Howard on the ap propriations committee. . Mr. Srisp is already a member of the important ways and means com mittee and his name has figured more extensively in congressional matters, when it was'believed that there might be a new speaker of the House.'Char- lie Crisp, it was said by many, would fill tho bill, and something would done which has never been done bc- foro by this government—to have a father as a speaker of the House and afterward have a son fill the same place. ^ Now that Speaker Clark will where he is, there will be no chancQ for Mr. Crisp at this time, but he isT certain' to become speaker at some time in tho future as night fol lows days. Mr. Crisp has probably been called upon to act as'speaker pro tern, of the House more times since he has been in Congress than any other member past or present. This is due to his general popularity, his fairness, and his won derful knowledge of" parliamentary law. Before he became.a member of the rfousc, Mr. .Crisp was parliamen tary clerk, and thus paved the way to bigger things hereafter."
