No man from the southeastern territory will be ap pointed to either of the present vacan cies on the Interstate Commerce com mission. This was learned on good au thority here today and It eliminate for - the time being 4 such available candl- datea as A. 3. Maxwell, of . Raleigh; Edgar Watklns: of Atlanta: Charles Colterlll, of the same nlty, and Com missioner Mangum, of Richmond. President Harding Intsnds to fill the two vacancies on ths commission neict : week. It is understood he will appoint men from the middle west and far west and the south will not.be recognised until there comes another vacancy on the rate-making body. . The President, It Is said, has In mind two Republicans for the oommisslott and holds that aa at present consti tuted the Republican party is entitled to the next two appointments. How ever, there Is a re-assuring feature In the aituatlon so far -as the south is concsrnsd. Mr. Harding Is reported to . have recently Informed southern mem- .' bsrs of Congress that when ths rext vacancy occurs on ths commission It will go to their section. Various states of the southeastern territory from Maryland to Louisiana, have put forward recently eandldates tor one of the places on the commis sion. It was contended that a man familiar with the freight rate prob lems of the great , southern , section should be put on the oommielson. Since Judge Judson C. Clements, of Georgia, left the commission several years' ago the nearest approach to southern rep resentation on the board has been the tenure of Robert W. Woolley, of Vlr glnla and Kentucky, who 'resigned last tall. ' Most of the eandldates ' from the southsrn state boomed by various sen ators, representatives and commercial bodies are of the Democratic per suasion. That one and all of such can didates, together with the seotlon they represent, will have to await another vaoanoy on the rate-making body, seems certain under ths reported da le! a tort of Mr. Harding to name two Re- , publloana. . t. (f .;,;. V ... , Greasing I'p the team. Roller. While Republicans are gsttlng offices down town, the trusty old steam roller ef the O. O. P. Is bslng greased at ths ospltol building and plana are afoot to end tha extra session of Congress by a oonalstent uae of the, party Jugger naut. The uae of the ' steam roller. brought to near perfection In the daye of the full power ef Cannon, Dalsell, Payne and "Jim" Tawney, Is again in Immediate prospect as the Republican majority schemes to bring this session of Congress to a close by the first or middle of August. Current reports at the oapltol In both Republican and JDemooratlo clroles are that the party, now having such a largs majority In both branches, will not hesitate to get the steam roller out of Its rules committee garage and flat ten out the protesting but small min ority. Ths Democrats are frankly ex- peotlng to be run over many times dur ing ths session. The Republicans be lieve the ends will justify the means. It Is known that President Harding la planning to get away on a summer vacation In August. He does not Intend to leave Waahlngton for more than a day or two at a time so long as Con gress remains In session. When a dele- gation from Atlanta asked Mr. Hard ing to come to that city and attend a eelehratlnn . of the ann varaarv or ths birth of Henry W. 'Orady, th Presi dent said he could not visit the sou Hi at thla time, but hoped to go down next winter. Incidentally, he told the delegation that his first' real jaunt would be tov the far northwest and he had made, tentative arrangementa to go to Alaska and the northwest next August. This program fits In with the gos sip at the oapltol that the Republican ' majority Intends. to sxpedlte the btiai ness of the cession, ienstor Penrose. of the finance committee, hns Indlcsteil Ithat If necessary cloture will be used - to mass anort snnri or tne emergency farmers tariff bill. Thrice, already, have the Democrats ' of the house been Meamrollered by the overwhelming Republican majority In the lower chamber. Though the session Is only two wseks old, a protesting minority . has been bowled over at ieaat -three times ones on organisation and adop tion of the rules; again on. the seating of a member agalnat whom there was a protest, and again oa committee see algnments. , ' Democrats Fewerleaa. , Democrats of ths house candidly ad- - mit they are so far outnumbered that they may only protest. Tbe minority haa Just about a sufficient number of votes to demand a roll call aad Insist upoa the presence of a quorum. The Republicans have the votes at any time to force through "gag" rulea and set aaide the regular rulea of the house and when occaaioa demanda they will not hesitate to uae their power. Bo predominant Is ths O. O. P. ma- . Jorlty that Representative Pou. rank- ng Democrat of the rulee committee. leaded that tha rule which provide hat a two-thirds vote may aet aaide the rulee of the house be chsnged to reed a "three-fourths" vote. Tbe Rr. ubllcan leaders merely langhed at hint and the ua.iitv attainable iwe-thlrus proportion stands. - Although both bAdles of Congress ere. In recess today, and one or two aye have been lost sluce the eoavei. ng of the extrs session. It Is said that his brief rest Is hot the forernnaer of rut hie, use of the steam roller when the senston really gets ender way. In the daya of the Cannon regime la te house.
