THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY,. MARCH 31. 1919. GILLETT FORCES DISAPPOINTED BY OREGON SQL ONS Hawley Casts Three Oregon Votes for Mann Crowd in Fight : in Committee on Committees. MANN IS REAL HOUSE 'BOSS' Illinois Man and His Lieuten- ants jControl Through JUnoffi P rial but' Powerful Committee. "Washing-ton. D. CL, March . XI. (WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) -Oregon is one' of the states which disappointed the progressive and Insurgent element when the committee on committees, supposed to represent the 'Republican membership, began to deliver all the pie; to James R. Mann of Illinois, who had JusT been defeated L as a candidate for speaker. . -All three pt the Oregon members sup ported GUllett for speaker against Mann.' and the. 'Glllett forces naturally looked ,to Oregon. , to help - them prevent the humiliation of Gillett. The new speaker was completely trimmed, ' however. In the committee on committees, and he apparently received no help from Oregon. The committee on committees Is com posed of one member from each state with one. or more Republican members. but each member has voting; power In - proportion to the total Republican mem bership from his state. Thus Mr; Dunn of New Tork has 24 votes, and Mr, Hawley,' the Oregon ttember, has three, Blann It Real "Bosi" In this committer the .master hand of Mann "put over" what was wanted, because, with himself casting the vote for Illinois, Dunn casting the New Tork delegation, ; J, Hampton Moore voting the- Pennsylvania delegation, and . other lieutenants . assisting In ' other states, Mann did as he pleased. . Mondell of Wyoming was named as . floor, leader; 'and he la a supporter of Mann. - Mondell, with Moore of Penn sylvania. Dunn of New Tork, Madden of Illinois, , WInslow of Massachusetts and Long-worth of Ohio, make up the steering -committee, which Is to decide ; party policy and direct the course of : legislation. This steering committee la also labeled "Mann." - Representative Johnson of South Da Wota, protesting that the agricultural and labor Interests and the states west of the Mississippi should be represented on this unofficial but most Important of all committees, moved to add four mem . bers. "v - "'- This was voted down, 155 to 88, Mary--' land, ' Massachusetts. Ohio, West Vlr ' gin la and - South Dakota ; for It. This waa a test vote, and illustrates how well , the old crowd the Mann crowd Is en trenched In the committee on committees citadel.:. -K'-'vi I .Mn , Jqjjnaotl pointed out .that all the ber because he is floor leader, come from manufacturing centers,, a, xrom targe oittM t4 rrsrw-Y tr nAA An demon of Minnesota, who represents a : wheat district! and served on the Steering- com mittee in the last congress; Slemp of Virginia, as & recognition of the south; Treav r,t Kebrajika, as a Western "or o- greaslve, and Nolan of California, rep resenting labor and the Paclf lc slope. Mr. Johnson proposes to carry , the erv.t into th riunm. and hones -there to " overturn the work of the committee on committees by appealing to its creator. The Job does not look promising, but it will develop some interesting- resuns. - Thus, while Mr. Hawley - casts three votes for -Oregon in ' the committee, r one of" his colleagues. Representative Me Arthur, Is a strong insurgents and will support the 1xpgworth-Johnson r movement. -! How Representative Sinnott will vote has not been; disclosed. . Should he take the same view of the proceed- ings, the Oregon vote in caucus will be two to one against the -Mann program, and Hawley left as the sole supporter of his course in the committee on com mittees.
