WASHINGTON, Dec, THE opening pro.
cccdings of congress were in keeping with
the quiet dizziness of the gathering of the
members and politicians in general. There
Wa q good attendance in both branches,
but after the roll.cal members left, and
but few remained to listen to the presi-
dents message, which, beyond the swear
ing in of atew new members, was the only
thing done during the day, The feeling
is one OF waiting to see which way is best to
start in tor the winter All recognize that
tits a presidential winter, and there is great
caution in opening the political fight.
Both parties are hcsitating only to make
sure Of their grip in the struggle which all
admit is surc'to come, The common inn
preston is that the contest is to deibcrated
upon until after the. holiday recess.
