1nESS.
The Rule of the Previous Question
In the Lower House.

nc iul6 OF thS F'oS'SSS
In the Lower House.
"Cloture" is our word Closure"
Gallicized. S far as it's use in par.
liamentary btj;ics is concerned,
Webster defines closure" as fol-
lows: "a method of putting an end
to debate and securing an immedi-
ate vote upon a measure before a
legislative body. 1t is similar in
effect to the previous question"
In the house 'the previous ques-
tion," our name for cloture or clos,
ure, has been in use almost from
the beginning and is Of high privi-
iege-only two other motions-"To
adjourn" and "To lay on the table"
ranking it. With the large house
membership we could not go very
far without it. Mr.. Speaker Reed
once truthfully said, CAL the rules
of the house are intended to aid in
the transaction of business, not to
retard il" Most assuredly "the
previous question"-that is, Shall
the main question now be putt
tends to expedite the transaction OF
business. When Speaker Mullen
berg called the first house to order
he presided over ffty-six members
Rhode Island and North Carolina
not then being in the Union.
With so few members there was
no necessity for 'the previous ques-
tion." In the earlier day there was
time sufficient for the handful OF
members to talk to their hearts
content. The house is now COM
posed of 435 members, two terri
torial delegates, two commissioners
from the Philippines and one from
Porto Rico. 1t is patent that every
member cannot speak ad libitum.
When we conclude that there has
been a quantum suficit of debate,
some member, usually the member
having the bill in charge, moves tho
previous question. If that motion
prevails the bill is Immediately vot-
ed on. If the motion for the previ-
Gus question is defeated the control
of the bill swings to the leader OF
the opposition to the bill.
"The previous question" is not in
order in the committee of the whole

LOOK FOR SPEARS
TO DEFEAT DUPUY
DOpester Figures Way for Aus
tralian CycIist to Capture
BrasSard.
HARD BATTLE is EXPECTED

If Dupuy loses the Brassard to
Spears and Spears loses to, say,
Goullet, and "Goullie'' is beaten by
Kramer, what then? This was tina
drift of a conversation among the
bicycle riders after a workout at the
Yelodrome yesterday. As one rider
nut It. If the Brassard ever gets up
TO Kramer. the champion may have
to ride a match every week for the
rest of the season, figuring that he
is apt to hold the prize most of the
time. 1t is just possible, though
that the Brassard will be kept out
of the hands of big Steve" unless
one of the other riders should mon
opolize the prize and there would be
no other man able to beat him than
the "old master.
Meanwhile Marcel Dupuy is holding
the prize. Bob Spears figures to win
next Sunday, but he will have no
lead pipe cinch on his hands, The
Frenchman is no slouch when it
comes to actual sprinting. As for
track generalship he has put it all
over MeDougall Cavanagh and
Clark, who have raced him for the
prize.
You know headworl< constitutes
seventy-f1ve per cent. of match
racing" remarkedfa a dopester, in dis
cussing how a rider could best beat
Dupuy. "1f Kramer were riding
Dupuy, he'd never let him get in that
sprint. Steve would just keep the
Frenchman penned in at the top OF
the track, the place he always seeks
to start his dash.
HRN efal1inp IL ra I1lpr would hold
Dupuy back until he himself WAS in
clined to 60 As matter of fact,
the champer wouldn't have to sprint
more than fifty yards to win the
race Spears ought to be able to
win just as easily if he adopts SINH
lar tactics.
"By no means ride in front of ths
Frenchman until the time arrives
for the real sprint. A rider should
either box him in or remain slightly
behind him. Then if Dupuy makes
his bid, shooting down the embank-
ment, the other fellow can be right
with him, and Il rider like Spears
ought to be able to scoot past Frenchy
in the final sprint
There are bigger events than the
Brassard on the Velodrome program
for Sunday, among them a four-cor-
nered team sprint match and q ten
mile tandem paced race, but the fact
that Dupuy has monopolized the
Brassard for the last three weeks, and
beaten a trio of mighty good OPP
ponents, has caused the other riders
to put their heads together for
plan to accomplish the Frenchman'
downfall, and this is about due to
occur next Sunday, when Spears
takes hack at the prize.
