Factions Stiu at Odds
Whether or not the Nonpartisan
house majority would hold together
on all matters presented was Ques-
tionable In view Of the vote In the
caucus Monday night which saw 6S
members Of the group taking part.
The vote there was - for Crockett
to ~ for Aljets.- The latter then vas
chosen by the house coalition group
as its candidate. He knew nothing
about this, he told fellow members
when the speakership vote had been
taken, and coalition leaders later
agreed privately that this was 20.
An apparent difficulty Of the house
majority was that Of disposing of the
LANCER influence. Some members
said that IN the preliminary discus
sions as well as In the caucus the
LANCER issue was not brought up and
they agreed to stick together as Nom
partisanS.
It was conceded In some quarters
that, in the event Of . showdown. the
anti LANCER Langerites would control
the situation. This group consists Of
men who want to remain with the
Nonpartisan organization but who
are opposed to the former governor.
