BY WILL p. KENNEDY.
T\ALK of breach in Democratic
House ranks over organization
was discredited by party leaders
Il last night, who declared there
would be friendly contest over
recognition"
This was taken to mean the Northern
Democrats will insist that the North,
East and West get consideration of some
sort, and that all the advantages of
control do not go to Southern members
under the old seniority rule, which
promises them the chairmanships of at
least 80 of the 46 committees. This will
all be a matter of compromise" with
Southern leaders already counseling
that the floor leadership should go to
the North. East or West.
While there are about eight members
mentioned as candidates for floor leader.
the contest will narrow down to two or
three from the North. There is mention
of no one else but Representative Garner
of Texas for Speaker, if the Democrats
continue to hold control. Among those
suggested for party floor leader. how
ever, are:
Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, veteran
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee; John ]. O'Connor of New York,
member of the Rules Committee, said
to be the Tammany candidate: Will
