With thelf tssus7adoas majority Ia Tie
usat House sbey lhink ls wll be "a
easy uasttsr for tnsm ~ ges The pFesi-
aeacy %. snd thsy save already
figured on controlling tns senate IA the
course Of year or Eso. Al tals makrs
them feel very o.g indeed, and On al
aides one hears tx ~ What they are
goiuz tO do shen they have catered
into possession Of their kingdom. Their
nr.I Intention = clearly 20 oppose ia
every way possible ths legislative pre-
gram lald down By the Republican
majority and Il these obstructive t4c-
tes lead - an extra session after the
4Lh OF next March, they viii not De dis
appointed. II may BE that by their Op-
position 20 the Federal Election Dlll and
the Apportionment bill they can force
an extra session, as the appropriation
bills have ~ be passed before TIE end
OF the session, otherwise the wheels OF
Government vii come 20 halt. By
delaying action on the Appropriation
bI.s the President would have no other
alternative, exec a u call IA extra ses-
son OF Congress.
Regarded from a strictly party
point II view, Il would De
q very shrewd move on the
part Ol the Republicans to force an ex-
ira session. bus &c may oe sad they viii
do nothing Of the kind. Iney intend
70 carry out the program which they
mapped out al the commencement OF
the lass session, and tne fact that the
elections went against them lsst month
hasin 10 Nsy altered their original m
fenuons. It there Is al extra SESSION
tne responHbihty for 70 will rest with
tne Democrats and not with tho Re
pabAcans
From a party standpoint, as | have
already aid. 10 would help the RepuD-
Leans should an extra session De called.
.If the Democrats had 4 small majority
.in the next House, say anywhere from
Fifteen 10 thlrty, they will naturally
have % Be somewhat conservative, and
marty q sciplins would be pretty we'll
enforced. But with their present large
fruaiOrity 10 will De impOsable 10 have
iany kind OF discipline, and the result
s,glIl be that instead Of there being a
fcompact and we'll organized army
the Democrats Will resemble a mob, a
mob .n which each man - looking out
Only for himself.
The Democrats Just now labor under
the additional disadvantage Of having
no leaders. There are already some
eight or ten Speakership candidates IN
r.sf -. .
s.ds of the House WHO has served more
than one term thinks he stands a
frr chance Of being elected %
that high office. II looks now as If
there would be lively fight when the
,ampaign opened IN earnest, the result
Cf which no man can forsee. One
thfny - plan enough. The Speaker
can only be elected by combinations,
and there viii De a good deal Of heart
bnrnInz among the defeated. You
might Know wnat a scramble there >
for ths place when / tell you that the
name ot Judge" ChlPman has been
srrious,v mentioned, aud 70 has even
tean ssfd that ue has al the necessary
nnaEfsat0us % enable him % preside
over the House. Just think OF lt.
gh,nman for speaker. Alter the pres
