Outside of the 49 anti-Taylor representatives included in the present list, there are several legis- lators who are stil on the fence. In any event, Taylor's chances for re-election have been vitally punctured, in spite of the fake claims put forth in his behalf that jhe had some 65 to 70 of the legis- |lators pledged up and safely tucked away in his vest pocket. The Taylor supporters are today wondering what struck them, and some of those who reluctantly gave Taylor their promise of support, believing he had the speakership cinched, are muttering rebellion against him. Thomas J. Corkery, who will | probably be the next speaker of the | house, today declared be is in favor of the house electing its own co! mittees. Speaker Taylor's ar! trary appointments of the 1h house, especially the mebership the rules committee which blocked much beneficial legislation, are re sponsible for the fact that repub- licans as well as democrats and progressives have united against his re-election.
