Flood Is Hailed as
Real House Leader
Political Writer Says Member
From North Carolina Still
Clings to Empty Tile.

The acute war crisis which confront
ed the cation when President Wilson
had delivered TO Congress his indict-
mcnt Of the German government
brought out the fact that Hal d.
Flood, member OF the House OF Rep
rcsentativcs from the Tenth Congress
sional District and chairman Of the
Foreign Relations Committee. is the
real leader of the House Democrats,
according to an article in the last issue
of Town and Country" an ultraconser-
vative periodical published in New
York City.
ing the policy of this country toward
Germany and her allies and Of putting
through slow-working Congress
necessary war measures fell to the
distinguished Virginian. the magazine
says. despite the gentleman from
the empty title" Incidentally. high
praise ia given the rest of the Virginia
delegation, which needed less. accord
ing to the article. the sharp rcbuke
TO Congress contained in a resolution
adopted by the Virginia Council of De-
Tense than some other groups OF Sem
ators and Representatives.
The article reads. in part. as fol-
lows:
with the course followed by the
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations Of the Senate in the war
crisis fresh in our minds, it's small
wonder that We are experiencing re-
vulsion of feeling against the seniority
rule, which gives, the choice chairman
ships to the oldest committee MEM
bers in point of service of the domi-
nant party.
However. although Representative
Henry Delaware Flood. Of Virginia.
have attained ri r n n n ~ ha
House Committee on Foreign Relations
by virtue OF the number of times his
constituents have returned him to Con-
gress he has proved himself the real
leader OF the House Democrats, de-
spite the gentleman from North Caro-
lima. who still clings to the empty
title. Representative Flood had the
shaping of such formal statements OF
policy toward Germany and her allies
as came before Congress for action.
Moreover, he lined up at once with
those who finally succeeded in bring
food of argument and debate. which
came near swapping the administra-
tons war measures"
After rcciting some Of Mr.. Flood s
political history. the article concludes:
"Mr Flood has kept plugging away
without any ELUSIVE demonstrations but
withal has a splendid record of ac-
complishment. He has all true Vir-
gintan's pride in his State and district,
and loves to talk of their contribution
to history and the richness of their
agriculture. On the other hand he has
strong national consciousness.
He was for eight years mem
her OF the board OF visitors Of the
University of Virginia. Representative
Flood married Miss Anna Valer Port
ner. of Washington. Their home has
been the scene of much delightful hos
pitality. and the cordial social rela-
tions they have maintained with the
diplomatic corps in Washington have
served in no small degree to crystal
lie Mr.. Floods broad and sympathetic
views on International matters"
