caucus to this jnopositlou, Is also ex-
pected to start a fresh move in that
direction as soon as the opportunity
offers in December. He was not at
all discouraged when his former at-
tempt to commit the democratic cau-
cus to this policy was sidetracked last
spring. He began a systematic can-
vass of th> democratic side seeking
Buppovt for the refovm anfl claimed to
have secured 'about forty commit-
ments among his democratic col-
leagues before the Besslon ended. As
Mr. Sims 1b a pugnacious and tena-
cious statesman, lt may be expected
he will continue his program and
this winter the members of the mi-
nority will be constrained to show
hrw they stand on the question of
practically taking from the speaker
his last remnant of power before they
are transformed Into the majority and
themselves become responsible for
the conduct of the House, as they are
destined to do when the Sixty-second
Congress meets in December of 1911.
Mujr Cause Embarrassment.
It will be an embarrassing situa-
tion for the present leaders of the
House democrats.
Champ Clark, who in all probabili-
ty will be the next speaker, was
counted as Uvorlng the change dur-
ing the last session.
Representative Fitzgerald of Brook-
lyn, who Is expected-to contest with
Mr. Clark for speakership honors
next year, Btood against the proposi-
tion to strip the speaker of the com-
mittee appointing power, but while
Champ Clark may favor the change.
It is thought not Improbable he will
oppose the attempt to have it brought
pbout this winter by the aid of the
republican votes. It is thought pro-
bable he will take the position that ln
view of the fact th t the democrats
will be held responsible for the con-
duct of the next HouBe and for the
enactment of legislation by that body,
no further drastic changes In the
rules should be made until the demo-
crats take charge of the House, when
the Sixty-second congress assembles.
He may object to a republican House
attempting to make rules for a dem-
ocratic House, Insisting that the many
new democrats who will take tbelr
places ln Congres for the first time
should have a share ln deciding on so
Important a matter as this proposed
change ln the rules, which will revo-
lutionize the practice of the House
with regard to the method of ap-
pointing committees.
Of cousre, If the followers of
Speaker Cannon unite with the Insur-
gent republicans at the coming ses-
sion for the purpose of making tho
proposed change in the rules, they
will be able to put the proposition
through. But lt Is not believed the
Gannon followers will join with the
insurgents to effect this change In I
the rules, even If by such an aban-1
donment of their former position they |
felt they could put the democrats In
a hole.
