After prayers and a roll call by States beginning "Alabama-McDuffie," Democrat John Nance Garner of Texas was nominated for the Speakership amid party whoops and rebel yells. Put up against him was Republican Bertrand Snell of New York (TIME, Dec. 7). The vote: Garner, 218; Snell: 207; Schneider, a Wisconsin Insurgent: 5. None of the three voted for himself. With the House, now Democratic for the first time in twelve years, standing and cheering, Speaker Garner in a brown-speckled suit was ceremoniously led up the new blue carpet to the rostrum, duly installed. With one autocratic sweep...

Because he is "reactionary," Mr. Snell will be fought by the Wrestern irregulars. Because he is "ineffectual," Mr. Tilson will be shunned by many of his fellow Eastern...
...might U. S. statesmen call on Europe to take a rather larger, a rather kinder, a rather better attitude. But the only direct U. S. rebuttal in Washington last week was a yelp of mental pain, quite lacking in dignified rebuke or injured moral rectitude. Yelped Representative Bertrand H. Snell, onetime upstate New York cheesemaker, chairman of the House Rules Committee: "Why is it that when a group of internationalists get together, they always decide that Uncle Sam must be the goat...
