the eclipse would be visible from

Personal Preferences of Men,
bers May Counteract Shade
of Republican Advantage.
CHANGE IN SENIORITY RULE
Elimination of Certain Radicals
as Committee chairmen Now
Under Consideration.

Increasing prospects that an extra
session OF Congress will be called
within a few weeks has made the
House wing of the Capitol a rumor
factory regarding the organization and
control of the lower branch of the ma
tional legislature.
Although the Republicans appear to
have a shade the advantage today, no
member will prophesy who will con-
troll the next House. One guess is
that the House will have a Demo
cratic Speaker and Republican COM
mittees: another that the Republicans
will surely, control altogether II the
Conry vacancy Is not filled, and still
another that some of the malcontents
on the Republican side will tie up the
situation so the G. o. P. cannot make
progress.
In Republican circles there are
hints of a change in the seniority
rule, evidently with the idea of disci-
plining one or two Republicans who
have not always been regular" II
disciplinary measures are attempted,
however, the House is so close that

il was learned today that the Republl-

with the Republicans as a matter os

of the number required to elect a
Speaker and control the House. 1t is
now regarded as practically certain
that the other three independents
Fuller of Massachusetts,, Schall of
Minnesota, Whitmsll 7. Martin OF
Louisiana-will vote with the Re
publicans. If there are no vacancies
or absentees among Republicans on
organization day, this would give the
C. o. =. 2lS votes, one more than a
majority.
Republican leaders have decided to
call a party caucus five days in ad-
vance of the convening of the extra
session. At this conference the plan
OF the party will be finally worked
out. Today, 1t was said, there is no
comprehensive plan of action.
While admitting that such thing
is possible-in view OF the unusual
circumstances-the Republicans are
not yet willing to confirm reports that
the House may be organized along
bipartisan lines: that is, that Speak
er Champ Clark will be retained as
presiding officer and the Republicans
will control the important commit
tees.
1t is privately conceded that the
Speaker is more apt to get Republi-
can vote than Mr.. Mann, the minority
leader, is to land a Democratic vote.
The Speaker is personally popular on
the Republican side of the chamber.
He has made a fair presiding officer
and it would not be wholly surpris-
ing IL he were elected, should dead
lock threaten to tie up organization
indefinitely.
Rule of Seniority.
That the rule of seniority in COM
mittee ichairmanships may not obtain
all along the line should the Repub-
licans organize the House was inti-
mated in Republican sources today. A
plan has been broached to have a
of nominations, both in the
caucus and in the House,
for each committee and to designate
as chairman the nominee receiving the
most votes.
1t is understood there Is an under
current of objection to one or two
men who are in line for committee
chairmanships. Mr.. Cooper Of Wis
consin, for instance, Is ranking Re-
publican on the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. He belonged to the old sin
surgent group" has been in the fore
front OF the fight for a change in
House rules, and has never trained
with the regulars. That
a means for disp'acing Mr.. Cooper
may be found by giving some other
more votes when nomina-
tions are made for the Foreign Affairs
is quite possible.
1t is understood that similar argu-
ments may be made against the NOM
nation of Mr.. Cary of Wisconsin as
chairman OF the District of Columbia
Committee. Mr.. Cary. too. Is regarded
as OF the anti-regular type.
The decapitation plan has not been
decided upon, and the regulars do not
admit such a program is being con
sidered, but there is authority for the
statement that the seniority rule will
not necessarily apply unless the regu-
lars should decide It inexpedient to
make a change. In the present mixed
Up situation it is said an abandon
nent OF the seniority rule has been
seriously suggested and is now under

Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy has
brought health and happiness to many
who thought themselves beyond aid.
Diabetes is a peculiar and battling
disease which the medical profession
seems to be unable to accurately de-
scribe and definitely cure despite the
many years of experimenting and re-
search by foremost physicians
throughout the world.
Diabetes is invariably the result of
impaired nutrition-this results in an
excess of sugar in the blood and fail
ure Of the food to nourish, hence a
gradual wasting away while eating
well.
Symptoms of the disease are, in
creased thirst, excess of urine, ema-
citation and dry skin, often with
sweetish odor.
Following, are a few voluntary
words of praise from a man who has
used Warmers Safe Diabetes Reme-
dy with gratifying results. Perhaps
you may be benefited in like
