Gratis, with the aid of four OF the FIVE

when the new congress assembled to-
day. re-electing Speaker Champ

to Office with him all the other dem

Mr. Clark received PIT votes against

There were no other nominations and

days ago. was declared elected. In
brief address the speaker pleaded for
united action in the present crisis
Calling of the roll was rep1ete with
outbursts of applause, but the lions
share went to Miss Jeanette Rankin,
of Montana, a republican and the first
woman to be elected to the house.
Selection of the minor officers of the
house was delayed by the republicans
who, hoping to obtain one or two
places, demanded separate rolls on
each office. Democrats were elected
to all of the four contested offices,
however, and the house then proceed
ed to adopt its rules and organize
committees.
An effort by Representative Mann to
prevent adoption of the rules which
governed the last congress was futile.
In the organization of committees
the house followed out the selections
made by democratic leaders.
