JUNIOR REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WANT A FASTER LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On June 28, 1921, the New York Tribune's Washington Bureau reported "almost 100 Republican 'first-termers' in the United States House of Representatives" were planning to caucus "to urge speeding up the entire legislative program."
The junior legislators were also planning to make a formal complaint against seniority rule. They were particularly concerned that the matters of tariff and tax reform had not made it out of committee.
Representative Martin C. Ansorge* (R-New York) said...
"Business and labor are patiently awaiting the passage of the great financial matters."
*Martin Charles Ansorge (1882-1967) was born in Corning, NY & graduated from Columbia University (1903) & Columbia Law School (1906). MCA served in the US House of Representatives 1921-1923. In 1922, he named the first African-American to the U.S. Naval Academy.
