Byrns, Speaker of the House of Representatives, takes from the nation one of its ablest law-makers and from the ranks of the Democratic party a bulwark of strength He succeeded Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, who died late in 1934, Power as speaker of the national house of rep- resentatives came to Joseph W. Byrns when the 74th | congress convened Janua 3, 1935, Back of him | was a full quarter century as from the “Hermitage district” of which saw him go through a dozen successtul politi- Tennessee, a tenure cal campaigns and which brought him cha of the house appropriations committee the democratic majority and head of the democratic congressional campaign committee. manship he was strategist and “Uncle Joe” to his constituents, politician, a masterful parliamentary a fair-minded chairman and presiding officer whose personal qualities won praise from political opponents Except for a case of illness, Byrns might not have reached the speakership. In 1930 he announced h: candidacy for a shrewd the democratic States senator and laid plans for a state-wide cam- paign. But after he had made one speech illness | forced his withdrawl from the race. Instead he sought, and won, renomination to the house. The “Hermitage district” which thus renewed its faith in Byrns, got this name from the fact that it contains the homestead of Andrew Jackson. Offici- ally it is the sixth Tennessee district, embracing five | counties with Nashville as the center, in the north central section of the state. It'was primarily Byrns’ territory and there were more people in it who called him *Joe” than there were who addressed him as “Mister Byrns.” Probably one reason was that Byrns had a repu- tation for making good on his campaign promises. The story is told that in his first campaign he prom- ised a crowd at Dover, in Stewart country, that he | would get an appropriation for a lock and dam on the river at that point. -Friends warned him he had promised the impossible, that had tailed to! put the project through the national house, but Byrns | reiterated his promise and in his first term maneu- | vered the appropriation through congre With a flair for “talking out” differemces opponents, coupled with his steadily others mounting seni- ority, Byrns' influence in the national house grew through the year. He gained a reputation of being a “watch dog of the treasury,” counted himself Hberal and, on occasions, followed his own convictions rather than the party program. But he was enough of a regular to put aside his personal pre(mecuons‘ as a “dry” and, in 1932, accept the democratic de- cision to work for repeal of the 18th amendment. In 1931 he was chairman of the special economy committee of the house and also served on the demo- | eratic joint policy committee of the house and senate. | He helped write the national budget law and once | sponsored a bill combining the ments into a department of defense, would save $100,000,000 yearly. war and navy depart- explaining it a member of the house | leadership of | nomination for United | % | caught red-handed “in with | a | Canadian Northwestern | —Lexington, Ky., The economic the waning months of the Hoover administration and its Tesultant back- lash in politics served to thrust Byrns further into the limelight as one of the “key men” in the recovery program of President Franklin Roosevelt. “I supported the President in all of his recovery as majority crash in igle exception and pianeuvering those bills on ithout a ure der, in cha the floor of the house,” he said pridefully at the close the congress. His loyalty to the White House hir upport the executive’s opposition to cash payment of the bonus to World War veterans and to warn the bi-partisan majority which voted for it that they were jeopardizing the whole recovery program Defeat of an attempted Republican filibuster in | the closing days of the busy 1934 session was regarded |by Byrns as one of his greatest single feats. The maneuver would have blocked action on several meas- | ‘ ire which the administration considered essential | Byrns' tactics in this emergency showed his talent |as a strategist. He quietly laid his plans with Demo- | cratic members of the rules committee and the Re- | publicans discovered the situation only after all ar- rangements for the Byrns coup had been perfected. so that Byrns, The plan was to amend the rule: as floor leader, could move for a recess instead of an | adjournment at the end of each legislative day. This would make the record show each succeeding day's I meeting as a continuation of the preceding day's | session, keeping the first day’s program before the house. Despite Republican pleas, this amendment went through. The Tennessean also was empowered to [ move for a suspension of all rules by a majority vote. “The Republicans called this dictatorial,” said | Byrns, “but it choked their filibuster to death and we | {got all our bills through the house.” While he was floor leader Byrns followed the | policy of having administration bills introduced by | the chairmen of the committee Wwhich considered them. Consequently his name appeared as sponsor |of only one of the Roosevelt relief measures, the bill setting up the civilian conservation corps. He offered { this one because the chairman of the labor committee chose not to introduce it.
