CONTEST DUE FOR
fLACE 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
nerce Plans Trade Extension.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-Th first real speak
ership contest since 1891 is likely to
follow the recent election. Ever since
the famous Crisp-Mills contest the
speakership has gone to some man
by practically unanimous consent.
With the Republicans returning 20
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 candi-
date. Gillett of Massachusetts, who
has been acting minority leader, Is
sure to be candidate. Then there are
j. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania,
Frank w. Mondell of Wyoming, Julius
Kahn of California, Nicholas Long
worth and Simeon d. Fess of Ohio, and
Joseph w. FOrdney of Michigan, all Of
whom may be in the race at least for a
little while. AS it is possible that the
Republicans will restore to the speaker
the power to appoint committees the
position may be much more valuable
than it has been during the past eight
years.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-12-03

Already there has been speculation
representatives and also in regard to
the chairmanshipS of the several com
mittees. The selection of a speaker
will have something to do with the
chairmanships. If Congressman Gil
lett of Massachusetts is elected speak
err 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, Haugen
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
tary affairs. Kahn of California naval
affairs, Butler of Pennsylvania post
offices. STEVENSON of Minnesota pub
lie lands, La Toilette Of Washington.
The men thus named are ranking Re-
publican members of these committees
Mt 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
| ly if the house elects the committees
and they are not appointed by the
speaker.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-12-03

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: APP
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
tngtOn; 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.

for the Red Cross TO do in the Holy

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

hadi won the fight. 1t is also fact
that suffrage or anti-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-suffragist. was de-
feated in Delaware. while Folk, SUI
fragist, was defeated in Missouri. 1t
is evident that the election was fought
on party lines, and such issues as

Quite number of American boys
who have had a more or less hazy idea
that kings were the worst class of peO-

view on that subject. King George of

The recent election rearranges.
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. It 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 a boost, and
eyes have been turned toward Cover
nor Cox of Ohio In fact, 1t might
happen that both candidates in 1920
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
the way for Colonel Roosevelt if he
should make the race.

made their living by hunting then
