POU COULD GET IT I Fourth District Congresamwi Oldest Man In House In Point pf Serv. ice. But His Health Is Against Him Now By CHARLES P. STEWART 1 : Washington. Nov. 4.—Provided the "Democratic national ticket wins Nov. : R. the choice of a successor to John I N. Garner as speaker of the House of j Representatives Immediately becomes i a live issue. It will be a vitally important issue, too, for the speakership generally is considered the post of greatest power in the country, next after the presi dency. In fact, some surprise has been expressed at Speaker Garner’s will ingness to exchange it for the vice •presidenttal chair. It is true, how ever. that the vice presidency offers; possibilities which the speakership does not. . Anyway, if Roosevelt and Garner win. the speakership will have to be filled after next March 4; it is un derstood that the Texan will continue to preside over the house until then. Granting a Roosevelt and Garner victory, it is safe to presume that the succeeding house not only will be Dem ocratic also, like the present one, but by a heavily increased majority. This being the case, such speaker ship preferences as the representa tives may show at the 1932-33 win ter’s congressional session will be no very reliable indicator as to the out come of the competition which is sure to develop, for it will be at the ensuing session that the new presid j ing officer will be elected. The mem bership of the house probably will be radically different then. Still, while it is Impossible to say who will be picked, it Is easy enough to point to the group of eligible* from which the selection almost certainly will be made.

It was generally conceded that no party would "be able to gain a major ity of the seats in the Reichstag and this state of affairs would appear to leave three courses open to the Jun ker government of Chancellor Franz von Papen. They were: 1. The Reichstag could be dissolved and the same situation confronted as made the election necessary. 2. A dictatorship could be estab lished. 3. Th® government could make its peace with the parties of the center and right and govern with them thro ugh the Reichstag.

(AP)— Pre election campaign reports from the collection agencies of both major parties Indicate this to be the most economic presidential campaign since back in the days before Mark Hanna. The Republican National Committee reported today that it had collected $1,938,821 up until November 2, and had spent $1,960,290.
