Washington, Dec-. 3 (A 5 )—-Both
branches of the sixty-eighth congress
met at noon today. In the house, the
Progressives made good their throat
to throw a monkey wrench in the ma¬
chinery of organization. On the first
ballot for the speakership, Giilet fail¬
ed of election, no candidate having
received the majority necessary to
election. The Democrats voted solid¬
ly for Congressman Garrett, of Ten¬
nessee, and the Progressives cast
their strength for Representative
Cooper of’Wisconsin. This, of course,
prevented ‘.he hou.su from organizing.
111 the senate, if was another story,
and that body succeeded in perfect¬
ing its organization and after a ses
sion of forty-live minutes, adjourned,
out of respect to the members of the
senate, who have died since the last
session.
