In Dccenbar 1911 Tba regular Re
pqbllcana any that tba Damoerata
committed a tactical ' blunder when
tbay allied thetnaelvea with tba Inaur

coma to ba known aa Cannonlam The
oldtlme regulara declare' that tha
Damoerata - overreached thetnaelvea
becauae they helped In tha effort to
put out ‘of exlatenea tba laaua which
tha minority party wtia depending up
on to help to elect Ita candidate for
the bouae of repreaentatjvea at the
next election
The Damoerata retort that they
made no tnlatake becauae they have
ahown tha country poeltlvely that
when they coma Into power they will
not countenance a rule committee
which will have the power to obatruct
leglalatlon which tha country la anx
loua to -have paaaed Tba leading
Democrata declare that tha evidence
haa been ao atrong of a revolt through
out tha country agalnat houaa pro-

put off their oppoaltlonr until the daya

ao atrong that even now there la dla-

: eucceed Mr Cannon In tha speaker-
hip Champ Clark la the leader of
tha minority and aa a matter of nat-
ural eourae It la to be auppoaed that
ba will ba choaen apeaker but never
theleaa there are other Democrata In
the bouae who have ambltlona and It
la perfectly true aa aome of the party
admit that there haa been aome op-
poaltlon to Mr Clark'a methoda of pr
oadura aa leader (
Among 'tha Democrata - who are

It aeema to be practically aaaured
however that If the Democrata do
ucceed In carrying the next houae
they will elect Champ Clark of Mia-
ourl aa the apeaker Not all tba
Democrata ara In favor of Mr Clark
No matter what opposition may be
ahown to tha Mlaaourl member's can-
didacy In tha caucus tha party ma-
jority will carry tha day and It seems
that almost undoubtedly Mr Clark
will be choaen to take the chief aeat
In tha next congress now occupied
by Mr Cannon— provided of eourae
that the hopes of the Democracy are
fulfilled and that victory - cornea to
them next November The Damoerata
In thalr high hopes not only ara talk-
ing about tha speakership succession
but actually ara looking at tha choice

termining what chairmanships ara to

Chance far Personal Bills
1 With ths enlarged rules - com-
mittee of tha house of repre-
sentatives which haa Just comp Into
legal being as result of tha revolt
of ths allisd Insurgents and Demo-
crats there may ho greater opportu-
nity offered for tha passage of what
re known as personal blljs In ths
ourss of congress there are Intro-
duced hundreds of measures In addi-
tion to passion bills and of those only
a small percentage ever reoalved the
support of a committee report let
alone being given the privilege of to-
tusl discussion In the house with a
view to passage
i It has boon the complaint In the
past that the men who were In a pm
sltlon of power either on the rules
committee or because of does person-
al and political aSliatlopa with ths
speaker wore the oocs who wars blv
to secure the uninterrupted passage
of measures which were of particular
Interest to their districts The nsa
Influential member who bad a t-'H

the exaction of tie houae author?-!:
for Its pamper The enlarged rules
coalites perhaps will be score as
elderate of the legislative dssiree of
the - leae Influential coagresamea
there art bound to be on the com-
mittee either la-the majority or the
minority representation a man or two
who becauae of aympathy with the
trials of the dulnfluentlal will endeav-
or to secure for them and their meas-
ures aucb recognition aa Is' possible
The rulee committee does not act on
many bills but the Influence of the
members always has been great -
- Now that the committee baa been
enlarged the Democrata probably will
exercise more Influence than they did Guthrie Oklay-The Oklahoma state
°®M waa smaller Ike- board 0f agriculture finds' from the
regular Republicans know that there
Is a likelihood al any time that the In
uuuuu any lima mu toe in-
aurgents and the Democrats may get'
together once more and defeat any
measure which the minority party and
the minority of the majority party
conalder aa being of a nature Intend
ed to cause a return of the old condi-
tions of bouae control At any time
a combination of the Insurgents and
Democrata can force the election of a
new rules committee by - Joining
forces passing a resolution to that
effect and compelling the election of
tba rules members In the open house
For iheae reasons the organisation Re-
publicans on the rules committee It la
believed unquestionably will pay the
greatel- heed to objections which may
be offered at the committee meetings
by the Democratic minority membership--
-
Kager to Become atatoe'
Arlsona and New Mexico may be
obliged to wait "until a more conven-
ient season” for the honors 1 of
atatebood The party In power haa
promised that the territorial form of
government soon ahall he a thing of
the past but the question which the
representatives of the two territories
who are anxloua Tor statehood would
like to have answered la Juat what la
meant by "soon”
The friends of atatebood In their
anxiety cannot see any other-reason
for the further exclusion of the terri-
tories from the union -egeept the one
political reason that the Republicans
do not want to add to the senate’s
Democratic membership Juat at the
present time The Republican lead
era who -while saying that they are
not opposed to statehood after proper
preparatlona for It can be made deny
that political considerations have any-
thing to' do with their unwillingness
to act quickly or aa they put It
hastily It la not altogether aaaured
however that If thd territories were
to be given statehood at once their
legislatures would elect four Demo-
cratic senators
Dealing with Mexican Clamant
There la a considerable element In
the population of Arlsona and New
Mexico which la of Mexican extrac-
tion Thousands -of these people have
kept their old Mexican ways and a
great many of them cannot apeak
English It haa been proposed to deny
suffrage to all men excepting those
capable of speaking English
The dealre of Republicans who are
not opposed to statehood even at the
present time la that if 'admission la
given to the territories they shall hold
their constitutional conventions and
their elections of atate officers at dif-
ferent tlmea It la held by the ad
vocatea of thla plan that In the scram-
ble for the offices the people might he
led to adopt constitutions Without
proper study of their conditions Thla
It la said would happen unless the
voting on the ratification of thd con-
stitutions and on the election for atate
officers were held at widely separated
tlmea
It la yet problematical whether or
not atatebood for the two territories
will come to a vote at the present ses-
sion of congress Even those who
are opposed to -admitting them Into
the United States say that the time la
not far distant when they must be ad-
mitted because neither party can af-
ford to Ignore the promise that It haa
made The Republicans It la claimed
If they continue In power cannot af-
ford to be heedleaa - for any great
length of time of the president's rec-
ommendation In favor of granting tha
rights of states to tha two southwast-
era territories
Defense of Railroad Bill-
Tha troubles In tha houaa of repre-
sentatives tba debate In tha senate
on the Interstate eommeroe bill and
other matters have rather shadowed
the Issue of statehood for the two ter-
ritories but within the shadow never-
theless there has been a half ob-
soured scene of aetlvlty It does not
seem probable that the demand of the
territories for a hew form of govern-
ment which will make them states of
the union will long be denied but If
the friendsot Immediate notion are to
be believed the Republicans are none
too anxious Just now to give the ter-
ritories admission booauso the ma-
orlty party does not wish Immediate-
t to add four Demoeratle senators to
1 he minority party's representation la
