The La Follette wool bill passed 46 to 20 as Democrats and insurgents allied. House Democrats caucus opposed new battleship authorizations and the sundry civil bill moved forward.

In Cedar Rapids the sixth district caucus defeated N. F. Reed of Ottumwa for re election as chair, appointing L. S. Kensington of Newton in his stead. Reed was reinstated at a late session, with Judge Wade ruling the committee can restore him.
