PROGRESSIVES FIGHT

Norris Offers Measure to
Change Control Of Many
Big Committees.
ATTACK SENIORITY RULE

Dillingham; Face Contest
in Reorganization.
SpeciaI DssnatcA 10 THE suN.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The fight OF
the Progressive wing OF the Republican
party against the control and DONNA
ton Of tho next Senate by the stand
pat element was begun today by a reso-
luton introduced by Senator Norris
tNeb.). designed 70 prevent the chair
men OF the powerful Senate committees
from being members Of the other big
committees.
In brief. II is the opening gun OF the
Progressive fight against the seniority
rule" through the operation OF which
the old guard would have had complete
control and domination Of the next Sem
ate II the Republicans can maintain the
majority they now have through the
control OF the big committees, where
all important legislation is handled.
While adoption OF the Norris reso-
luton would change the rules OF the
Senate It would have no effect on the
present organization. as It is provided
that 1t shall not go into effect until next
Congress. Unless 1t is adopted Senator
Norris said an "interlocl<Ing directorate"
system will control the upper body.
The rule which Senator Norris would
add Is this:
After the lth OF March. 1919, any
Senator who is chairman Of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, Finance,
Foreign Relations. Interstate Com
merce, Judiciary. Military Affairs,
Naval Affairs or Post Offices and Post
Roads, while holding such chairman
ship shall not be n member OF any of
the other said committees
Not only in legislation originating in
or coming to the committees would the
"interlocking directorates" control.
Senator Norris said, but these few
Senator's being the ranking members of
the important committees. would always
be on conference committees and would
have still greater grip on legislation
In that way.
The seniority rule enables less than
a dozen Senators to control every con-
ference committee on practically every
important piece OF legislation" said
Mr.. Norris This proposed rule would
make such procedure impossible The
conference committee Is tho most power
full instrument in legislation and It is
the intent OF this rule to prevent such
committees from being controlled by
less than a dozen men"
Perusal of the Republican member
ship OF the big committees makes II
quickly apparent who the group of Sena-
tors are TO whose control Senator Norris
objects. Senators Warren. Lodge PEN
rose, Smoot and Dillingham; are all
ranking Republicans on at least two
OF the big committees and some Of them
on three COMMITTEES.
AS "A matter Of fact the same condi-
ton prevails among the Democrats and
prevails to n lesser extent IN the House
among both Democrats and Republicans.

MEET THURSDAY, JAN. 10
At Augusta House, to Decide on Date
and Place of Next Democratic State
Convention

a date and place for holding the
next Democratic State convention will
be decided at meeting of the Demo-
cratic state committee. which will be

requires that the convention shall be
held not less than 60 nor more than
80 days before the third Tuesday or

publican State convention will be held
at Bangor Thursday, Mar. %, and it
is expected that the Democrats will
select either the first or second week
in April as the time of holding. their
convention.

decide upon Augusta as the place or

State committee 10 act as the per-
manent chairman Of the convention.
Mr. McGillicuddy presided at the State
convention held in Augusta in 1910 and

tanned at Washington, his place being
taken by Ex-Attorney General William

F. Johnson of Waterville. formerly
United States Senator, was the per-
manent chairman at the State con-
vention held at Augusta in 1912 and
