Edmund F. Erik of Pittsburgh, Pa.
has announced himself as candidate
for clerk of the House of Representa-
tives. and he and his friends are busy
rounding UP support among the repub-
lican members-elect of the next Con-
gress. Mr.. Erik is proceeding upon the
theory that the republicans will con-
troll the organization of the House.
There will be at least thirty republic
can members from Pennsylvania In the
next House and he has assurances Of
support from enough of these, he
claims, to secure his Endorsement for
the place by the Pennsylvania delega-
tion.
Mr.. Erik, who for more than twenty
wears was connected with the newspa-
pers of Pittsburgh. came to Washing
ton about seven years ago to act as
secretary of Representative Stephen q.
Porter. and he has served with Mr.. Por-
fer and other representatives in that
cauacity ever since. The clerkship of
the House, Mr.. Erk's friends say, is
looked upon by many as peculiarly q
Pennsylvania appointment. James Kerr
of Clearfield, Pa. was clerk for four
wears. and the late Maj. Alexander Nc
Dowell of Sharon. Pa, held the place
for fourteen years.

eide on what case should be appealed to
the Supreme Court for the test.
