WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 22, 1924 NEW SPEAKER MUST TAKE GILLET’S JOB IN NEXT HOUSE After Six Years, He Relinquishes To Try For Seat In Senate BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA (Service Writer WASHINGTON. Oct. 22—A fine fight for the speakership in the next Congress is assured, whether Democrats or Republicans win. for a new gavel wielder must Ve found to preside over the ses sions of the sixty-ninth House. Speaker Gillett, after six years in the chair, surrendered the chance at another term in that office to pursue the Massachusetts senator ship now held by David Ignatius Walsh of Fitchburg. Whether he will win it is still in doubt, as Walsh is a popular and persuasive campaigner. But win or lose for the Senate, Gillett will be out of the speaker's chair after March 4 next, and the line of possible and would-be suc cessors already is beginning to form on the right. ♦ * * The scrap for speakership is cer tain to be complicated by the man euvers and manifestoes of indepen dents who will come to the new Con gross, for most part, in the guise of Republicans. Led by Cooper and Frear and Nelson of Wisconsin, this insur gent wing of the G. O. P. is likely to wield even a more deciding in fluence in the next Congress than in the present one. It was this group which forced a revision of House rules last year, providing a method for getting pigeonholed measures out of com mittee and before the House. Ind : - cations are insurgent membership will be increased rather than de creased in the new Congress, whic* will only mean a mor? ef fective “balance of power” in the hands of this group. And the first chance to exercise this power, the first test to reveal the real strength of insurgent ele ment sin the new Congress, will come on the vote for election of speaker. Heading the list of Republican aspirants for this honor comes Nick Longworth of Ohio, the stock, bald- |g y Buick curtains open and >S r close with the doors on all \ models They arc snug fitting and keep out wind and rain ~ Any childcan operate them. teA W.

Americus Hatchery & Supply Co. * I 7 .' ■ Prof. Wooster —Bob Edwards Lamar St., Americus, Ga. headed son-in-law of Roosevelt, a trit’d and true Republican “regulai *’ Just how regular a partv man Nick is may be judged from the fact that he wouldn’t even follow his famous father-in-law into the Bull Moose party in 1912. For the past four years he has been the G. 0. P. floor leader and is now ready for promotion to the speak ership. Crowding Longworth for favor as G. O. P. choice for speaker is Martin B. Madden of ’Chicago. Both are completing their twen tieth year in Congress, Madden having served 10 consecutive terms. Longworth 10 terms not consecutive. * * • Gillett’s withdrawal leaves Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin the old est member of the House in point of service. Cooper is just complet ting his thirtieth year. Cooper will be the choice of the insurgent Republicans for speaker. By reason of his seniority in ser vice, hi» personal popularity, his recognized fairness and square ness, his friends believe he will draw the votes of many Republicans outside of the so-called- House pro gressive group. Should the progressive vote re tain its balance of power, as seems probable, with neither Re publican regulars or Democrats able to muster a majority for their candidates, a / Democratic-Insur gent coalition to put Cooper across as speaker is not impossible. It was just such a combination that forced the revision of House rules at the last session, agonist the Longworth-Gillett Republican opposition. * * * First place in the line of possible Democratic selections for speaker is accorded Finis J. Garrett of Ten nessee. Like Longworth and Madden, he, too, has served 10 terms and has fought his way to a position of un disputed leadership in Democratic legislative ranks. PLANT ESSEX RAPE FOR HOG RAISING With the high price of feed it is important that the farmers plant’ some forage crops for their hogs to graze this winter, says A. L. Durant Extension Livestock Specialist, who adds, that by doing this they will reduce materially the amount of high-priced grain to be fed. Dwarf Essex rape is probably the best winter-grazing crop for hogs. This crop makes a quick growth and Murdered Ipwß Mary Fleming, 23-year-old Grand Rapids (Mich.) school teacher, was murdered, police believe, by a re jected suitor. Her body was found in a shed in the rear of the school at which she taugnt. An ax lay near by. A young man she former ly went with is being sought. supplies an abundance of grazing in a short time. To get the best re sults rape should be planted on rich land. Land that make s good turnips will make good rape. Rape may be either sown, broadcast or planted in rows about 30 inches apart, but it is usually best to plant in rows and cultivate a few times. About 10 pounds of seed will be re quired when sown broadcast, and about 5 pounds when planted in drills. Rape seed are small and should be covered shallow. By utili zing this forage crop the farmer will be able to reduce the cost of pro ducing hogs. QUIET OMIT GEORGE !N SCOTLAND British Monarch Will Enjoy As solute Rest During Coming Visit at Balmoral ABERDEEN, Scotland, Oct. 22. —Looking after the welfare of the British monarch when he makes his annual visit to Balmoral, his Scot tish Highland seat, is the annual ef fciency test of the constabulary of the country. The officers are proud cf a record which shows that rot once during the present reign has the king been annoyed in the royal grounds. The constabulary are preparing for the visit of the king at the end of the month. A large force has been despatched to the castle and are keeping an eye out for any signs of coming disturbances or demonstrations which might inter fere with the rest the royal family allow themselves at Balmoral. Dur ing the reigns of Victoria and Ed ward VII a few disturbances were created on the castle grounds by cranks, but since then the constab ulary have had the upper hand. American visitors are als? a source of annoyance to the guard about the castle, and it requires much diligence to keep these unin vited guests from intruding on tlie grounds in hopes of getting a peep at the king and queen in their High land retreat.
