some delay in the organization

creaSingly clear that Congress
should be called in session at

If no time Is to be lost in getting
action on the moratorium.

q choice. Finally the honor
was divided, and there were
two Presidents pro tem-Bacon,
the Democrat, and Gallinger.
No Republican at the time was
particularly jubiIant over that
situation.
Made Little Hay Trying
To Punish Insurgents
Nor have the Republicans ever
made much hay by attempting
to punish the Progressive or in
surgent element in the matter
of committee assignments. For
years these were denied places
on the important committees
that deal with legislation that
may touch on privilege. And for
years the party bowed polite
ly to the domination Of the lit
tie oligarchy headed by the late
Senator Aldrich.
Finally this oligarchy lost all
sense of proportion and, through
its arrogance, invited its own
destruction. Senator DolliVer,
one Of the most brilliant mem.
berS of the Senate, one Of the
party's greatest orators, who,
though restive under what was
going on, remained a regular,
was entitled to a place on the
finance committee.
Aldrich Denied 4
Appointment
He wanted it. And bluntly
he was denied it by Aldrich,
and q man of quite ordinary
ability. without capacity to serve
the party before the people, was
given the place. The reason
was too apparent-and there
was the audacity, the arrogance
of power that sometimes defeats
itself.
Dolliver was known to have
an independent mind. 1t was
bad enough because he had a
mind. To have an independent
mind was intolerable. And be-
sides he had his doubts about
framing legislation against the
public interest. That made him
quite impossible.
He was framed"

The result was that they
brought out a candidate Of

She tells you that she's
never had a thought outside her

She says it proudly, almost
defiantly-as one boaSting Of

that she feels she should be
greatly honored and rewarded
for never having a thought

But. alas, she isn't being re-

grieved mouth, those tear
dimmed, angry eyes, tell the
