i RICHMOND MAY LOSE OLD PLAGE Douglas County Member Said a to Ha?e Struck Snag in ' Cities and Towns. HOWARD GETS WHAT WANT (Phmu a Utr CwwpoMMH.) Lincoln, Jn. 7. (Speti!.) When tlit legislature begin its work Tues day afternoon, it is understood that the committee on committee, of the two houses will hive the assignments in readiness to report. . . OA account of the usual harmony which prevails whenever a democratic delegation . it aent from Douglas cnumy, it it understood that Rich mond of that county will not get the chairmanship of the committee on cities and towns. It is understood that this may go to Schneider another Douglas county members, and it is possible that Richmond may not he on the committee. This is rumor, but it is probably authentic, as it has been shown several timet sine the mem bers arrived that there ia not at much brotherly feeling- between them as there might be. "i asked for nothing and t got everything I wanted," was a remark made by Representative Howard of Douglas this morning, so it can be considered that Jerry geta the chair manthip on labor. Naylor of Dawea will be the chair man of the committee on engrossed bills, without a question. He held this position at the last session and show ed himself at being the right man in the right place, so there ia not likely to be a change. It ia rather figures that T rumble may get the chairmanship of th com mittee on corporations and out of sympathy for Regan, who ia ill in a hospital in Omaha, he will f robably be given hit old place at chairman of the railroads committee. At indicated before there will be no opposition to f-riet at chairman of the claims com mittee and because of hit interest In irrigation, McAllister of Dakota may get the irrigation, water power and drainage committee. The chairman ship of th live stock and grating committee will probably go to Dan. It is said that the committee on committees hat made an effort not to put any member em more than two committee, especially if the commit tees are important.
