THE SET-UP IN CONGRESS
The most convincing visible evidence of the Democrat
ic sweep in the elections of November 6 to be found in Wash
ington is the United States Senate chamber.
Col. Ed Halsey, secretary of the Senate, and Chesley
Jurney, sergeant-at-arms, have been amusing themselves in
their spare time since the elections in shifting senatorial
desks from the left (Republican) side of the chamber to the
right (Democratic) side.
The result is striking when one glances down from the
vauntage point of the press gallery and sees just to what ex
tent the Republican side of the dividing political aisle has
been stripped.
One whole row ol desks formerly occupied oy JttepuD
licans had to be shifted over to make room for newly-elect
ed Democrats. To fill up the gaping space, the remaining
27 desks left have been scattered liberally around.
Republican senators of the 74th Congress will have
no cause to complain of being crowded. A square dance, al
most, could be executed in the yawning space between their
desks.
Halsey and Jurney admit the present set-up may be
only temporary. It may be necessary after the Senate is
convened to form a “Cherokee strip” on the Republican
side to take care of the Democratic overflow. It was nec
essary once before to do this to provide seats for Republi
cans. Back in 1907 nine Republicans took up their abode on
the Democratic side.
Huey Long may force a “Cherokee strip” all by himself.
The Louisiana “kingfish” has a habit of roaming all over the
chamber while making a speech. After Huey has tread on
a few senatorial toes on the crowded Democratic side there’ll
probably be a howl for more space. Already Senator Byrd of
Virginia, who sits immediately behind Long, has served
notice that either he or Huey must move in the next Con
gress. Byrd threatens to sit on the Republican side unless
Vice-President Garner gives him another seat.
Probably the toughest assignment of them all on the
Senate side of the capitol in the next Congress will be that
of young Leslie Biffle, secretary to the majority.
It’s Biffle’s job to keep track of all the Democratic sena
tors. He must know where they are at all times or else see
that they are paired for important votes. He is responsible
to Senator Robinson, the majority leader, for the where
abouts of all Democratic senators. *
With 69 on his hands in the next Congress, Biffle is in
for a hard time. Often in the past it has been a question of
how fast Biffle’s heels flew around the capitol, whether the
Democrats won or lost on a roll call. He’ll be forced to
move faster than ever from now on.
In the old days when a boy started to college there was
danger that he might get to running around with painted
women and become a wastrel. Now the greatest danger is
that he might turn out to be a crooner.
