A—6 *# THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1931 HHAPES SUGGESTED 48 HOUSE SPEAKER G. 0. P, “Campromise” Tick- et Is Proposed as Capitol ’Speculates on Choice. By thp Associated Press. With but three months until the new Congress convenes, speculation around the Chpitel has thrown new passibilities | into an already eomplicated line-up of | contenders for leadership in a House in which strength is closely divided be- tween the two parties. The latest suggestion is for a “com- promise” Republican ticket including ¥ Representative Mzpes, _conservative i Michigan member, with a lazge personal popularity, £ and K nta- tive Frear, Progressive, from Wisconsin, 8 for leader. ©On the theory that this team would promise to hoid Northwestern liberal elements in line while satisfying the 2 Fegulars, it was predicted today in some, § quarters that it mi $ established lead now almost evenly | } divided by the survivors of Nicholas 3 Longworth's_ famous _triumvirate of | + leadership—Representatives % Connecticut, floor leader, and Snell § New York, chiairman of the Rules Com- mittee The late Speaker Longworth's closest personal friend in the House, Minority Leader Garner of Texas, remains mean- while the only Democratic candidate for Speaker. For Democratic leager « Representatives Byrns of Tennessee, $ ranking minority member of the Ap- propriations Committee; McDuffie of Alabama, veteran whip’ of his party, and Crisp of Georgia have been sug- « gested. ¢ With eight House seats vacant and { the count standing two in favor of the | * Republicans, the belance of power | { might be tipped from day to day and organization may depend on the death | } and sick list when Congress assembles. | ! Another new name in the speaker- ¢ ship race is that of Representative Cooper of Ohlo, whose strong stand for | prohibition enforcement might become | i & campaign issue. | + Representatives Hoch of Kansas and | § Purnell of Indiana are mentioned re- | § peatedly as possibilities among those H who want to elect Western or Middle- { Western men to high places. Repre- ! sentative Michener of Michigan, Who | ¢ made a name for himself as a judicial | i investigator, has been suggested. It is *assumed that he and his colleague, Rep- i resentative Maps, will not oppos: each | i other. | i Should the doughty Representative Zappear on the Republican slate, there 3 would b: the spectacle of a candidate §for honor in a member who once paid #the price of his committee membership for party irregularity.
