Shall the Speaker choose at random or accordingto some definite principle of selection? In view of the Speaker'sinterest in the welfare of the party which raised him to the office, hewould naturally inquire in advance the purpose for which the recognitionof the chair was desired. It was a manifest step towards orderlyprocedure in session, however, when instead of crowding around theclerk's desk bawling for recognition, members applied to the Speaker inadvance. In Speaker Blaine's time, this had... become a regular practiceand ever since then, a throng of members at the Speaker's office tryingto arrange with him for recognition has been a daily occurrence duringa legislative session. Samuel W. McCall, in his work on "The Business ofCongress, " says that the Speaker "usually scrutinizes the bill and thecommittee's report upon it, and in case of doubt he sometimes refersthem to a member in whom he has confidence, for a more carefulexamination than he himself has time to give.
