CONTEST DUE FOR
PLACE OF SPEAKER
SEVERAL REPUBLICANS WILL BE
CANDIDATES FOR THIS VERY
IMPORTANT OFFICE.
ILL HEALTH MAY BAR MANN
Shifting of chairmanships That Will
Come When Republicans Take Con-
troll Of Senate-Department of Com
meree Plans Trade Extension.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-The first real speak
ership contest since 1891 Is likely to
follow the recent election. Ever since
the famous Crlsp-Mills contest the
speakership has gone to some man
by practically unanimous consent.
With the Republicans returning 10
power after eight years, there is likely
to be quite a spirited struggle among
a number of men who will no doubt
consider themselves eligible. If for
mer Minority Leader Mann is in physi-
cal condition he will likely be a candi-
date. Glllett of Massachusetts, who
has been acting minority leader, Is
sure to be candidate. Then there are
]. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania.
Frank w. Mondell of Wyoming. Julius
Kahn of California, Nicholas Long
worth and Simeon ID. Fess of Ohio, and
Joseph w. Fordney. of Michigan, all Of
whom may be in the race at least for a
little while. AS 1t is possible that the
Republicans will restore to the speaker
the power to appoint committees the
position may be much more valuable
than 1t has been during the past eight
years.

Pudding in History.

Pudding in its early form was made
of minced meat of some sort, well sea-
soned and stuffed into an intestine.
and then cooked by boiling. There are
words in many early languages mean
ing pudding, but it seems originally to
hare come from some word meaning
short body or inflated skin.

When control of the senate passes
to the Republicans there will be an in
teresting shifting of chairmanships. OF
the most important committees the fol-
lowing are likely to be chairmen: Ap-
preparations, Warren of Wyoming !;
banking and currency, Mclean of
Connecticut; finance. Penrose of Penn
sylvania; foreign relations, Lodge Of
Massachusetts judiciary, Nelson of
Minnesota commerce, Jones of Wash
ington; agriculture. Page or Vermont /;
interstate commerce, Cummins of
Iowa; military affairs. Wadsworth of
New York; naval affairs, Poindexter
of Washington; post offices, Townsend
of Michigan.
Probably Senator Lodge will have
his choice of two other positions, that
of being majority leader, or president
pro tempore of the senate. But more
than either, the great qualification to
him will be the Craftsmanship of the
foreign relations committee at one of
the most important periods of our his
tory.

The Kangaroo Industry.

In australia kangaroo farming is an
anportant industry. The hides are val
gable and the tendons extremely fine;
sndA3d, they are the best known to sur
;seons for sewing up wounds, and es-
pecially for holding broken bones to-
gether, being much finer and tougher

have followed, no matter which party
had won the fight. 1t is also fact
that suffrage or antl-suffrage cut no
figure in the elections. The only prom
inent anti-suffragist that was defeated
was Weeks of Massachusetts. while
Baird was elected in New Jersey.
Salisbury. an anti-sufrrngist, was de-
feated in Delaware, while Folk, SUI
fragist, was defeated In Missouri. II
is evident that the election was fought
on party lines, and such issues as
suffrage and even prohibition had lit
tie to do with the success or defeat OF
different candidates.

Indications are that trade between
nations will be hummlng after the
war. Already the department of COM
merce has arranged a program call
ing for large increase in the number
of commercial attaches in foreign
countries. There are only IL of these
attaches at present, but the depart
ment has asked congress to appropri-
ate for Is altogether. Commercial at
taches are employed for their ability
to scent business from distance. re-
port on trade conditions in foreign
countries and give advice and assist
ance to American firms desiring to do
business with foreign houses. Great
Britain proposes to have 27 of these
attaches in her service, and Germany
will probably have more than all other
countries together. She will probably
need them.

''How are the mighty fallen" Ro-
nance is nearly gone from war nova
days. Not only from war between men,
but in the older war of men upon ami

some instances because the animals
came after them. Hundreds of men
made their living by hunting then

A committee composed of members
of number of farming organizations
recommended to President Wilson that
the draft law be applied to farm work
ers who are not continuously em-
ployed in some agricultural pursuit.
Under this arrangement, after farm
er had done all that was required on
his own farm (f that ever happens)
he could be ordered by draft board
to go over and help some neighbor who
was behind In his work. AS COM
pensation for this he would be given
a badge. The president declined to
make use of this idea, but gave his ap-
proval to proposition for enrolling
the farmers into an organization to do
such work voluntarily.

Quite number of American boys
who have had a more or less hazy idea
that kings were the worst class of peo-
pie on earth. may come back from Eu-
rope after the war with a different
view on that subject. King George OF
England seems to be making himself
solid with the Yanks. He has eaten
'fiapJacks" and apple pie. and chatted
with any number of wounded soldiers
at hospitals in England. That is one
of the great benefits to be got from
this war. There is not man who
Games back from Europe who will not
have gained clearer and truer view
of other peoples. Whether or not It
has any good points, no one can deny
that war is great educator.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-11-30

Already there has been speculation
as TO the organization of the house OF
representatives and also in regard to
the chairmanships of the several COM
mittees. The selection of speaker
will have something to do with the
chairmanships. If Congressman GIL
lett of Massachusetts is elected speak
er the craftsmanship of the important
committee on appropriations would go
to Good of Iowa. but If Gillett is not
speaker he will be chairman of that
committee. Other chairmanships OF
first class committees are likely to be
as follows: Ways and means, Ford
ney of Michigan: agriculture, Haugeh
of Iowa banking and currency, Hayes
of California; foreign affairs. Porter
of Pennsylvania interstate and for
eign commerce. Esch of Wisconsin;
judiciary. Volstead of Minnesota; mill
tnry affairs. Kahn of California; naval
affairs, Butler of Pennsylvania post
offices, Steenerson of Minnesota; pub
lie lands, La Toilette of Washington.
The men thus named are ranking Re
publican members of these committees
at the present time. OF course there
may be number of upsets In these
calculations, but the probabilities are
that nearly all of the ranking Repub-
lican members of committees will be
advanced to chairmanships, particular
Iy If the house elects the committees
and they are not appointed by the
speaker.

The recent election rearranges a
number of presidential states. Natu-
rally the victory of the Republicans
gives them great deal of cnfi-
dence, and they hope to elect the
next president 1t is pointed out that
for more than 80 years the success of
party at the midterm congressional
elections has forecast the result of the
next presidential election.
Generally speaking. politicians be-
lieve that the election has given candi-
dates other than President Wilson or
Secretary McAdoo quite boost. ana
eyes have been turned toward Cover
nor Cox of Ohio. In fact, it might
happen that both candidates in l92o
would be from Ohio, as Senator Hard
ing might be the Republican nominee.
1t Is generally conceded that the
election removes at least two eastern
candidates, Senator Weeks of Massa-
chusetts and Governor Whitman OF
New York. thus In the East clearing

An interesting -etter was put out by
the National Woman's Liberty Loan

Americans to be far better paid than

in Great Britain's forces he gets 36

Judging from reports that have been
received, there is whole lot of work
for the Red Cross to do in the Holy
Land, and all the neighboring regions.
Some sections of that territory have
been under Turkish military rule for
four years. and what happened to the
Christians in that time can be imag-
ined AS usual. the Red Cross is not
waiting for any grass to grow under
its feet. Things are humming in that
part of the world: hospitals are being
established and additional workers are
on their way. Probably large por
tion of the money collected in the com
ing Red Cross drive will he spent In
relieving these people who live in ''the

Events intervened to prevent Champ
Clark from realizing his great ambi-
ton. He wanted to be the one man
who was elected speaker of the house
of representatives for more than four
successive times. There have been
only three men who were elected
speaker for four successive times.
One was Stevenson of Virginia ana the
other two We're Cannon of Illinois and
Clark of Missouri. Henry Clay was
elected six times, but not successfully
and then serving only short periods.
