Democratic Caucus
Seeking Harmony.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S-The Demo.
cratic Representatives are discussing
with great interest the meeting of the
caucus which is scheduled for next
Friday night for the purpose of con-
sideration of certain resolutions bear
ing upon party policy. So far as can
be ascertained at this time the senti-
ment of the minority Is that the eau
Gus should not undertake to promul-
gate any code of party policy at this
time. The more conservative leaders
think that it will be<1lnwise to under
take to repeal the Kansas City plat
form by Congressman who have not
been commissioned by the people to
discharge any such duty. The COM
mittee to which the resolutions of
fered at the last meeting of the eau
Gus were referred mas about reached
the conclusion to recommend that no
action be taken. Ii they do not so
recommend they will report the reso-
luton back for the action of the eau
Gus without recommendation
Representative Mcclellan of New
York. who offered the resolution
which stirred up the debate before,
says that he is willing to withdraw
the resolution rather than precipitate
an acrimonious debate, and the I'M
derstanding is that if the special
committee reports his resolutions
back to the caucus he will ask per-
mission to withdraw them Such ac-
tion will insure peace and enable the
| caucus to confine its action to pend
| ing legislation.

exceedingly small audience at the

stated to the audience that he was
extremely sorry that the crowd was
so small but that he would give the
entire performace as scheduled A
committee was chosen as was done
the night before. to watch the doc

given by DR. McIvor-Tyndall is one OF
the best of it's class and it Is too bad
that the Tucson theatre going public
did not turn our better to see his
show. 1t discourages the manager on
the Opera House in bringing good
