WAGSTAFF FORESTALLED
THE COMMITTEE IDEA,
To three men must be given
eredit or blame for the result.
First of all Wagstaff forestalled
tne proponents or the committee
on committees’ plan by introdu-
cing a resolution to adopt the old
rules unchanged, leaving the ap-
pointive power in the hands of
the speaker. This put the new
rule proponents at a disadvan-
tage from the start &nd forced
them to introduce their resolu-
tion as a substitute after Wag-
staff had made a convincing argu-
ment against such a plan. Then
McCaskill unwittingly played
into the hands of his opponents
in accepting from the floor two
amendments to the substitute
which a large number of the 64
signers of the resolution would
ndt support. And lastly, Bagby
of Lavaca cinched the defeat of
the proposition by making one of
the most eloquent speeches that
has been heard on the floor of the
bouse in a long time.
Bagby’s speech was not the
least of causes contributing to
the defeat of the committee on
committees idea, for it raised the
members of the house to a high
pitch of enthusiasm.
BAGBY CARIOUS AS TO
PERSONAL OF COMMITTEE
McCaskill then introduced his
substitute which provided for the
election;oCa committee on eominit-
teesj^pr.e house, this to appoint
all other) committees, including
standing and free conference. It
ivaS signed by 64 members, Mc-
Caskili called attention to' the fact
thal Speaker Words had made his
campaign jun this platform and
then he quoted the words of the
speaker iu his address of acknowl-
edgement. ‘ This is the beginning
of the end of-machine rule in Tex-
4s" he sa d th-* t the committ e on
committees plan was designed to
put the ivoids into effect.
“Who do you propose to have on
that committee?” questioned Bag-
bp of Lavaca, “We propose to
have the house, elect it," replied
McCaskill.
“Now* isn’t it a fact that the
program to put through a slate, to
be composed r i four "Williams men,
t,vo savage men, aid 11 Wo da
med?” * asked Bagby “I don't
know," said McCaskill.
“You mean to say that you don't
know th A?" Bagby fairly hurled
this question across the house.
“I am willing for the chair to ap-
point a nominating committee to
n>me it if you wish." said Mc-
Caskill. -
At this point Blalock asked Me
Caakill if. he would accept an
amendment to that effect. He
agreed to this and Blalock rmmedi
ately sent up an amendment cover-
ing (he point.

A Correction.
The Gazette was misinformed
last week in reporting the'1 vote
on the appointment of Constable
of Precinct No. the Shiner
Precinct. The -Information was
not received until we were ready
to go to press and came from
what we considered a reliable
source. We are npw informed
by Commissioner Wagener that
the vote was by a secret ballot
and that Strauss received 3 votes
and Kunetka 2. We gladly make
the correction. /
