democratic majority in the senate was
fairly generous with their republican
brethren in the distribution of chairman
ships, but not as generous as was the
republican majority at the last session
with the democratic minority. fifteen of
the forty chairmanshps given being given
TO the minority or about one-third. This
session only four chairmanshlps go to
the republican minority out Of the twen-
ty-five. or about one-sixth
some Republicans Land.
The republicans who have landed this
session are Spencer of Gage. who gets
the Craftsmanship on banks and currency;
Mallcry of Box Butte, who receives the
head of the labor committee Saunders
OF Douglas, who lands the committee on
miscellaneous subjects and Keichel of
Nemaha, who gets the committee on
public institutions.
On most of the committees. however,
the republicans are given good repre-
sentation, in most cases the democrats
having only small majority of one. On
the Important finance committee the
democrats have the bulge on the repub-
liz. ms, six to three. the three republicans
who will have to work with a two to one
handicap against them being Kiechel,
