STATE HAPPENINGS
TOLD IN BRIEF
THE HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK IN
TENNESSEE PREPARED FOR
OUR BUSY READERS.
GARRETT DEAN OF SOLONS.
AZ Result of 1. p. Paraett's Death;
Has Been Nominated for
Speaker.

WASHINGTON.--Being dean of
the Tennessee delegation In the ma
tional House of Representatives at
the time Of his death, the late Rep.
resentative Lemuel P. Padgett Of the
Seventh District, will be succeeded
by Representative Finis j. Garrett, of
the Ninth district, who was first
elected to the fifty-ninth congress.
Democrats here are elated over
the denomination of Mr.. Garrett, mi
nority leader, and generally dis
cussed as the probable speaker of
the House Of the Sixty-ninth Con.
gress in the event that the Republic
an party loses control.
II there Is contest for the speak
ership 1t will be between Mr.. Garrett
and ]. w. Garner OF Texas, ranking
Democratic member of the ways and
means committee, which Is also tho
committee on committee assign
ments, Representative Claude
Kitchin of North Carolina was chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee and minority leader at the same
time, but the chairman of that pow
erful committee need not necessarily
be leader of his party in the
House.
Kitchin was leader of the Demo.
cratic party in the House before he
was made chairman of the ways and
means committee. Whether Mr..
Garner will insist upon floor leader
ship going to the chairman OF the
ways and means committee Is ques.
tion. Thus far Mr.. Garrett Is most
discussed in connection with the
speakership in the event that the
Democrats organize the next House,
though he is not a member Of the
ways and means committee.

At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning ls- met Pasha will appear before the sub commission on minorities and make a further statement regarding Tur- keys counter proposals concerning the allied scheme for protecting the minorities in Turkish territory.
 While the conference is daily strain ed by Ismet Pasha's flat refusal to consider the allied plans for the ad ministration of the affairs of minori- ties in Turkey. there are many private conferences going on between the del egates and the indications are that some compromise plan may be work eS out whereby the Turks will be ac- corded such a large voice in the hand ling of the minorities' problems that they will not regard the cooperation of representatives of the great pow CTS in this work as an infringement of Turkeys sovereignty.
