Elders and progressives reshape the Senate and House
The piece argues that Senate committees are controlled by aging leaders while progressives gain influence. It cites La Follette, Borah, and others pressing reform, and predicts an open fight over committee reorganization. In the House, reformers target Speaker Cannon, with voters having punished Hepburn, Overstreet, and others in tariff and policy debates. Public funding disclosures loom for campaigns.
