REPUBLICAN INSURGENT MAKES
SPECIAL WAR ON STEER-
ING COMMITTEE.
By Universal Sendee
WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 30—Rep-
resentative Longworth of Ohio declared
today that Republicans all over the coun-
try are rallying to the support of the tight
- -, — j ,UB ai the suppc.v —
to free the next 11«>us - from the domiua-
try are rallying
to free the ne*»
tion of the reactionary element. Letters
and newspaper articles, he said, are com-
ing in from every State.
"It is highly significant," the insurgent
leader continued, "that at least ?•"» per
cent of these are written iu commeuuatiou
of the course pursued by some of us iu
criticism of the opposition to the pro-
gram of the Mann ntrolled and Mann
handled committee of committees and they
completely justify our determination to
carry our fight into the Republican cau-
cus."
Standing committers which sadly needed
strengthening were not strengthened. Mr.
Longworth charged, and chairmanships of
leading committees were awarded to men
who. "judged by tv- legislative records,
both iu peace and war and by their known
ability or lack of it. are not qualified for
such position in times like these."
While the caucus vote was more than
two to one against Ii«peresentative Mann
for Speaker, the Ohioan continued, -0 out
of 23 of the principal committee chair-
men, many other committee members, the
floor Jeadty and whip, and the majority
of the steering committee are ' under ob-
ligations or conceive themselves to be un-
der obligations to him."
The result, as seen by iir. Longworth,
Is that Mr. Mann is in a position to ex-
ercise a more potent influence over legis-
lation in the next House than if he had
been Speaker.
The chief complaint of the Republicans
fighting against the reactionary faction is
directed against tlie composition of the
steering committee. They charge that its
personnel is net representative of the coun-
try nor the spirit of the party.
The Mann-handled committee on commit-
tees, the country te being told, refused
labor a voice in the party's deliberations:
shut out liberal and progressive thought;
denied membership to the southeastern,
northwestern, middle western and Pacific
coast Stages, and made no provisions for
representation for the great agricultural
sections of the country.
"This particular committee." Mr. Long-
worth stated, "will be in a sense supreme
over not only the Speaker, but all the
standing committees of the House, be-
cause it will determine the legislative pro-
gram of the uext* Congress as far as the
House is concerned. It will be ailed up-
on to decide what policies are to be
pressed to the fore and what ; ushed to
the rear.
"It will have all the powers formerly
possessed by Speaker Cannon and his
predecessors of advancing or retarding
legislation.
"It goes without saying that such a
committee ought to be truly representative
