Progressives to
Support Cooper
Against Gillett/

Washington, Nov. 24LThe progress
sive bloc among Republicans in the
House today reiterated their intention
of supporting Representative Cooper Of
Wisconsin for speaker in opposition to
Rep. Giilett of Massachusetts, while
every indication was given that Repre-
sentatives Longworth of Ohio and
Graham of Illinois would go into the
Republican conference next Saturday
as candidates for leader.
During the coming week the pro-
greSsives. who claim control of about
20 votes. expect to hold conferences to
draft their demands in definite Ian
guagc. They have announced their in
tention of seeking to block the re-
election of Mr.. Gillett unless they are
given recognition in committee assign
mcnts sufficient in their opinion to in
sure consideration of their. legislative
proposals. and arc assured that the
rules of the House will be "liberalized."
Thus far the group. which is made
up mainly of Wisconsin representa-
tivcs. has interested itself only in the
speakership as a means of obtaining
concessions and has taken no stand,
as a unit, in the leadership fight.
On the other hand. the supporters
of MIR. Graham are devoting themselves
solely to the advancement of his cam
didacy. Many of them have announced
their intention of voting for Mr.. Gil
lett for speaker.
Representative Hoch of Kansas. one
of those managing the Graham cam
paign. attacked Mr.. Longworth today

that both Mr.. Giilett and Mr.. Long
