In December. 1911. The regular lie
publicans say that the neniocrats
committed a tactical blunder when
tiioy nllled theinsflveu with the insur- !
Konts In tlio droit to tlefeat wliat had
conio to be lenown as Cnunnniaiu. The
old-tlnio roRiihirs declaie that tho
Democrats nvcrrenchetl thuniseives
becatiso they liolpetl in the ellort to
put out of existence the Issue which
tho minority party wan dependliiK up
on to help to elect Its canillilnlo for
the house of repiesentatlves ut the
next election.
Tho Democrats retoit that tiioy
made no nilstnlte, because they have
shown tho country positively that
when they conio Into power they will
not countenance a rules committee
which will have the power to obstruct
legislation which tho country Is anx
ious to have passed. Tho lending
Doniocrats declare that tlio evidence
lias ben so strong of a revolt through
out tho country against house pro
cedure, as it has been the rule recent
ly, timt they will gain Just as many
votes by taking tho Held early against
Cannonlsin as tiioy would If they had
put off their opposition until tho days
of actual campaigning before the peo
ple. Democrats Are Confident.
In the ranks of the Democracy In
tho house, however, the feeling that
victory Is to come next November is
so strong that oven now there Is dis
cussion nn to what Democrat shall
succeed Mr. Cannon in tlio speaker
ship. Champ Clnrk is the leader or
tho minority, and as a matter of nat
ural course it is to bo supposed that
ho will bo chosen speaker, but never
theless, there aro other Democrats In
tho house who have ambitions, and it
is perfectly true, as somo of tho party
admit, that there has boon somo op
position to Mr. Clark's methods of pro
cedure as loader.
Among tho Democrats who are
known to hnvo at least latent speaker
ship ambitions are OIlio M. James of
Marlon, Kentucky, who hns been in
tho servlco of the house for seven
years; Swnger Shirley of the same
state, whoso term or service has boon
coincident with that of Mr. James;
Oscar M. Underwood of Birmingham,
Alabama, who has been a member of
congress for 15 years, and John Jo
soph Fitzgerald of Urooklyn. Now
York who ha3 been a house member
for 11 years.
Clark in the Lead.
It scorns to bo practically assured,
however, that if tho Democrats do
succeed in enrrying the next house,
thoy will elect Champ Clark or Mis
souri as tlio speaker. Not all tho
Democrats nro In favor of Mr. Clnrk.
No mattor what opposition may bo
shown to tlio Mlsnourl member's enn
dldacy in tlio caucus, tlio party ma
jority will carry the day and it seems
that almost undoubtedly Mr. Clark
will be chosen to tako the chief seat
In tho next congress now occupied
by Mr. Cannon provided, of course,
that tho hopes of tlio Democracy aro
fulfilled and that victory comes to
them next November. Tlio Democrats
in their high hopes not only aro talk
ing about the speakership succession,
but actually are looking at tho cholco
committee places with 11 view to 'de
termining what chairmanships aro to
fall to the, lot of tho men who stood
by Leader Clark through the tumult
and the fighting.
Chance for Personal Bills.
With tho enlarged rulos com
mittee of tho house of repre
sentatives which lias just como Into
legal being us a result of tho revolt
of tho allied insurgents and Demo
crats there may bu greater opportu
nity offered for tho passngo of what
aro knowu as personal bills, hj tho
courso of a congress theio aro Intro
duced hundreds of measures, in addi
tion to pension bills, and of these only
n small pcrcentago ever received the
support of a commlttoo report, let
alone being given tho privilege of ac
tual discussion In tho houso with n
view to passngo.
It has been tho complaint In the
past that tho men who were in a po
sition of power either on tho rules
committee or because of closo person
al and political nilillntions with the
speaker, wero tlio ones who were able
to securo tho uninterrupted passage
or measures which wero or particular
interest to their districts Tlio non
influential member who had a bill
which his constituents wero demand
ing had dllllculty at times in securing
tho sanction or tho liouso authorities
for its passago. The enlarged rules
committee porliaps will bo moro con
siderate or tho legislative desires of
tho less influential congressmen.
Thoro are bound to bo on tho com
naittoo, cither in tho majority or tho
minority representation, a man or two
who becatiso of sympathy with the
trials of the uuliitluentinl will endeav
or to secure for theni and their meas
ures such ii'cognltlon an is possible.
The rules toinmliti'e docs not act on
many bills but the Inlluetice of thf
members always has been great.
Now that the couiinlttco has been
enlarged the Doimiciats probably will
cxeiclse nioie Inllucnce than they did
when the cotniiilttee was smaller. Tho
regular ItcpublicaiiH know Unit there
Is a likelihood at any time that the In
surgents ami the Democrats may get
together once more and defeat tiny
meiisuie which the minority party and
the minority of the majority party
cotiblder as being of a nature Intend
ed to ciiiiM- n teturn of tho old condi
tions of lintu-c control At any tliuo
a combination of the Insurgents nnd
Deinocntls can foice (he election of a
new rules coinniltlee by Joining
forces, passing a lesolutlon to that
effect nnd compelling the election of
the 1 tiles nietnlicis lu the open house.
For these leasons the organization Ito
publicans on the rules committee, it Is
believed, uutmcslloiuilily will pay the
greater heed to objections which may
be offeted at the ciitntnitte meeting
by the Dcuioctatie minority member
ship. Future Conflicts Unlikely.
Iioth the legular and Insurgent He
public tun M'em to realize that If there
Is to be any further sharp lighting In
the ranks or the Republican party tho
time of the coiillicl 11I1011I1I bu post
poned The members or both factions
in tlie Republican party wiint to be ie
elected to cougicsH and each side real
izes uppnreiilly that the great hope of
the icturn of a majority of Republi
cans lies in concord Tor tho rest or the
session and In the passage of admin
istration measures, s.11 that tho pres
ent majority party can go before the
countiy with at least a semblance or
harmony. The desire of the Insur
gents nnd legulars seems to bo that
they may bo able to say to the people
that while they had their troubles
they finally got together and passed
progrissUe Republican measures and
kept the party faith as outlined In tho
planks or the national platform adopt
ed nt the convention in Chicago two
yean, uro next June.
The Democrats do not bellovo thnt
the Republicans can keep in n harmo
nious state even for the rest of tho
session.
Eager to Become States.
Arizona and Now Mexico may bo
obliged to wnll 'until a moro conven
ient season" for the honors of
statehood. The party in power has
promised that the territorial form or
government soon shall be a thing ot
the past, but the question which the
representatives of the two teirltories
who aie anxious for statehood would
like to have answered Is Just what is
meant by "soon "
The friends of statehood, in their
anxiety, cannot see any other reason
for the further exclusion of the terri
tories from the union except tho one
political reason that tho Republicans
do not want to add to the senate's
Democratic membership just nt tho
present time. Tho Republican lead
era who. whlio saying that they aro
not opposed to statehood after proper
preparations lor It can be made, deny
thut political considerations have any
thing to do with their unwillingness
to act quickly or. as they put it,
hastily. It Is not altogether assured,
however, that If tho territories wero
to be given stntehood at onco their
legislatures would elect four Demo
cratic senators.
Dealing with Mexican Element.
There Is a considerable element In
the population or Arizona nnd New
Mexico which Is or Mexican extrac
tion. Thousands or these people-hnvo
kept their old Mexican wnys and a
great many of them cannot speak
English. It hns been proposed to deny
suffrage to all men excepting those
capable of speaking English.
Tho desire of Republicans who nro
not opposed to stntohood oven nt tho
present tlmo Is that If admission Is
given to the territories they shall hold
their constitutional conventions nnd
their elections of stato officers at dif
ferent times. It Is held by tho ad
vocates or this plan that In tho scram
ble ror the olllces tho people might bo
led to adopt constitutions without
proper study of their conditions. This,
it Is said, would happen unless the
voting on the ratification of tlio con
stitutions nnd on the election for stnto
officers wero held at widely separated
times
It Is yet problematical whether or
not stntehood for the two territories
will come to a vote at tho present ses
sion or congress. Kvon thoso who
aro opposed to admitting them into
the I'nltcd States say that tho tlmo is
not fur dlstnnt whon thoy must bo ad
mitted, because neither' party can nf
ford to Ignoro tho promise that It has
mode. Tho Republicans, it Is claimed,
if they continue in power, cannot ar.
ford to bo IieedlOdB for any great
length of time of the president's rec
ommendation in fnvar or granting tlio
rights of states to the two southwest
ern territories.
"Defense of Railroad BUI.
Tho troubles in the liouso of repre
sentatives, tlio dobato In tho senato
on the Interstate commeico bill, and
other mntters, have rather shadowed
tho Issue or statehood for tho two ter
ritories, but within tho shadow never
thelites there him been a half ob
scurcd(Fceivj of activity. It does not
seem probable that the. demund of tlio
territories for n now form or govern
ment which will mnko them states or
tho union will long ho denied, but if
tho friends or Immediate action nro to
bij believed the Republicans nro nono
too nnxlous Just now to glvo tho ter
ritories nd mission bucauso tho ma
jority party does not wish Immediate
ly to add four Democratic eonntors to
tho minority party's representation In
the upper Iioubo.

line or business that i. fully war
ranted by every condition. Tho crops
of tho past year wero what wan ex
pected, and the prices for gt.ilu of nil
kinds, put the lurmors In a clans by
themselves. Many of them are Inde
pendent, nnd many otlien have got
well started on tho road. The latest
reports aie that seeding Is well under
way in almost every district, anil Mm
prospects are that a vastly l.-rger area
than that under crop last year will
bo seeded early this npring. In tho

prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night nml day. As sunn nn
it becomes dark, gangs aro changed,
u head light attached, and on, on,
through the night until tho first,
streak of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of'
breaking plows, keep up tho work.'
