he declared so that the election
can be as expeditiously as pos-
sible should the contingency
arise.
In explaining why he picked
too speaker who now b Sam
Rayburn of Texas over the presi-
dent pro tempore of the senate
now Sen. Kenneth D. McKelter
of Tennessee for first in line of
succession Mr. Truman said the
speaker b not only elected in hb
own district but alao b elected
to preside over the house by a
vote of all the representative of
all the people.
As a result he mid I believe
that the speaker b the official In
the federal government whose
selection next to that of the presi-
dent and vice president can be
most accurately said to stem from
the people themselves.
Mr. Truman recalled that under
the law of 1793 too president pro
tempore followed too vice presi-
dent in the order of succession
But he pointed out that white thb
officer b elected u a senator by
hb state and then u presiding
officer by the senate members
of the senate are not u closely
tied in by the elected process to
to people u are house members.
He said new bonse b elected
every two yean and always at
the Mine time as the president
and vice presidenL Aba he
added the bouse fa nsnally in
agreement politically with the
chief exeentiva
Only one-third of the senate
however is elected with the presi-
dent and vice presidenL he said.
The senate might therefore have
a majority hostile to the policies
of toe presidenL and might con-
ceivably fill the presidential of-
fice with one not in sympathy
with the will of the majority of
the people." '
