States made a return OF the Republi-
cans to power possible. the fruits Of
the victory are going to the East in
the form OF floor leaderships in both
houses, as well as important commit
tee chairmanships. unless the senior
fty rule is changed.
Feeling in the Senate has already
taken form in a resolution oy Senator
Norris. Nebraska. to prohibit chair
men OF important Senate committees
from serving on any other committee.
This, Norris says, would prevent the
business of the Senate being con-
trolled by a few men. 1t is the first
gun OF the progressive element in its
revolt for recognition from the regu-
lar republicans.
This rule is already in effect in the
House, but many Congressman favor
going a step further and basing all
choices for committee chairmanships
@ merit rather than on length OF
service.
The Progressive wing of the party
has always frowned on the seniority
rule and now many of the old
timers are showing signs Of going
against it

shows that the backbone of the Re-
publican sweep was in Kansas. In
