Heard From ut Council
Se?hion Tonight, When
J* Appointment (Monies Up
, Evidence* of an unexpected ac
cession in Mrength on the part of
Noah nright, manager of the lo
cal branch of the Coast 'Oil Com
pany. and potential suco-snor or
L. W. Anderson on the City Coun
cil, became suddenly apparent
Monday, on the eve of the Coun
cil session at which Anderson *
successor was to be unpointed.
Until Monday, It had been re
garded as practically certain that
Charlen M. <; t 1kk?. furniture man
ufacturer, would be the Council'*
-choice for the vacancy. Mr. (irlKK-t
was supported by Councilman
Kramer, I'. C. Cohoon. Hughes,
and, supposedly, by E. J. Cohoon.
Now comes the news from what
ar? apparently absolutely authen
tic sources thai Councilman E. J.
Cohoon is pledged to support Mr.
Bright, and that Councilman Arm
strong has agreed to follow Mr.
Cohoon In the matter. With Coun
cilman Morgan seemingly also be
hind Mr. Bright, and Council nun
Davis expected to full in llrte, it
looks like a four-three majority
for him.
Thus far, the only 'argument
brought against Mr. Bright is tl?. '
contention that Street Commls
aloner Anderson is for hlin. Those
who are'opposing Bright* candi
dacy seem to fear that his elec
tlou would mean the continuation
of the Anderson influence on the
Council ? and they express appre
hension as to the bearing that In
fluence might have in the event
that the predicted furjher move t??
"unload" the holdings of the Gas
Company upon the city material- 1
Uea.
i \ Councilman Davis was out of
town Monday, and was not ex
, pected to return until 7:30 o'clock
-the hour at which the Council
meeting was scheduled to begin.
His attitude on the question of a
successor to Mr. Anderson is not
yet definitely apparent, and those
'who are opposed to the uppolnl
ment of Mr. Bright, knowing Mr.
Anderson's friendliness to him.
are basing their last lone hope on
the possibility that Mr. Davis may
pull with them.
Councllmen Kramer. Hughes
and P. C. Cohoon are expressing
a willingness to compromise on
virtually any candidate who Is
generally known as n progressive
and public spirited citizen, and
who Is clearly not in any way
connected with the Anderson po
litical element. They do not know
that Mr. Bright la thus connected,
hut they fear him by reason of Mr.
Anderson's activity In behalf of
him these laat few days.
There were indications Monday
afternoon that a considerable del
egation of citizens would be pres
ent at the Council meeting, pre
pared to be heard from when the
matter of selecting a successor to
Mr. Anderson came up.

west also holds n winning hand.
It has ranking members oil no let*
than seventeen of the ihirt y-th.'ee
committees.
. The Middle West, Including Ke'n

ships and the Kant has eleven.
This is a marvelous change from a
few y??ars ago when the Senate vir
tually was lu the grip of New Kng
land. Hut that tight little section,
not 'o be denied its place in the
sun. has its first President in the
White House for something like
70 years.
The most remarkable phase of
the situation In the Senate Is the
fart that three of Its most import
ant committees are presided over
by men from states having about
the smallest populations of any In
the entire American Union.
Smoot. of Utah. presided over
the all-powerful committee on fi
nance. which corresponds to the
committee on ways and means in
the House. Senator Warren of
Wyoming, presides over the com
