The San Francisco call., 1901-11-19

~ ALL BUREAU, 1406 STREET,
X N. W.. WASHINGTON, Nov.
W 1s.-Friends of the President now
expect conflict between the ex-
ecutive branch of the Govern
ment and the Senate unless the present
drift is changed. There are experienced
observers in Washington who say that a
conflict cannot be avoided.
One source of the trouble, as announced
In The Call yesterday. may be the selec-
ton of chairman Of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, made vacant
by the death of Senator Cushman K.
Davis. The rumor that the President is
urging the candidacy of Senator Lodge.
despite the fact that Senator Cullom Of
Illinois is entitled to the place by right
of seniority, will not down. Should the
President take a hand in the contest for
this craftsmanship he will stir up a tre-
mendous storm in the Senate, which re-
CARDS as sacred the right to manage it's
own affairs-a right with which no Presi-
dent has ever heretofore sought to inter
fere.
But the principal bone of contention Is
the appointments which the President
will have to make to vacant brigadier
generalships in the regular army and
army promotions in general. Other ap-
pointments may be dragged in and fur
nish fuel to the fire.
Blow at Politicians.
Secretary Root, at the request of the
President, served notice on the politicians
on last Saturday that no requests made
by them regarding army appointments
would be considered by him, and that i'm
portunities made by members of Con-
gress and others would be regarded as
prejudicing the cases OF those they were
