CONNECTICUT MEN IN CONGRESS

CONNECTICUT MEN IN CONGRESS
 Connecticut members of Congress are to be accorded wider recognition during the 'Sixty-Sixth session, ac- cording to forecasts from Washing ton, after several years of relegation to minor committees by @ democratic majority. This is glad news to re- publicans who worked so hard to back to Capitol Hill and who were successful in winning all except single berth.
 It is reported that Senator Brande- gee will be selected as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, to preside in the absence Of the Vice President, who is presiding officer of that body. Senator Brandegee is well schooled in parliamentary law and in other re-
 spects merits the appointment, which will be considered as mark of no
 little respect by the average Connect icut citizen. It will be no novelty for
 Senator Brandegee to occupy the seat of the presiding officer as he has ire quently been called upon to act in that capacity. It Is predicted that
 Senator Brandegee may also receive the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee.
 Senator Mclean may be selected for chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, which is ex
 pected to recommend radical changes in our present federal reserve bank
 system.
 Republican representative are an- ticipating appointment to committees of more importance than during dem ocratic control Representative Til son will at least retain his seat with the Military Committee, it is believed. Mr. Tilson proved to be a valuable member of this committee during the war period and won encomiums from Democratic officials charged With the conduct of the war. Other Republi- \ can representative are looking for ward to important appointments Congressman Lonergan, Connecticut S lone Democratic representative, will probably retain his seat in the Com mittee on Banking and Currency Had @ the Democratic party captured a ma \ iority in the House, Congressman M Lonergan would probably have been
 appointed to the Committee on Ways N and Means.
 Connecticut boils with politics dur # ing election periods. At other times X 1t settles back to the routine of busi- \ ness, forgets the past, faces the fu- ture confidently and is proud of any # recognition it's representatives in Con- gress are given, regardless of their po- M litica1 affiliations. That is the sensi-
 ble thing to do.

Attorney John w. Stayton is in receipt of information to the effect that probably an airplane from. Eb- berts Field at Lonoke will arrive in Newport tomorrow (Friday) How ever, the visit is not an assured fact. A committee this morning secured ground through the courtesy of H.. Clay Sanders for a landing place. The landing field to be used in the event the plane arrives is located at the end of Walnut street, where the last circus staged it's performances, and of course everybody knows where that is.
 The fire alarm will be sounded to- morrow if the plane comes in sight, which will notify everybody that the above designated place will be the point to make for.

ARKANSAS CASUALTIES.

The casualty list for today released by the committee on public informa- ton at Washington, contains total of PAT names. There were 95 killed in action, 35 missing in action, lO2 severely wounded, 2 died of accident and other causes, and 13 died from wounds. From this total the follow- ing names from Arkansas appear:
 Sam H. Wallingford, Blythesville, Ark, reported severely wounded; Theron w. Agee, Ozark, Ark, severe ly wounded; Henry E. Trusler, se- verely wounded and previously re- ported missing, the two latter names being from the marine casualty list; Floyd U. Benbrook, Wideman, Ark, killed in action.
 The casualty lists appearing of late contain very few names from this state, for which we are cs4ly thankful, the probable reason for this being that very few Arkansas troops are in the front line trenches just now.
