Representative Dyrnes of South

gressional Record nn extract from u
letter by Representative Sherwood of
Ohio to his "homo paper" on tho vnluo
of servlco in the house. It Is In part
as follows:
"Somo districts, notably tho
fourth Ohio, hnvo established, tho two
term system on tho theory that tho
honor should go around In order to
glvo each of tho six counties In tho
district tho opportunity to namo n
congressman. In my humblo Judgment
a congressman should bo selected on
lite merit without regard to his habi
tation. Under tho complicated rules
of parliamentary procedure of tho
houso of representatives, tho mos
complicated of any parliamentary
body around Iho world, n now mem
ber Is hrtrdly nblo to command nttcn
tlon on tho floor of tho houso In dehnto
during his first term nnd Is not able
to secure n chairmanship of an Important committee under tho rules until ho
has served at least three terms. Hence tho Intrinsic value to any constitu

"During tho past 75 yenrs tho South has held nn Important position In
