SENATOR ALLISON CALLED EARLY
this morning and his conference with the Pres
ident was of considerable Duration The others
came one at a time, but they were all on the
same business. They wanted to talk very seri-
ously over the situation and to make a move
towards forming
STRONG PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
The small majority by which they will hold
the next House and the responsibility that rests
upon them make IL important that no slight
advantage possible by party organization
should be lost
Especially is it important that they should
carry everything at the elections in the new
states. The nominations in these states will
occur very soon now and the elections are fixed
for October. The democrats are doing some
great work in Montana and this has aroused
the present activity on the part of the republi-
can leaders.
THE TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT TO-DAY
was about this matter of the elections in the
new states, the advisability of calling an extra
session of Congress and, in general way, the
whole matter of party policy.
On two things there is a general concurrence
or opinion, the President, 1t is understood, not
differing with the rest. They are first, that
the election in Montana must not be
left to take care of itself, but should
be looked after by the national COM
mittee; second, that there must be an
extra session of Congress called to meet about
the LIST of November, that is. as soon as pos
sible after the new state elections. These two
things are Of vital importance to the party.
SLIP IN THE NEW STATES
might prove disastrous, and the elections then
cannot be left to chance. The recent demo
cratic Successes in Montana have caused some
anxiety for the little majority in the next
House, and Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Allison, and
the rest are not running any more risk
in the matter than is necessary. They
do not know how well the democrats may be
organized for quiet work. The President also
Is alive 70 the necessities of the situation and
advises strong and compact party organization.
While he can do nothing in the matter himself
he sees the Importance to the party that the
national committee should keep an eye on the
Montana elections. He appears to have prac-
tically made up his mind to call Congress to-
gether in November.
None of the Senators who conferred with the
President to-day would talk about what trans
PRED, but they each expressed the opinion
that
CONGRESS WILL MEET IN NOVEMBER.
Mr.. Allison said to a STAR reporter: II can't
speak with any authority, but have thought
all along that we would meet early in No
vember"
Senator Chandler said that naturally the
members of the party were giving some atten-
ton to matter to important to them as the
new state elections He said a number of
Senators had been talking the situation. He had
no doubt that the republicans would carry all the
new states. He would not say anything about
his talk with the President, but said he looked
for Congress to meet in November.
