Norman Lyman has for several wee
been quietly but steadily gain
strength in the house. On several
Casions he has effectively opposed II

Therefore there seems to be 30
question as to who is the real leader
the revolt against Holstein-Andrt
or Lyman. That there is very !
revolt is apparent But it must
horne in mind that in years past tn
have been other reyolts against
member from Kohala, who for six G
secutive terms has reigned over
house as Speaker, and that not sir
one of them has ever succeeded. M
