ELECTION Will
Bring CHANGES
REGARDLESS OF PARTY VICTORY
SHAKE-UP IN LEADERSHIP AT
WASHINGTON PROPHESIED.

| Washington CA. P.)-Regardless of
| the election results, there will be a
new deal in legislative affairs in the
| next Congress.
New hands, to a large extent, in
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
seriously and widely discussed, pri-
vately generally but publicly to some
extent; while voluntary and involun-
tary retirement of some present lea
ders insures shake-up in manage
ment of the sixty eighth congress. In
addition there are prospects of in
creased insurgency" largely confined
now to the senate, which If it is to
make substantial headway, according
to veteran politicians, must develop
during the next congress- or be too
late for the 1924 presidential cam
paign.
Many Changes in House.
Principal changes in management of
the next congress naturally will occur
in the house, from which Representa-
tive Mondell, Of Wyoming, republican
leader, retires either to become SEN
ator or return to private life, while
Representative Fordney, of Michigan,
chairman of the powerful ways and
committee, is not a candidate
for reelection. Representative Vol
stead, of Minnesota, chairman of the
judiciary committee, also is up against
strong opposition for reelection.
In event of continued republican
control of the house Representatives
of Ohio; Madden, of Him
ois; Mann, of Illinois; and Burton,
of Ohio, are being mentioned as pos
sible candidates for the republican
floor leadership. There also has been |
some talk of bringing forth another
republican candidate for speaker I
against Representative Gillett, of Mas
sachusetts, but sentiment generally /
now is against the possibility of
change in the speakership on the part
Of the republicans. Representative
Garrett, of Tennessee, democrat, it is
generally believed, would be in line
for the speakership nomination should
he democrats win the next house, with |
Representative Garner, of Texas, and
others being discussed for floor leader. |
Defeat of Representative Campbell
Kansas, chairman of the
house rules committee, in the primary
also calls for new chairman for this
powerful committee and there also
will be several vacancies on the i'm
)ortant appropriations committee.
Jones May be Presiding Officer.
In the senate, while Vice. President
Coolidge will continue ION the
,hrone" " for the next two years at
east, new president pro tempore,
| new whip and several chairmen of
committees are expected in
he next congress Under continued
'epublican rule and certainly if the
democrats should regain control.
senator Cummins, of Iowa, now presi
lent pro tempOre, according to his
riends, is expected to relinquish the
luties of presiding officer when the
lew congress is reOrganized. Sena-
Ors Curtis, of Kansas, Jones, of Wash
ngton, and others have been men,
ioned as successors in event of con-
inued republican majority. Senator
,urtiS also, according to his friends, s
5 desirouS of relinquishing the duties
f whip, with the prospects of a newer
enator securing this appointment. A
Urinary defeat retires Senator Nc
lumber, of North Dakota, chairman :
f the Finance Committee, with Sen
tor Smoot, of Utah, in line as his
uccessor, while Senator Page, of YER
1ont, chairman of the naval affairs {
is not a candidate for re- I
lection and Senator Poindexter, of q
if reelected November 7, I
tands first on the list for the COM i
littee Craftsmanship. f
There has been some discussion of
hanges in the senate floor leadership f
both parties in the next congress. t
9th leaders, Senator Lodge, of Mas n
achusetts, for the republicans and {
enator Underwood, of Alabama, for f
lie democrats, have had internal n
'oubles and lack of support, but the q
of a change were gener- h
