notwithstanding that the capital had
been subscribed for a new mill to

mills to cost 100000, the project

price of labor or in the cost of
building operations for some years
to come, unless there should come
upon us an industrial depression
and a panic which would mean wide

not believe that this condition is
possible, for nothing but a revolu-

fear of Bolshevism or revolution.

1t was predicted by Democrats prior
to the Republican caucus, that the
p, Iays-Penrose-Lodge outfit would ride
roughshod over the "Progressives,"
and that was done. The only things
saved out of the wreck was the big
committee on committees, provided
for by a motion made by Mr.. Mann.
The GilIett people, led by Representa-
tive Winslow of Massachusetts,, pre-
scented a slate-a hand-picked on
mittee on comittees-but it was
broken by the Mann faction. MIR.
Winslow offered a resolution, emboGy-
ing his proposition, and called for the
previous question. For his pains ne
was roundly denounced for an effort
to gag the caucus. His committee
was packed against Mr.. Mann. The
worm turned and Mr.. Mann will
dominate the committee en- commit
tees against Mr.. Gillett.
That is the situation in the House.
The Democrats realize that the Old
Guard is in control. If Mr.. Gillett
,,uIes he is the representative Of the
1Penrose group; if Mr.. Mann is boss,
he is supported by Representative
Cannon.
