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-

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

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.
RUSSELL SPEER HOME
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Sparks from a defective flue set
fire to the home of Russell Speer
on Jackson street about 12 o’clock
today. The fire started on the roof
of the dwelling' and aided by a high
wind, spread rapidly. Quick work
by the fire department kept the
flames from reaches adjoining
houses.
The fire destroyed the entire
roof of the house, and the walls
of the house were so badly dam
aged by fire and water that they
will have to be replaced. The
damaged caused by the fire is
estimated to be around SBOO.

The prison will be used to housa
the scores of booze runners, other
types of smugglers, and aliens now
being arrested in Clinton, Essex,
Franklin ana St. Lawrence counties
and confined in the country jails
until their cases are disposed of.
The government is being practic'd
ly forced to build a prison or deten
tion house on the border because
the sheriffs of the counties where
the bulk of the arrests are being
made have notified federal officials
they cannot care for the scores of
prisoners sent them, the county jails
being full to overflowing.
Recently the situation has bewme
much wcres owing to the great num
ber of aliens being seized in the
border counties. In tha courts it
has been disclosed that scores ive
been brough across the border by
liquor runners and others, who dr >p
their charges as soon as the bor- <.
is passed.
