More Trouble for the G. O. P.

james X. Mann, Republican floor
leader in the House of Representa-
t!vcs, has announced his candidacy
Tor speaker of the next house.
Mr. Mann announcement will
aod to the trouble which the party
already was facing in the organiza
ton OF the next Congress.
By the rule OF seniority. Boise
penrose of Pennsylvania will sue
coed to the Craftsmanship OF the fl
nance committee of the Senate.
Tha, will make him the leader OF the
Senate by virtue OF the position.
BY the same rule, of seniority,
Representative Fordney OF Michigan
expects to inherit the Craftsmanship
OF the ways and means committee of
the House. That would make Mr..
Fordney the floor leader in the
Lower House.
The Republican leaders who have
the vision of modern ideas already
were walking the floor with the bur
den OF Penrose and Fordney. With
Mann in the race for speakcr-there
is kettle of fish that calls for the
concern OF the entire party.
Mr.. Mann may follow the lead of
Penrose and Fordney and plead the
rule OF seniority. He came into the
leadership OF the House by virtue
OF having received, several years ago,
the party caucus nomination for
speaker 1t is hard TO understand by
what other rule he could hope to he
elected TO a position that woulG
make him one Of the most powerful
figures OF the party in the country.
Mann is parliamentarian. let
that fact be admitted. He is stand
patter. a Republican Bourbon OF the
old school. He was known as a
pacifist in the days just preceding
the war. and as such his leadership
was handicap to the party. Out
side of his being a parliamentarian.
he has Shown no qualifications NJ
leadership to entitle him to a prom
lhent place in the party or in the Ma
lion. and if the Republican party en-
poets to restore itself in the conf
ience OF the people it will do it by
wise leadership. and not by sharp |!
practice.
A few days ago Medill Mccormick
Just elected senator from Illinois as
progressive, said: The old regu

y thinks it will travel sixty miles an
lour with trailf crew consisting OF
'enrose for engineer. Mann for con-
