KELLER ON Dc.
| COMMITTEE
lnnesota Congressman Picked
For Expert knowledge on
Public Utility Questions.

Congressman Oscar Edward kel-
Ter, of Minnesota, experienced in
public utility affairs as former
commissioner of St. Paul. is slated
to become one of the new members
of the House District Committee.
EXPERT ON UTILITIES.
Realizing that the street railway
situation here is to become bone OF
contention in the next session of Con-
gress. the retiring chairman of the
District Committee, Carl e. Mapes, OF
Michigan, is anxious for the commit
tee TO beneft from the broad expert
ence OF Mr.. Keller in public utility
questions.
While no definite announcement
has been made, it is understood that
Mr.. Keller is marked for appointment
to the District Committee by House
leaders, chiefly for reason OF his prac-
tical knowledge of those questions
which Will be uppermost in dealing
with District legislation.
Congressman Keller Is said to be
anxious to serve on the District Com
mittee. and his general interest in
civic affairs will be beneficial as well
as stimulus.
He gained his first political ex-
perience as a member of the assembly
of the city of st. Paul in 1910 and
was reelected in 1912. When a COM
mission form of government was
kadopted in that city in 1914, Mr.. Keller
Twas elected a commissioner and was
appointed to the office of public utility
Commissioner. He was reelected
Commissioner in 1916 and 1918 and as
Digned to the same task of controlling
The public utility bodies of the city.
kDuring his terms of office he became
the arbiter in some of the most in
tricate public problems with which
st. Paul has been confronted.
OTHER CHANGES COMING.
When the late Congressman Carl
C. Van Dyke died Mr.. Keller ran for
election to the House as an Inde-
pendent. having failed to receive the
regular Republican nomination. He
won the race and was reelected last
November as the Republican candi-
date
Since the street railway merger is
to be one of the earliest knotty prob
lens coming up in the new session,
the appointment of man with Mr..
Keller's experience in such matters
10 keenly desired by Republican
leaders in the House. The final slate
OF the Republican Committee on COM
mittees probably Will not be made
public until April 4.
1t is understood that two other Re-
publican vacancies are likely to be
filled on the House District Commit
tee before then. Congressman Clark

gresham Frank Murphy of Ohio
