Representative Longworth said the rearrangement of steering committee membership would give full recogni- tion to all geographical reglons, and agricultural as well as all other in- terests of the country.

We would welx come such help now. The rules ob- tained in that fight have now become more or less antiquated, and after these years in which control of Con- gress has been steadily sought by spe- clal interests, a modification and lib- eralization is as necessary as it was then, “From Reed to Cannon; from Can- non to Clark; from Gillett to real rep- resentative government.
