Republicans Buckle Down as Senate Committees Reshape
Associated Press report on April 27 describes Republican senators reassigning committee seats in the Senate. Key moves place Barnett on Appropriations, remove Lorimer from Interstate Commerce to the District of Columbia, and push La Follette toward Interstate Commerce. Bristow seeks Finance but gains no seat there. Progressives win four of the nine seats on the three big committees, while Kenyon’s stance aligns with administration supporters as Taft administration contacts continue in New York.
