BIPARTISAN ORGANIZATION
OF HOUSE is POSSIBL e
Such Is Opinion of Republican Canoa-
date for Speaker

Such Is Opinion of Republican Canda-
date for Speaker.
ngtOn.-Despite many confer
ences among leaders and animated dis
cussiOn of many proposals for working
out Democratic, Republican or bi-par-
tisan control Of the incoming house
of representatives, there are few signs
that the plans of either Of the big par
ties or the little group of independents
will take definite form until within a
few days of the meeting of the spe.
cial session on April Is.
Most Of the members have left the
Scapital with the impression that the
lines for the organization fight can
not be drawn a month in advance be-
cause of the shifting of strength due
to deaths and uncertainties surround
ing plans for special elections to fill
the vacancies. Republican Leader
Mann, who will be his party's candi-
date for speaker, departed after an
nouncing that he would not favor any
trading for Republican control and pre-
dieting that bipartisan organization
was mot improbable"
The fluctuating standings of the
parties presented the prospect that
the Democrats will have 215 votes and
the Republicans PA when the special
session convenes. It will require 218
to elect a speaker. The five sO-called
Independents holding the balance of
power have been unable so far to
agree on concerted course, but they
will meet again just before the begin
ming of the session.

NEW YORK is AGAIN
TO VOTE ON SUFFRAGE

Albany, NJ Y.-The resolution to pro-
vide for referendum on the woman

next November was passed in the Sen
ate by a vote of 80 to 7. The action
was the last step in the legislative
procedure preliminary to referring the
subject to the electorate. The meas
ure is concerned with amending the
state constitution and consequently
zoos not have to receive the approval
of the governor.

reached decision. It was given the
authority to act without referring the

done SO. They have agreed to spend
two hundred and twenty dollars for
the Battery in q way that will make
the men Of the Battery remember
with pleasure the action Of the Club

necessary to make clothes chests for
each man in the Battery and in addi-

the material.
So far this is the largest effort that
any organization or individual has ex'
erted in behalf Of the Battery and will
swell the donations to the organiza-
ton.
The action of the Club was taken
after due consultation with Captain
Harry Hulen Of the Battery and he
said that the chests were badly needed
by the men. The efforts Of the Club
will be greatly appreciated BY the
