EXPECT MANY
NEW LEADERS

Washington, Nov. 5.-Regardless o.
the election results Tuesday, there
will be new deal in legislative. af
fairs in the next congress-.
New hands to a large extent, ir
both senate and house will handle
the wheel if the Republicans win, and
of course there will be complete
turnover should the Democrats gain
control.
New officers and committee chair.
men in both senate and house for the
next congress already have been seri-
ously and widely discussed, privately
generally but publicly to some ex.
tent; while voluntary and involuntary
retirement of some present leaders
insures shake-up in management of
the Sixty-eighth congress. In addi-
ton there are prospects of increased
insurgency" largely confined now to
the senate. which if it is to make
substantial headway, according to
veteran politicians, must develop dur
ing gthe next congress or be too late
for the 1924 presidential compaign.
Principal changes in management
of the next congress naturally will
occur in the house, from which Rep
Resentative Mondell of Wyoming, Re-
publican leader, retires either to be-
come senator or return to private
life, while Representative Fordney of
Michigan, chairman of the powerful
ways and means committee, is not a
candidate for reelection. Represen-
tative Volstead of Minnesota, chair
man oe the judiciary committee, also
is up against strong opposition for
reelection.
In event of continued Republican
control of the house, Representatives
oLngworth of Ohio, Madden of Illi-
nois, Mann of Illinois and Burton of
Ohio are being mentioned as possible
candidates for the Republican floor
leadership. There also has been
some talk of bringing forth another
Republican candidate for speaker
against Representative Gillett of
Massachusetts, but sentiment gener-
ally is against the possibility of
change in the speakership on the part
ofatthe Republicans. Representative
Garrett Of Tennessee (Democrat), it
is generally believed, would be in
line for the speakership nomination
should the Democrats win the next
house, with Representative Garner OF
Texas and others being discussed for
floor leader.
Defeat of Representative Campbell
(Republican) of Kansas, chairman Of
the house rules committee, in the
primary also calls for a new chair
man for this powerful committee and
there also will be several vacancies
on the important appropriations com
mittee.
In the senate, while Vice President
Coolidge will continue "on the
throne" for the next two years al
least, new president pro tempore
a new whip and several chairmen OF
important committees are expected In
the next congress under continued
Republican rule and certainly if the
Democrats should regain control
Senator Cummins of Iowa, now pres.
ident pro tempore, according to his
friends, is expected to relinquish the
duties of presiding officer when the
new congress is reorganized. Sena.
tor Curtis of Kansas, Jones Of Wash.

tinued Republican majority. Senate,

is desirous of relinquishing the du

chairman of the finance committee
with Senator Smoot Of Utah in linz
as his successor, while Senator Pag,
of Vermont, chairman of the nava
affairs committee, is not a candidate
for reelection and senator Poindextel
