Seniority Rule
Is Shattered
in 11. S. Senate
Hast Views With Alarm Ap
parent Friendship of Mid
west to Progressives—
May Be Pivotal States.
By P. C. POWELL,
Washington Correspondent. The Omaha Bee.
Washington, Dec. 56.—When the
election of Senator Ilobert M. La
Follette to the chairmanship of
the interstate commerce committee
proved impossible, and when other
candidates entered the race which is
still caysing a deadlock in senate
organization, a precedent as sacred to
1 he United States senate as knee
breeches are to the court of St. James
was broken.
In other words, seniority in service
can never again be held out as an
unwritten law in selection of commit
toe chairmanships. At the present
session, there is no danger of the
seniority rule being upset excepting
in this one instance, as all other
chairmanships had been confirmed
under the seniority rule before the
fight over the interstate commerce
committee opened. I^i Follette "as
the senior member oC the interstate
commerce committee.
While in the future it is looked
upon as probable that in most in
stances the sonority rule will be fol
lowed, there is a loophole resulting
from the La Follette incident which
will permit a fight on a chairmanship
if any group in the senate desires to
wage such a fight. In short, there
is a newer precedent now which can
be held out as a reason for breaking
the time honored precedent of senior
ity.
Deports are current here that the
president is using his influence in an
attempt to select a compromise can
didate for the chairmanship, in many
quarters, it is asserted that if La
Folietlee hadn't announced publicly
that the Couzens candidacy for the
position was entirely satisfactory
with him .that the old lime repub
licans would have accepted Couzens
as chairman.
However, with I,a Follette openly
hacking Couzens as chairman, it mado
his acceptance by the old line repub
licans very embarrassing for the con
servative east which is presumed to
lie "dead set” against La Follette’s
ideas. Whether the president will be
able to strike a compromise with
both factions during the Christmas re
cess is problematical.
The sudden swing of Johnson and
Capper to Couzens the last two days

NEW GERMAN OIL FORMULA

Local Druggists Give Written Guarantee
to Refund Money If First Application

are carried by the blood to the muscles
and joints—and the new German oil is
designed to neutralize these pain-causing
poisons.
So amazing have been the results from
this German discovery that American dis
tributors have authorized local druggists
to offer it under a positive written guar
antee. signed by the druggist himself, to
refund the purchase price. if even the

gratifying relief.

Pearlies Stern, Virginia Bell and Julia Myer (left to right), three of the

ently caused considerable alarm. The
Johnson vote was disturbing in that it
threw him in line with popular mid
dlewestern senators voting for
Couzens. The Capper wote was signi
ficant in that Capper is credited with
being the best feeler of middlewest
sentiment in congress, and the Cap

politicians to mean that the Couzens
