of Pennsylvania, single-taxer and pro-
fessed pacifist, who talked paciflcism
long before the present quarrel be-
tween war and peace, will not be seen
in the next House. Neither will Elijah
Cox of Indiana. who has been at
swords points with every man in the
government service who wante a

political asset has been his open fight
against all personal increases in the
government service.
Representative William S. Bennett of
New York goes out of Congress after
a term of service. He has had a career
of ''in and out" inasmuch as he has
been elected and defeated alternately

tive Buchanan, a famous labor men,

has been on the losing side of the pre-
paredness question, was defeated. and
his seat will be filled by a republican.

WOMAN MEMBER
IN THE L|MEL|GHT
Miss Rankin of Montana May
Figure Largely in Next
Session.
MANY NEW FACES IN HOUSE

Probably when the next House con-
venes every one in the galleries, and per-
haps a few on the floor, will be craning
their necks to get glimpse of the first
woman to be elected to a seat in the ma
tional legislature of the United States.
Miss Jannette Rankin, member OF the
House from Montana to succeed Repre-
sentative Tom Stout, who was not can
didate for reelection, will be the center
Of attraction, at least until every one
takes the presence of a woman in the
House as a matter of course
Miss Rankin is one of a little group
which has been in the imeGght recently
in connection with the makeup OF the
Sixty fifth Congress She was elected
as a republican, but also had a republican
opponent at one stage of her progress
through Montana.
Next to the thrill which ran through
the country at the knowledge that the
lady from Montana" had been elected,
was the excitement arising from the close
lineup between the democrats and re-
publicans in the Sixty-fifth Congress. At
this time each party claims 215 sure votes,
providing democratic successor is chosen
to succeed the late Representative Conry,
democrat, who died a few days ago,
leaving five independents in most en-
viable position, as they are said to be able
to swing the next House and give the
SpeakerShip. control OF patronage and
committees to the party to which they
pledge their votes. These independ-
ents are Fuller of Massachusetts. who
succeeds Representative Roberts; Meyer
London of New York, socialist; two
progressives, Schall of Minnesota and
Martin of Louisiana, and Representa-
tive Randall of California, elected on
the prohibition ticket. Present indica-
tions are that Fuller will vote for the
republican candidate for Speaker: that
II
Schall will vote with the republicans,
Randall with the democrats, leaving
Martin. the Louisiana progressive, with
no one in complete knowledge of how
his vote on the opening day will be
cast.

Many New Faces in House.

Many new faces will be seen in the
next House, which. of course, means
that several veterans retire from Con-
gress. Two House men. Calder of New
York and McKellar of Tennessee, go to
the Senate. while Representative
Humphrey of Oregon and Represent
ative Henry of Texas, who raced for
the Senate in their states, retire to
private life. There are several volun-
tary retirements. among them being
two men well known to Washington
through their association with the
Districts affairs as well as their long
residence These are Representative
Lloyd of Missouri and Representative
Page of North Carolina.
Representative Lloyd has been a
member of the District committee for
only one term, at his own request but
has been an active and valuable ad-
junct to that body. Representative
Page for four years has been in charge
of the District appropriation bill, act
ing at the head of subcommittee of
the appropriations committee. During
his stewardship there have been stren-
uous days for the District of Columbia,
and most of the legislation connected
with the capital has been in his bill.

Thousands of people normally

Centers on Representative Martin.

These indications would give the re-
publicans 217 votes, the democrats 2l6,
with London voting present" and Rep
resentative Martins vote in the air.
AS far as is known, there is no one in
the House of Representatives with any
more definite knowledge of possibil-
tiles in connection with the next House
and its organization.
The speakership fight will therefore
be more interesting than any House
control question since the far-famed
rules fight The party which elects
the Speaker will also name the COM
mittee chairmen, the clerks of the
House, the postmaster. sergeant-at-
arms. etc. Moreover. the responsible
ity of the party policy lies to consid-
erable extent in the House, and for that
reason there are many republicans who
believe their party will gain nothing
by having a divided Congress.
Champ Clark is the democratic cam
didate for Speaker. while there is a
more or less muddled situation on the
republican side. The able floor leader.
Representative Mann of Illinois, had
been looked upon as the logical candi-
date until a few weeks ago. when a
one-man revolution against him was
started by Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts. He declared in favor
of Representative Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin, who made no sign of recognition
in reply, and until this day neither
Representative Mann, nor Represent
ative Gardner. nor Representative Len
root has said word on the subject.
