ONLY Nine STATES
LOCATED IN SOUTH
CONTROL CONGRESS
Capitalization OF Power Which
ls Remindfu OF
Prussia.

Washington. d. C.-The Democratic
party controls Congress. The South
controls the Democratic party. Result:
The South controls Congress and die
tates national legislation.
Nearly every important committee
In the Senate has a Southern Demo
crat for its chairman. Among these
are the Committees on Appropriations
Commerce, District of Columbia,
Finance. Immigration, Intsroceanic Ca
nails, Interstate Commerce, judiciary,
Manufacturers. Naval Affairs, Post Of
hces and Post Roads, as well as anoth-
er committee which Is at any crisis In
the parliamentary affairs of the Senate
the most important of all, the Commit
tee on Rules, Of which Lee Overman, a
Democrat, Of North Carolina Is Chair
man.
Not only does each important Senate
committee have a Southern Democrat
for chairman, but the majority of each
Senate committee Is composed of Dem
ocrats, under the rules which give the
party In power the majority Of each
committee. The only way to change
this is to place the Republicans In pow
or and let all sections of the United
States have chairmanships.
As II now is Senators from Southern
states, with sectional prejudices, are
holding a monopoly OF the direction Of
practically all important national poll
cies and all legislation affecting the
activities Of the nation. They direct
the raising of revenues, appropriation
Of money, control of finance and bank
ing, shipping, education and labor, ag-
riculture and immigration, canals, rail-
roads and other forms of transporta-
ton, army, navy, public health and
other national affairs.
Autoeracy Of Nine States.
In the House of Representatives Sec
tionalism and Southern domination Is
even more pronounced than In the SEN
ate.
There are 81 House Committees, and
the chairman of AZ of them Is South
ern Democrat Democrats from the
North and West, representing 81 differ
ent states, have been allotted only u
chairmanships and these are OF a
minor character. In Otner Worus,
Northern Democrats representing two
thirds of the states In the Union and
even a much greater proportion Of the
population, wealth, Industrial, agricul-
tural and business interests, are cut
off with only one-third of the chair
manships in the House Of Representa-
tives.
Even the ehairmanshIps allotted to
the Southern Democrats are very
"close corporation" Out of 81 House
ehairmanships "a, or over half OF
them, are kept within the Democratic
membership from nine Southern states.
Never In the history of this republic
has the power of determining national
policies ever been concentrated in the
hands of a few men or so monopolized
by handful of states. 1t unpleasantly
reminds one Of the manner in which, by
similar methods, the state Of Prussia
is able to dictate to the entire German
Empire, regardless of the Will or
wishes or interests Of the other states
OF Germany,
