WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. - Mem heFs of the house of representatives in the newly elected sixty- fifth con- gress face one of the most uncer- tain organization situations in the history of the government.
 With a few districts still in doubt. the republicans appear to have d plurality of four or five members and ia possible majority of two or three when it is figured that an independ- ent elected in Massachusetts and a progressive elected in Minnesota probably will vote with them for or sanization purposes. Independence of action has characterized a number of the re- elected members on the re- publican side, however, and their at titude toward democratic legislation In the last few years has given democratic leaders cause for hope that some of them might carry their in dependence into the organization of the next house.
 As matters stand. the republican lchoice for speaker will be James E. 1 Mann, the present minority leader, and Speaker Clark generally is re- sarded as the democratic choice to succeed himself Already. however there are rumblings of uncertainties because of the close political division. On the republican side there are re-
 ports of disaffections against the IDs.r Ttt~.l

 The mineral exhibit, showing the principal products of the mines of Ari- ZOna, which is under the direction of Superintendent Joe N Prochaska. will be considerably larger than during past years More than 50,000 pounds of high grade ores will be shown in this exhibit this year than was exhibited at the state fair in 1915.
 The model of the hattleship Wy oming, sister ship of the new dread- naught Arizona, is on display at the fair grounds. a monster wireless has been installed and is in charge of Fred Roebuck, Robert Higgy and James Cir and, who represent the Radio Associ- ation of Arizona The operators have been in communication with stations on the Panama canal. in Canada and with various ships in the Pacific ocean. This will he a very interesting feature of the big fair
 The speed program for which more than $16,000 has been offered. will be the biggest in the history of an Arizona State Fair. Not only will there be a very attractive offering of horse races but the motorcycle and automobile races will be highly interesting.
 Secretary T. D. Shaughnessy and the Arizona State Fair Commission de- serves great credit for the commend able manner in which they have ar ranged the program this year. Therell be something doing every minute ac- cording to those who are familiar with the nature of the program and have seen many of the high class acts and features that have been arranged.
 The stock exhibit will be bigger than ever this year as a result of the great interest that has been created among the cattlemen of the state Likewise will the collection of farming imple- ments and agricultural products out rival the similar displays of previous years.
 In the Women's department and art exhibit the displays will be greater than ever before as result of the ef- forts of Mrs. James, who has succeeded in gathering together the greatest col lection of pictures, both paintings and photographs, that have ever been shown at an Arizona State Fair
 Secretary Shaughnessy has made ar engagements for the automobiles to use Grand avenue directly to the fair grounds. In past years the machines were compelled to take a longer route to the grounds as this thoroughfare was reserved exclusively for horse drawn vehicles This year the longer route will be taken by those who drive horses in view of the great preponder- ance of motor cars
 Arrangements have been made to handle the large crowds at the gates this year without any delay. As re- suit of Secretary Shaughnessys efforts the commission has employed a number of additional ticket sellers and takers who will be able to handle the big | crowds. There will be no unnecessary waiting.
 All automobile drivers who display special State Fair signs will carry passengers for 25c and these cars will have access to the grounds. Patrons are warned not to ride in other cars in event they do not want to be charged 1 more
