ROW LODWS OVER HEIR 10 GILETT Independents Will Gortrol De- cision on House Speakership By Harry B, Hunt NEA Service Writer Washington, Oct, 21, — A fine fight for the speakership in the next Congress is assured, whether Democrats or Republicans win. For a new gavel ' wielder must be found to preside over the ses. soins of the sixty-ninth House, Speaker Gillett, after six years in the chair, surrendered the chance at another term in that office to pursue the Massachusetts senator- ship now held by David Ignatius Walsh of Titchburg. « Whether he will win it is still in doubt, as Walsh is a popular and persuasive campaigner, But win or lose for the Senate, Gillett will' be out of the speaker's chair after March 4 next, and th line of possible and would-be suc- cessors already is heginning to form on the right. The scrap for speakership is cer- tain to be complicated by the man- cuvers and manifestoes of indepen- dents who will come to the new Con- gress, for the most part, in the guise of Republicans. Led by Cooper and Frear and Nelson of Wisconsin, this insurgent wing of the G. O. P. is likely wield even a more degiding influence in the next Congress than in the present one. £ It was this group which forced a revision of House rules last year, providing a method for getting pigeonholed measures out of com- mittee and before the House, Indi- cations are insurgent will be increased rather than de- creased in the new Congress, which will only mean a more efective “balance of power” {n the hands of this group. And the first chance to exer this power, the first test to reveal the real strength of insurgent ele- ments in the new Congr will come on the vote for election of speaker, Heading the list of Republican aspirants for this honor comes Nick Longworth of Ohio, bald-headed son-in-law of Ro velt, a tried and true Republ “regular.” Just how regular a party man Nick is may be judged from the fact that he wouldn't even follow his famous father-in-law into the Bull Moose party in 1912. For the past four years he has been the G. 0. P. floor leader and is now ready for promotion to the speak- ership. Crowding Longworth for favor as G. O. P. choice for speaker is Martin B. Madden of Chicago. Both are completing their twens ticth year in Congre Madden having scrved 10 consecutive terms. Longworth 10 terms not consecu- tive. an Gillett’s withdrawal leaves Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin the oldest member of the House in pgint of service. Cooper Is jusst com{Ht- ing his thirtieth year, Cooper will be the choice of the insurgent Republicans for speaker.
