FESS NOW IN RACE
FOR HOUSE SPEAKER
Holds Strategic Position and May
Have Balance Of Power

Washington, Feb. 7.-Representa-
tive Simeon D. Tess (Ohio), chair
man of the republican congressional
campaign committee, last night an
nounced himself as a candidate for
speaker of the Sixty-Sixth Congress.
The announcement, which places a
third candidate in the field, with Mi
nority Leader James r. Mann and
Representative Frederick H. Gillett
(Mass), did not come as a surprise,
as DR.. Fess has been importuned per-
sistently for weeks by numerous
friends to announce himself. The
Ohio member. however, has held back
until it seemed obvious that Repre-
sentative Gillett could not obtain
enough votes to elect him on the first
ballot, thereby insuring DR.. Fess
balance OF power.
At the present time DR.. F'ess occu-
pies Il position of strategic import
ance in the spea kership, race. His
pledges of support come from indi-
Viduals in the delegations from TWEEN
ty-four of the thirty-f1ve states hav-
ing republican mem bers. These in
clude pledges from individual mem
bers in West Virginia, Tennessee,
MARYLAND Virginia, New Jersey, Del
aware, the Dakotas, Ohio and num-
Der of states i'll the northwest. They
do not include any pledges from New
York or Pennsylvania.
Friends Of the Ohio leader declare
he will enter the republican confer
ence on February q with between so
and so votes, and will be able to pre-
veru the election of either of the
other two contenders.
DR.. Tess spoke before the McKin-
Icy club in Hartford a short time ago.
